"It's fair to say that A Minecraft Movie was divisive. Critics by and large loathed it, but kids adored it on a colossal scale, catapulting it into multiple meme-driven frenzies. There was the thing about throwing popcorn, the Lava Chicken song, and a heartfelt tribute to a Minecraft YouTuber legend. It seemed to find that perfect spot of crowd-pleasing delight, while being close to impossible to defend on a critical level. (Although I maintain it spoke powerfully on toxic masculinity.)"
"A Minecraft Movie has made almost half a billion dollars in the U.S. alone over the last six months, making it the year's biggest film-but only by a hair! It's just under $200,000 ahead of Lilo & Stitch, although the pair are far, far in the lead domestically. Globally it's sitting just shy of the big one billion bucks, this time beaten by Lilo & Stitch which has just crossed the line internationally."
A sequel to A Minecraft Movie is scheduled for July 23, 2027, with Jared Hess returning as director and writers Jared Helm and Chris Galletta attached. The first film divided critics while becoming a cultural phenomenon among children, spawning meme-driven moments such as popcorn throwing, the Lava Chicken song, and a tribute to a Minecraft YouTuber. The film earned nearly $500 million domestically and approaches $1 billion worldwide, trailing Lilo & Stitch internationally. Cast details remain unconfirmed, though Jack Black is widely expected to return and IMDb currently lists Black and Jason Momoa. The sequel could explore The End and an Ender Dragon storyline.
