‘A Minecraft Movie’ Breaks $550 Million—Jason Momoa’s Career Milestone Surpasses ‘Aquaman 2’

In a stunning turn of events, A Minecraft Movie has firmly cemented itself as one of the most successful films of 2025, surpassing expectations and breaking numerous box office records. With its massive $160 million debut followed by a strong $78 million in its second weekend, the film has quickly become a global hit, raking in a total of $557 million worldwide. Not only does this figure place A Minecraft Movie as the second-highest-grossing movie of the year, but it has also propelled Jason Momoa’s career to new heights, landing the film among his top five highest-grossing projects to date—surpassing even the success of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

A Historic Box Office Run for A Minecraft Movie

The video game adaptation has proven to be a massive success story, dominating the box office in a way few expected. Opening with a remarkable $162 million, A Minecraft Movie became the highest-grossing opening for any video game movie ever. Impressively, it outpaced the entire total earnings of Sonic the Hedgehog’s first film in just one weekend. By its second weekend, the film had earned an additional $78 million domestically, bringing its total to $283 million. While this marks a 52% drop from its debut, the film’s continued strong performance is undeniable, contributing to its $557 million global gross—making it the second-highest-grossing film of 2025 so far.

This success has also placed A Minecraft Movie in a strong position in the history of video game adaptations. The film has already surpassed Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in worldwide gross, securing the title of the second-highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time. Only The Super Mario Bros. Movie, with a final global tally of over $1.3 billion, stands ahead of it. While A Minecraft Movie still has some way to go to take the top spot, it is certainly on track to reach impressive heights as its theatrical run continues.
