Warner Bros. gaming division hasn't been having a great time of late, and the company's latest earnings report paints a dire picture.

But Warner Bros. is obviously way more than just gaming, and on the opposite side of the ring is the goliath, A Minecraft Movie. A colossal success, the movie based on one of Microsoft's crown jewels is far and away the biggest movie of 2025 so far.

But in its bread and butter, movies, things are very different. A Minecraft Movie has now grossed over $900 million at the global box office, putting it very much in a league of its own.

Its star, Jack Black, has also been rising through the UK and U.S. music charts, too, holding the record for the shortest track to chart with Steve's Lava Chicken.

There's no sign of slowing down the Minecart either. As of today, May 13, A Minecraft Movie is available on home digital release in the United States, with wider availability in markets such as the UK from May 19.
