Jason Momoa and Jack Black are celebrating big wins at the worldwide box office, all thanks to their latest blockbuster, A Minecraft Movie. The film is a huge success and has helped both stars reach new milestones in their careers. Jack Black has now crossed the $10 billion mark in global box office collections, while Jason Momoa has officially passed the $5 billion mark. What’s even more surprising? This new video game adaptation has already made more money than Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Released in 2023, Aquaman 2 faced many delays and controversies, which affected its performance. Unlike the first Aquaman movie, which made over $1 billion worldwide, the sequel only managed to earn around $439.38 million globally. But A Minecraft Movie easily beat that number and is still going strong in theaters.
This family-friendly film, based on the popular video game Minecraft, is not just doing well—it’s aiming for the top. The movie hopes to beat The Super Mario Bros. Movie and become the highest-grossing video game movie ever made.
In North America, A Minecraft Movie collected a solid $5 million on its second Monday, making it the fourth-best second Monday ever for an April release. It’s just behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which earned $5.8 million on its second Monday. The opening weekend for Minecraft brought in a huge $162.75 million, followed by $78.5 million in its second weekend. As of now, the film has made $283.86 million in North America alone.
Internationally, the movie earned $273.80 million. That brings its total global collection to a strong $557.66 million, according to data from The Numbers. Thanks to this success, Jason Momoa’s total global box office earnings have now crossed $5 billion. That’s a major achievement in any actor’s career.
Jason recently celebrated the film’s success with a heartfelt post on Instagram. He wrote,
“All my Aloha to my incredible cast and crew! Thank you for all your hard work and all that you do. WE HAVE A RECORD BREAKING FILM BABY!!! Cheeeeeeeoooooo! Can’t tell you how proud I am of this project. Mahalo New Zealand for our amazing crew and all their hard work. Love you JARED HESS!!”
On the work front, Jason Momoa has some exciting projects coming up, including Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and Animal Friends.
A Minecraft Movie is proving that video game films can be both fun and financially successful. With big numbers at the box office and strong audience support, the film is on track to become one of the biggest movies of the year.
