After months of dominance in theaters and nearly a billion dollars in revenues, "A Minecraft Movie" finally debuts on streaming platforms. Starting Friday, June 20, fans can relive the viral scenes — including the famous chicken jockey — this time from their couch instead of a movie theater seat. The film is available on Max (which is still the current HBO Max), and its premiere is one of the biggest events of the season.
Two versions to choose from – standard and with ASL translation
The Max platform provides not only the classic version of the film but also an edition with American Sign Language (ASL). The translation is provided by Sophia Morales, a deaf translator who brings a new layer of accessibility to the film for deaf viewers. This is another step towards more inclusive entertainment in Hollywood.
Star-Studded Cast in the Pixelated World
Although the world of Minecraft consists of blocky shapes and digital landscapes, the film's cast makes a strong impression. In the production, we will see:
Jack Black
Jason Momoa
Emma Myers
Danielle Brooks
Sebastian Maniscalco
and also Jennifer Coolidge, who – as always – steals the scenes.
Each of them brings their own style to this surreal adventure, creating a mix of humor, action, and nostalgic references to the iconic game.
Minecraft Breaks Records
Since its debut in theaters, the film has grossed over $951.51 million worldwide. According to Box Office Mojo, it is the highest-grossing film of 2025 in Western countries. The production quickly transformed from a risky experiment into a true cultural phenomenon – meme-worthy, family-friendly, and wildly recognizable.
And what about the sequel?
For now, there is no official announcement of a sequel, but everything indicates that it's just a matter of time. In an interview with Deadline, the co-heads of Warner Bros., Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy, admitted that plans for the next installment are in progress.
When asked about possible sequels to “A Minecraft Movie” and “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” (2024), De Luca replied with a smile:
“Maybe the ink hasn’t dried on the contracts yet, but it's just a matter of time.”
