Warner Bros. and Legendary’s A Minecraft Movie couldn’t have carried at a better time. The pic, based on the the wildly popular kids video game, earned a record-shattering $10.6 million in Thursday previews. Five Nights at Freddy’s previously held the record for biggest previews for a video-game adaptation at $10.3 million.

Legendary’s family-friendly video game adaptation has made $10.55 million at the box office in Thursday previews so far. The film is projected to make between $70 million to $80 million in its opening weekend.

The film earned $10.5 million in Thursday previews, setting a new record for video game adaptations and topping the $10.3 million preview total of "Five Nights at Freddy's." That Blumhouse film went on to an $80 million domestic opening weekend in October 2023 driven by strong turnout from Gen Z fans of the indie horror game series.

Jack Black and Jason Momoa star in the first attempt to adapt the blockbuster video game for the big screen. And Pedro Pascal returns in a real-life inspired Bay Area anthology with a lot going on.

Reviews are in A Minecraft Movie, what looked like a likely disaster of a movie and they are…honestly, better than expected.

The popular game gets turned into a movie, complete with Easter eggs, killer pigs, Jason Momoa in cheesy acid-washed denim and a whole lotta irony.

From Drop to A Minecraft Movie, these are the films to stream at home and watch at the cinema this month. David Cronenberg's latest sci-fi-tinged drama stars Vincent Cassel as Karsh, an inventor who looks a lot like Cronenberg himself.

Jack Black and Jason Momoa star in this adaptation of the megahit video game that leans into the mindless silliness of mid-aughts comedy.
