Minecraft exceeds all expectations and signs a record start at the US box office

Meanwhile, the very large flop of snow white is confirmed.

Minecraft, the film has foiled the forecasts. The blockbuster worn by Jack Black and Jason Momoa was expected to start between the 70 and 80 million dollars for its release in North America, perhaps close to 90 million according to the most optimistic predictions. In the end, he made a double!

Friday, Minecraft had already raised 57 million revenues for his first day. He finished the weekend with $ 157 million on the clock. It is by far the best start of the year, so far held by Captain America: Brave New World With 88 million green tickets. And it is simply an asboli record for the adaptation of a video game to the cinema.

Jordan is a real airline for Warner Bros., after the flops of Joker 2,, Mickey 17 And The Alto Knights. And for the film industry as a whole, which experienced a very worrying early 2025.

Behind MinecraftJason Statham is maintained in second place with A Working Man (27 million dollars cumulative), while the flop of the remake of Snow white is confirmed. The last Disney generated only $ 6 million in revenue for its 3rd weekend, for a very small total of $ 77 million. A bitter failure for a blockbuster of this scale, whose production and promotion were chaotic.

Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot even get ahead of The Chosen: Last Supper – Part 2the only novelty of the top 5. A biblical TV series distributed to the cinema during Lent and which makes miracles every weekend at the box office. The last episode will be released this Friday in the United States.
