A Minecraft film has gone quite surprising, with $ 58 million Coming the first day in the United States and $ 110 million worldwide.
Minecraft reported $ 58 million on Friday in the United States, and an additional $ 52 million abroad for a total opening day of $ 110 million, according to Mojo Office Box. Projections are for more in -depth growth and this could well be the largest opening of the year.
This is important for Microsoft, who was unlucky with some of his Hollywood efforts linked to the game such as the Paramount + series for Halo.
Now Microsoft can participate in a part of the success that has grown in films and television for competitors like Nintendo (the film Super Mario Bros. generated $ 1.3 billion in 2023), Sega (which had three successes with Sonic The Hedgehog) and Sony, which had a huge success with the last of us on HBO.
The founder of Mojang, Marcus “Notch” Persson, created Minecraft and sold it to Microsoft in 2014 for 2.5 billion dollars. The game continued to develop its audience under Microsoft, with 204 million monthly active users in December.
The film Warner Bros. was produced by Jared Hess and he features Jason Momoa, Jack Black and others. Critics of the film Minecraft were quite weak, but that did not prevent the Minecraft generation from going on the film.
