BOOM! “Minecraft Movie” Raking in the Dough: Heads to $200 Mil After 6 Days in Release

I’ve never typed the word “Minecraft” so many times in a week. It’s like a drinking game!

“A Minecraft Movie” moved up to $185 million last night. The Warner Bros release will hit $200 million tonight or tomorrow. This is after just days in theaters — tomorrow will be a week.

David Zaslav must be brushing his teeth with Champagne. The movie cost $157 million. Worldwide sales are now over $300 million. This is the way Hollywood works, though. Everything is cyclical. “Superman” should be so lucky!

What even is “Minecraft”? Does it matter? Not at all!

To continue providing news that takes a fresh look at what's going on in movies, music, theater, etc, advertising is our basis. Reader donations would be greatly appreciated, too.
