A Minecraft Movie Blows Past $700 Million At the Box Office In Its Quest To Be the Highest Grossing Video Game Film Ever

"The Minecraft Movie" is flying high at the box office, breaking records and sparking a quest to dethrone *The Super Mario Bros. Movie*. Directed by Jared Hess, the film has already grossed $700 million worldwide, with $41 million raked in over Easter weekend alone. Despite a drop on Sunday, its domestic and international earnings show it's closing in fast on *Super Mario's* $1.3 billion mark. With its strong performance and expanding reach, "The Minecraft Movie" is proving it's no game for second place.
