Warner Bros. and Legendary's cinematic take on the beloved video game is targeting $70 million to $80 million in its domestic opening weekend.

Previews in U.S./Canada start at 3PM for the Jared Hess directed feature take of the Mojang game which cost before P&A around $150M, three-quarters funded by Warners. A Minecraft Movie is booked at 3,400 locations with all premium upcharges working in its favor — Imax, Dolby, PLFs, and motion seats.

With an A-list cast and a big budget, "A Minecraft Movie" releasing this week is hoping to follow in the slipstream of Super Mario Bros by turning a gaming phenomenon

"Napoleon Dynamite" director Jared Hess hurls tater tots and two competitive dorks played by Jack Black and Jason Momoa into the cubist, mega-popular video game.

Jack Black and Jason Momoa star in this adaptation of the megahit video game that leans into the mindless silliness of mid-aughts comedy.

Hear me out. I too rolled my eyes when A Minecraft Movie was announced. We're all tired of seeing Jack Black in video game movies — he was fine in Super Mario Bros., but good god Borderlands was a disaster.
