The Minecraft Movie has shattered box office records, surpassing The Super Mario Bros. Movie to claim the title of the biggest domestic debut for a video game adaptation. Starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, with the latter also featured in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, this Xbox game adaptation raked in an impressive $157 million in North America alone. In comparison, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which still holds the record as the highest-grossing video game adaptation ever, opened with $146 million domestically back in April 2023.

Internationally, A Minecraft Movie added another $144 million, bringing its global opening weekend total to a staggering $301 million. With a production budget of $150 million, excluding marketing costs, the film is already showing signs of profitability for Warner Bros.

Based on Mojang's Minecraft, the best-selling video game of all time, A Minecraft Movie leverages the enduring popularity of the Microsoft-owned sandbox game. The film's release has been accompanied by movie tie-in DLC to further engage fans.

IGN's review of A Minecraft Movie scored it a 6/10, noting, "Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess puts a surprisingly specific and funny comic spin on A Minecraft Movie’s kid-friendly adventure, especially in its less antic first half." For those who have seen the movie, IGN offers an in-depth explanation of the ending and post-credits scene, featuring insights from director Jared Hess and Minecraft's Torfi Frans Ólafsson.

On the other hand, Disney's live-action Snow White is facing potential disaster with a global box office of $168.4 million ($77.5 million domestic and $90.9 million international). Given its hefty $250 million production budget, a miraculous turnaround akin to Mufasa: The Lion King seems unlikely.
