“A Minecraft movie” left Hollywood in a dizzying surprise state when the final box office numbers for their first weekend arrived.
The film Jack Black-Jjason Momoa, which has already become the highest grossing film adaptation of a video game, ended at the house of $ 162.7 million in the US. UU. And $ 150.7 million international millions for a combined opening route or $ 313.4.
The film was only screened to pocket $ 60 million to the first blush, leaving many industry experts wondering how the estimates were wrong and “Minecraft” did so well.
Success probably lies in how the passionate fans of “Minecraft” turned the projections into a phenomenon similar to “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”, but for gene alpha and gen Z.
“I took a movie with an audience, this Hiped ‘Magic Mike’ spray on the opening night at the Old Regal Theater in Brooklyn Heights,” a 50 -year -old resident of Mamaroneck, New York, who was children Ochyar-Aar-Aar-Aar-Aar-Aar-Aar-Aar-Aar-Aar-Aar-Aar-Aar-Aar-Aar-Aar-AAR-AAR-AAR-AAR-AAR-RAAR-IN-IN-IN-IN-IN-IN-IN-IN-IN-IN-INAAR-INAAR-INAAR-INAAR-IN-IN-IN-IN-IN
“My projection was pure pandemonium, in a fun way,” he added. “He reminded me of seeing” Rocky Horror. “
“The teenagers, the preteens, and below were screaming and shouting from the moment the lights went down to play the trailers. Among the trailers, a child, likely 13 or 14, announced to the theater, ‘ladies and gentlemen, if you see my popcorn flying through the air,” “” “”.
The feeling echoed on social networks. “A Minecraft movie is the Rocky Horror Horror program for generation Z,” wrote a person in X.
The success of the film was not undoubtedly fed by positive critics criticism. Nicknamed “irritating” and a “stupidity cavern” by Johnny Olekssski of the post, “a Minecraft film” currently has 48% in the Rotten Tomatoes tomatometer. “
There are some obvious reasons why the film hit was: the difficulty of box office monitoring companies predicting film habits of the multitude of children under 13 years; A McDonald’s Happy Meal and Marketing campaign that caught the attention of the Z and Alpha gene generation; And, or of course, Minecraft is the most successful video game in history.
The financial success of “Minecraft” owes also how the enthusiastic fans turned the film into an event experience.
“It was very interactive. Everyone was super excited. It was a lot of fun!” A films cinema, which saw the movie at the AMC Newport Center 11 in Jersey City on Friday night, The Post said. “People shouted things, applauding. It was definitely an environment.”
“There were many line quotes. Everyone said:” I’m Steve. “Everyone enters on the screen and people shout and applaud were playing.” I get used to not knowing anything [about Minecraft]. It made it more pleasant. “
A piece of “Lore Minecraft” that caused the reactions of the Wildst audience.
“The biggest moment came approximately 2/3 on the way through the film when the ‘Chicken Jockey’ makes its appearance,” recalled Mamaroneck’s spectator to the publication. “The place exploded in shouts and cheers, with people shouting” Chickn Jockey “on the screen and standing in their seats to celebrate.”
Better described as a baby zombie that rides a chicken, the “Chicken Jockey” is one of the most unusual creatures in the video game and has become a favorite Easter Easter for veterinarians.
“There were many children in costumes. That threw me,” said an AMC 84th Street 6 employee, noting that some used “skins” or replicated avatars, used in the video game.
Most children in the theater on the opening weekend ranged between 6 and 10, the employee added.
The “Minecraft” merchandise also quickly exhausted in theaters.
“The person next to me spent $ 100 in Merches,” said Jersey City spectator with amazement. “The theater was left without [limited edition] Tops and people were so discouraged. “
“Oh yes, we have finished. We sold everything [‘Minecraft’] Sol glasses before the 1 PM on Saturday, “Upper West Side cinema employee revealed.” We have none of the luxuries or anything. We simply go an additional shipment for this weekend. ”
“It was an experience similar to a Marvel movie where the guests talked about the movie and about their favorite lines or parts of the film when they left,” said AMC 84 street employee about the phenomenon.

However, some filmmakers thought that many of their sponsors were a bit too hot.
“He made the experience still miserable to me,” said a discontent person through Reddit about the strong vocal interactions of fans. “I don’t know if I’m just an old Cascarrabias at this time in my life or what, but the movie was terrible and the audience was worse.”
In Long Island, the police interrupted a Friday “Minecraft” in Seaford after the members of the audience began jumping from their seats, throwing corn and screaming “chicken jockey!” Several young people were escorted from the theater, but they didn’t make a trial.
In Wasilla, Alaska, the police were called after “noisy teenagers in the back row” or on a Friday night that is allegedly shown with a theater employee allegedly with the body.
The teenagers were told “about their behavior and they were asked to leave,” said a spokesman for the Wasilla Police Department to the post. Theater employees were “satisfied with the result.”
In the municipality of Washington in New Jersey, the theater of the municipality instituted a policy that required that “any minors who want to see the Minecraft must be accompanied by a responsible father or adult” after the night situation.
“A large group of non -supervised children, which are believed to be Waldwick, are dedicated to completely unacceptable behavior, including vandalism,” said a statement on the theater’s Facebook page. “Groups of unaccompanied children will not be admitted.”
On the other side of the pond, multiple theaters of the United Kingdom have also published signs that warn that “disruptive behavior” “will not be tolerated.
However, Hullabaloo will probably attract more spectators from which it will move away. “Minecraft theater reaction” has quickly become a search for superior trend in Tiktok.
