A Minecraft Movie is now available to stream after a billion-dollar box office run, letting fans enjoy the Gen Z-fueled hit at home.
After dominating the box office with nearly $1 billion in global earnings since its April debut, A Minecraft Movie has officially landed on digital platforms—meaning fans can now explore the Overworld from the comfort of home.
The live-action/animated hybrid adventure, based on the wildly popular video game franchise, is now available to purchase or rent via video-on-demand platforms including Prime Video. Released digitally on May 13, the film offers flexible viewing options: buy it for $24.99 to watch anytime or rent it for $19.99, which allows 30 days to start the movie and 48 hours to finish once you hit play. No Amazon Prime membership is required, but users do need a free Amazon account to access the movie.
The Minecraft Movie follows four misfit characters—played by Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, and Sebastian Hansen—who unexpectedly find themselves trapped in the fantastical block-built world of Minecraft. With the help of Jack Black’s character, Steve, a crafter who’s been stranded in the Overworld for decades, the group embarks on a thrilling and comedic journey to get back home.
The cast also includes Jennifer Coolidge as Vice Principal Marlene, Rachel House voicing Malgosha, ruler of the Nether, and Jemaine Clement as Daryl, with additional voice roles by Jared Hess (General Chungus) and Matt Berry (Nitwit). The blend of offbeat humor, family-friendly action, and nostalgic nods to the Minecraft universe has resonated especially strongly with Gen Z and Alpha audiences, sparking a wave of viral trends and internet memes.
Directed with a sense of quirky flair and packed with fan-favorite references, A Minecraft Movie has quickly developed a cult following, evolving from a gamer-centric curiosity into a pop culture sensation.
Now that it’s available on-demand, the movie is poised to reach an even broader audience, especially families who may have skipped theaters. Whether you’re in it for the adventure, the comedy, or just to hear Jack Black as a pixelated survival expert, there’s never been a better time to dive into the Overworld.
