Digital Release of Minecraft Movie Allows Kid's Living Room to Become Chaotic Chicken Jockey Theater
Heads Up, Minecraft Movie Fans!
Looks like Warner Bros. didn't keep the latest blockbuster around for much longer, despite raking in over $900 million globally since its release just five weeks ago. And and nope, it didn't hit the billion-dollar milestone. But hey, now you can catch the pixelated adventure from the comfort of your own home!
Rent or buy A Minecraft Movie today starting from $19.99 or $24.99 on services like Prime Video or Apple TV. That means your little one can now toss popcorn all over your floor instead of the movie theater one!
Despite not quite reaching the USD one trillion (yes, trillion!) box office bounty I predicted, A Minecraft Movie is still the year's biggest movie in the US and the second highest grossing video game movie of all time. It shares the limelight with The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which made a whopping $1.36 billion.
Fun facts? It spawned a 34-second song that graced the Billboard Hot 100 and its memes got so outrageous, someone actually brought a chicken to a movie theater. Talk about dedication!
And nope, you won't find anyone bringing livestock to a Chris Pratt movie. Guess you can't put a price on cultural impact like that!
With Sinners (another Warner Bros. flick) and Thunderbolts snatching top spot at the box office, chances are slim that A Minecraft Movie will break the billion-dollar mark in theaters. Yet, it's still showing on a single screen near me. But hey, the real showdown is between Jack Black's Bowser and Jack Black's Steve!
Expect a physical release on June 24, but a streaming date on Max is yet to be announced. But fret not, I'm guessing that'll happen within another month or so!
