A Minecraft Movie is off to a pretty amazing start, with $58 million coming in on the first day in the U.S. and $110 million globally. On its second day, the totals increased to $157 million in the U.S., $144 million in the rest of the world, and $301 million worldwide.

Minecraft brought in $58 million on the first day on Friday in the U.S., and another $52 million overseas for a total opening day of $110 million, according to Box Office Mojo. The projections are for further growth and it could well be the biggest opening of the year. The second-day totals show even stronger results. (Updated 4/6/25 at 4:49 p.m. Pacific).
