Will A Minecraft Movie Be Popular with Gamers?

As Minecraft has a reported 140 million active players, it is likely many will want to visit movie theaters near them to extend the fun or compare the flick to the game.

Criticism has already started rolling in from many gamers, as fans have expressed disappointment that the film fails to reflect the game’s visuals and elements.

Some have criticized the casting of Jack Black, who plays Steve, as they believe he doesn’t match the in-game character’s appearance.

How Much Did A Minecraft Movie Cost to Make?

A Minecraft Movie, directed by Jared Hess, reportedly had a budget of $150 million.

The large budget means Warner Bros. Pictures is expecting a huge return on its investment.

Unfortunately, a movie critic heavily criticized the official trailer for the live-action movie, stating it appears cheaply made for its eye-watering budget.

Also, some are worried the film lacks an understanding of the source material, which could stop people from visiting movie theaters to watch the flick next year.

Many movie lovers believe A Minecraft Movie may follow in Borderlands’ footsteps, as the video game movie was a huge flop in 2024.

The flick, which had a production budget of $120 million, generated only $31 million at the box office and received many negative reviews from critics and international audiences.

However, A Minecraft Movie may fare much better at the box office, as the family-friendly flick will likely attract children and adults, and Borderlands is less accessible due to its PG-13 rating.

How Will the Movie Perform During Its Opening Weekend?

Time will tell how A Minecraft Movie will perform at the US box office during its opening weekend.

As it had a budget of $150 million, Warner Bros. Pictures is likely hoping the flick will earn more than $110 million domestically within the first three days.

It isn’t an impossible figure, as Super Mario Bros. made $146 million during its opening weekend, proving video game movies can generate superb revenue at the box office.

You’ll need to wait and see if A Minecraft Movie replicates Borderlands’ or Super Mario’s success.

If you believe A Minecraft Movie will total more than 70.5 million at the US opening weekend box office, you could win $183.30 by betting $100 at 1xBet if it happens.
