The Minecraft Movie crushed expectations with a massive $157 million domestic opening and $144 million overseas, pulling in $301 million globally in just three days. With a $150 million budget, it’s already made back most of its cost and is on track to break even at $375 million—and possibly more. Originally expected to open around $60 million, The Minecraft Movie blew past projections by nearly $100 million. The film now joins the ranks of the biggest video game movie openings ever—possibly on its way to a billion-dollar total. So what caused the surge? It wasn’t just the game’s global popularity or the star-studded cast. Social media played a huge role. Viral clips of packed theaters cheering during scenes like Jack Black’s “I am Steve” moment and the chicken jockey reveal exploded online. That buzz drew more people in, making it the most talked-about movie of the moment and turning it into a surprise box office powerhouse.
