‘Minecraft’ debuts with a box office record

Los Angeles (USA) (EFE) .-
Some figures that have exceeded the expectations of analysts, who had signed up for a collection of about 90 million dollars in their first weekend in rooms.
But ‘To Minecraft Movie’ (‘A Minecraft movie’), which adapts to the big screen this video game released in 2011 and that is the best selling in history with more than 300 million units, has surprised with a box office that is the highest for a first weekend in this 2025.
Success of adaptation to a video game
The 301 million dollars achieved by ‘Minecraft’ also point to the fact that the tape can be easily converted into the greatest success of a film adaptation of a video game, since in this section the highest grossing are ‘Pokemon: Detective Picachu’ (2019), with 450 million dollars: ‘Rampage’ (‘Rampage project’, 2018), with 428, and ‘ (2022), with 407.
In the ranking of the last weekend, the second film is ‘A Working Man’, with Jason Statham, which in its second weekend in the rooms has won 7.2 million, for a accumulated total of 44.4 million dollars.
And in third position, ‘The Chosen: Last Supper Part 2’ (‘Tha Chosen. The Last Supper’), with 6.7 million dollars collected in the United States, the only country where it has been released so far.
‘Snow White’ (‘Snow White’), one of the great Disney bets for this year, follows its disappointing box office race, with just over 6 million this weekend in the American rooms, for a total of 168 million worldwide since its premiere on March 21.
