Warner Bros. is betting $150 million that ‘A Minecraft Movie’ will save the box office—by cashing in on a beloved IP

After an absolute flop of a Q1 at the box office (do y’all even remember that a Captain America movie came out in February?), A Minecraft Movie has Hollywood eyeing a huge opening weekend. The theatrical take on one of the most popular video games of all time opens today, and Warner Bros. is hoping for a $140 million opening weekend.

The film has received mixed reviews from critics, but the $150 million that Warner Bros. reportedly dumped into making it wasn’t to snag a “certified fresh” rating.
