"Minecraft" Sets Austrian Sales Records
In an unprecedented turn of events, the Minecraft movie has become a global phenomenon, captivating audiences and breaking box office records. The film, which hit theatres in 2025, has seen significant success internationally, particularly in Europe.
The Minecraft Movie has grossed an impressive $531,090,068 internationally, according to recent reports. This figure represents a strong showing, with the film's domestic box office share accounting for only about 44.4% of its worldwide gross, indicating a robust international performance. The total worldwide gross stands at $955,039,263, making it one of the top-grossing films of the year. However, it fell just short of the $1 billion mark.
Despite not reaching the same level as some other films, the Minecraft Movie has proven to be a formidable competitor. For instance, Disney's remake of Lilo & Stitch has surpassed the Minecraft Movie's worldwide gross, reaching nearly $973 million. The Minecraft Movie is ranked among the top international box office films, with Lilo & Stitch being a closer competitor to the $1 billion milestone.
The Minecraft Movie has caused a cinema sensation in several countries. In Austria, the film has surpassed 250,000 visitors, and in Germany, it is the most successful film of the year, with 1.66 million visitors. The success of Minecraft reflects an international trend, suggesting that the appeal of the film transcends borders.
In the United States, the film has been a box office hit, with Minecraft thrilling over 75,000 cinema-goers last weekend. In just 12 days, the film has grossed $291.3 million in the USA. The Minecraft Movie is referred to as the "Golden Ticket" for cinema-goers, indicating its popularity.
However, the success of the Minecraft Movie has not been without incident. There have been reports of riots and disturbances during screenings in several American cities. Furthermore, the TikTok trend "Chicken Jockey!" has caused chaos in US cinemas, prompting police interventions and the implementation of a policy requiring teenagers under 18 to enter the cinema with adult supervision.
Meanwhile, the Minecraft movie's success has extended beyond the silver screen. McDonald's has launched a Minecraft film menu, offering Minecraft-themed meals to customers.
As the Easter weekend approaches, it is expected that more cinema tickets for the Minecraft Movie will be sold, further cementing its place as a cinematic sensation. The Minecraft Movie, with its captivating storyline and endearing characters, continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
