Minecraft has once again captured the box office crown in its second weekend, raking in an impressive $160 million. This brings the total gross for the Minecraft movie to a staggering $550 million, positioning it as a strong contender for the biggest film of 2025. The film’s success is not only due to its loyal fan base but also the explosive popularity of TikTok memes featuring clips from the movie, which have gone viral and significantly boosted ticket sales.
In contrast, other films faced significant challenges this weekend. “Kings of Kings” took second place with a modest $19 million, while “The Amateur” followed closely behind, grossing $15 million. “Warfare” managed to secure $8.3 million in its box office run, and “The Drop” earned $7.5 million.
As the year progresses, it will be interesting to see if Minecraft can maintain its momentum and continue to dominate the box office or if any of the upcoming releases will be able to challenge its reign. The combination of nostalgia, engaging content, and viral social media presence seems to be a winning formula for the Minecraft movie, making it a cinematic phenomenon worth watching.
