[UPDATE] A Minecraft Movie pulled in $57 million in the US for its first Friday–that’s the most money for any video game movie on its first Friday ever. It’s even higher than The Super Mario Bros. Movie’s first Friday ($54.8 million). However, it’s not exactly a fair comparison, since The Super Mario Bros. Movie opened on a Wednesday back in 2023.
In any event, Deadline reports that A Minecraft Movie could make $145 million over its first weekend in the US–counting Friday, Saturday, and Sunday–this would compare to $146.3 million for The Super Mario Bros. Movie’s Friday, Saturday, and Sunday combined haul in 2023. But again, The Super Mario Bros. Movie actually released on a Wednesday.
Only three previous movies in history that opened in April had a bigger Friday than A Minecraft Movie in the US–these include Avengers: Endgame ($157.4 million), Avengers: Infinity War ($106.3 million), and Furious 7 ($67.4 million).
