The videogame adaptation, A Minecraft Movie, earned spectacular numbers on its Monday after taking the box office by storm with its record-breaking debut in North America. The movie beats The Super Mario Bros Movie’s opening weekend collection to earn the biggest opening for videogame-based movies. Jason Momoa and Jack Black’s film is now set to cross the domestic haul of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in under a week. Keep scrolling for the deets.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was released in 2022 and directed by Jeff Fowler. Like its predecessor, the second film was also met with positive reviews. It collected $190.87 million in the United States and $214.5 million overseas, thus hitting the $405.42 million haul worldwide. Jason Momoa’s film, on the other hand, smashed several past records in its opening weekend only. It will beat the Sonic 2 movie tonight or tomorrow.
Based on trade analyst Luiz Fernando‘s latest box office data, A Minecraft Movie collected a huge $10 million on its first Monday. It registered the second biggest first Monday ever for video game adaptations. It is only behind Sonic the Hedgehog’s $12 million, which was earned by the Sonic movie on Presidents Day Monday. However, it is not all good news, as the film expected a harsh drop of 78.4% from Sunday to Monday.
