The film will be released in the summer of 2027
The long-awaited Vibrant Visuals update has finally received an official release date: 17 June. This is a significant event for millions of players, as Mojang is preparing a real visual breakthrough that will give the iconic pixel graphics a new lease of life, making them even more atmospheric and exciting. Forget about the usual landscapes - Minecraft will become even more beautiful.
After a successful run in cinemas that brought in over $900 million, the Minecraft film is now officially available to rent or purchase for home viewing. Fans of the iconic game can now enjoy the adventures of Steve and his friends from the comfort of their sofa.
The world of cinema continues to be conquered by pixel magic as Minecraft demonstrates incredible resilience at the global box office, crossing the amazing $800 million mark. This success makes the film adaptation of the popular video game the highest-grossing Hollywood film of the year so far, and by a wide margin. Captain America: The Brave New World is in second place with $414.8 million, according to BoxOfficeMojo.
The new film based on the cult game Minecraft, which has grossed more than $550 million at the global box office, has become not only a box office hit but also a source of unexpected problems for cinemas.
The Minecraft soundtrack, composed by Daniel Rosenfeld, has been recognised and will be included in the National Recording Library of Congress. This iconic music joins classic video game sounds, such as the Super Mario Bros. theme, to highlight Minecraft's influence on culture and history.
After the release of Minecraft, cinema-goers began to stage real performances during screenings (though not all of them are pleasant). However, one case surpassed all the previous ones: someone brought a live chicken to the screening.
The Minecraft film has just been released and has already set a record for the first weekend, earning more than $301 million worldwide. Now, director Jared Hess has announced that a sequel is already in the works. Hess expressed his excitement at the opportunity to return to the world of Minecraft and continue the story they had just begun to uncover in the first film.
In the film Minecraft, eagle-eyed viewers have spotted a scene that they believe alludes to the famous myth of Herobrine. However, Torfi Frans Olafsson, Senior Creative Director at Mojang Studios and producer of the film, explained that this was not a deliberate Easter egg, but the result of a technical error.
The premiere of the Minecraft film caused strong reactions in cinemas: viewers shouted "Chicken Jockey!", threw popcorn, and in some cases even had to call the police.
Director Jared Hess presented the audience with a story inspired by the popular game Minecraft. The film stars Jack Black and Jason Momoa. The film's budget was $150 million.
Director Jared Hess and producer Torfi Frans Ólafsson hope that their film Minecraft will inspire adults to keep creating, regardless of their age.
Minecraft has already turned 15, but Mojang has no plans to replace it with a sequel. IGN asked about the possibility of a sequel to the best-selling game of all time (if you don't count Tetris). Ingela Garney, the executive producer of Minecraft Vanilla, gave a cheerful but clear answer: "Do you think we're going to have an Earth 2? No, no, there will not be a Minecraft 2".
At a time when many games are switching to the free-to-play model, Minecraft continues to adhere to the traditional sales model. Mojang developers have confirmed that they have no plans to change this strategy.
It turns out that Black Jack was supposed to play a completely different character in the Minecraft film. Instead of Steve, the actor was originally supposed to embody the image of a talking pig. This role change came "very, very, very late" in the production process, as Frans Olafsson, Mojang's senior director of original content, told Torfa.
