A Minecraft Movie has just made it onto another impressive all-time box office list. The video game adaptation was released in theaters early last month on April 4. Since then, it has become a mᴀssive success, developing a huge following and generating a series of viral memes online. A Minecraft Movie‘s leading cast includes Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Sebastien Hansen, Emma Myers, Jennifer Coolidge, Danielle Brooks, and Rachel House. It has already gotten a number of achievements, including becoming the no. 2 highest-grossing movie of the year to date.

As per Box Office Mojo, A Minecraft Movie has made it past another major record. It is now in the top 75 highest-grossing movies of all time at the worldwide box office, taking the no. 75 slot. At the time of writing, the movie’s worldwide gross sits at $921.9 million. In order to get into the top 75, it had to beat out Bohemian Rhapsody. Its next movies to beat include Shrek 2, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and Minions: The Rise of Gru.

What This Means For A Minecraft Movie

The Film Continues To Set Records

A Minecraft Movie‘s impressive achievements may not stop there. With its latest box office achievement, it is edging in on Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, a hit that also stars Black. That movie made $962.5 million worldwide, putting it in the no. 65 slot on the all-time box office list. This puts A Minecraft Movie just $41 million behind another Black hit. While it has already had seven weekends in theaters, the film could pᴀss Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.

A Minecraft Movie‘s lasting chart-breaking news is a testament to the movie’s staying power. Though the movie has seen revenue drops between its weekends at the box office, which is to be expected, its falls are not as extreme as other movies. The film has managed to stay in the top 5 at the domestic box office every single weekend since its release, including this past weekend. So, while its pace has slowed significantly, A Minecraft Movie is continuing to make money seven weeks in.

Our Take On A Minecraft Movie’s Latest Record

A Minecraft Movie Defied Initial Expectations

A Minecraft Movie continues to exceed expectations as it lingers in its box office success. While video game adaptations are on the rise and Black has been a part of many hit films, this movie was the subject of mockery in the months leading up to its release, as many took issue with its trailers and more. Even with the initial resistance, A Minecraft Movie has been able to come back with a bang, developing a devoted fan base and continuing to break records, such as its most recent top 75 of all-time status.
