Here’s some good news before CinemaCon amid an awful box office weekend: Fandango reports that Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures’ upcoming video game adaptation film, A Minecraft Movie, is their best PG-rated ticket pre-seller of 2025.
The movie, which opens April 4, is expected to do $60M+ and its awareness is best with females under 35 (62) and males under 35 (66) per tracking service Quorum. Those also remain the two hottest demos who’ll pay to see the movie in a theater.
Per Fandango, the Jason Momoa-Jack Black-Danielle Brooks movie has surpassed all other 2025 PG-Rated titles in advance ticket sales at the same point in the sales cycle, including Dog Man, Paddington in Peru, and Snow White.
Based on the Mojang Studios game, the film also ranks among the top three best ticket pre-sellers for a video game adaptation movie of all time on Fandango at the same point in the sales cycle. It now joins beloved movies such as The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($146.3M opening) and Five Nights at Freddy’s ($80M).
Jared Hess directed A Minecraft Movie based on a screenplay by Chris Bowman, Hubbel Palmer, Neil Widener, Gavin James, and Chris Galleta.
“Anticipation for A Minecraft Movie is overwhelmingly high among video game fans, families, and beyond heading into opening weekend,” said Jerramy Hainline, EVP of Fandango. “With the film being inspired by the bestselling video game of all time, it is no shock that audiences can’t wait to fully immerse themselves into the big blocky world by watching this film on the big screen.”
