Hollywood’s first hit of 2025 arrived on April 4th with “A Minecraft Movie”, a blockbuster adaptation of the block-building video game. The film took over $300m at the global box office in its opening weekend, putting it on a similar trajectory to “The Super Mario Bros Movie”, which went on to make nearly $1.4bn and become the second-most successful film of 2023. For cinema operators, whose overall takings last year were 30% below their pre-pandemic peak, the hit comes not a moment too soon.
