What will be the highest-grossing movie of 2025? Can A Minecraft Movie ride its huge opening weekend to a $1 billion gross?
View the odds for the projected highest-grossing movies of 2025 below.
A Minecraft Movie’s Historic Opening Weekend
A Minecraft Movie defied expectations for its opening weekend box office.
Released on April 4, A Minecraft Movie collected $163 million during its opening weekend. That’s the biggest domestic opening of 2025.
The records don’t stop there.
A Minecraft Movie sured The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($146.3 million) for the biggest domestic opening for a movie based on a video game.
It’s a much-needed win for Warner Bros., which had experienced several misfires, including Joker 2 and Mickey 17. A Minecraft Movie is Warner’s biggest opening weekend since 2023’s Barbie.
Add in a global opening weekend of $150 million, and A Minecraft Movie made $313 million worldwide over three days.
How much higher will A Minecraft Movie go? Can it reach $1 billion worldwide?
Suring $1 billion is unlikely. However, A Minecraft Movie is undoubtedly a hit. If it reaches $700 million, that’s a huge win for Warner Bros., and a sequel will be greenlit.

Keep in mind that these numbers reflect domestic projections, not worldwide.
If this were worldwide odds, Avatar 3 would be the heavy favorite, considering the first two movies both grossed over $2 billion.
However, domestic odds have Zootopia 2 (+194) as the favorite to be the highest-grossing movie of 2025 (domestic). Zootopia was the seventh-highest-grossing movie of 2016 ($341.3 million).
Zootopia 2 also has a prime Thanksgiving Day weekend release, which could lead to a massive holiday haul.
A Minecraft Movie (+285) is currently second, with Jurassic World Rebirth (+488), a franchise that typically does well overseas, in third.
