What A Minecraft Movie’s Streaming Success Means

It Continues Its Success

A Minecraft Movie ranking No. 1 on HBO Max continues its success. It made $951 million at the box office to become the highest-grossing Hollywood film of 2025 so far. It also achieved an 85% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, making A Minecraft Movie more than just a rich source of memes, but showcasing the sheer fun the two bearded leads, Black and Momoa, can have in the blocky sandbox world.

While A Minecraft Movie reviews have been more mixed, most frame the film as a celebration of creativity that offers a vibrant playground for Black and Momoa to playfully explore, all within a story oddly pieced together from familiar cinematic tropes.
