The new Minecraft movie became a box office success almost immediately after its release in theaters. Minecraft is one of the best-selling video games of all time that has infiltrated pretty much every medium, so its jump to a feature film was all but a matter of time. In our review of A Minecraft Movie, we found it to be surprisingly funny despite its contraints. Audience reactions have made it a theater-going experience for the ages. All in all, it’s not too surprising that it currently holds the top spot as the highest-grossing movie in the U.S. so far this year.
If you’re still hoping to watch A Minecraft Movie in theaters, don’t worry, you still have time. For those of you waiting to watch the movie at home, I’m happy to report that A Minecraft Movie is now available on digital.
Where to Stream A Minecraft Movie Online
A Minecraft Movie released on digital on May 13, 2025, around five weeks after the movie’s initial release in theaters. The Bonus X-Ray Edition available on Prime Video is available to rent for $19.99 or buy for $24.99, which, for what it’s worth, is the same pricing as the physical release.

When Will It Come to Streaming?
We don’t yet have a streaming release date for A Minecraft Movie, but we know that it will land on Max when it does hit streaming because it’s a Warner Bros. project. There is no clear time period when we can expect the movie to make the jump to a streaming service since it depends on how the film does in the box office, but we can make an educated guess based on past Warner Bros. movies. Theatrical windows have shrunk in the last few years, some as short as 14 days before hitting VOD. For a movie with such crossover appeal like this one, we’d bet that it has a longer life in theaters and won’t hit streaming for three to four months. That would place the potential streaming release date sometime in June or July 2025.
What About the Physical Release?
A limited edition steelbook is available for preorder, set to release on June 24, 2025. The marketing team has already pushed Minecraft Movie LEGO sets and a McDonald’s collaboration, and we’ll likely see even more merchandise over the coming weeks.
A Minecraft Movie – Plot Summary
If you haven’t been keeping up with the latest trailers for A Minecraft Movie, here’s a quick synopsis of the film directly from the Warner Bros. website:
“Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits – Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Jason Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers) and Dawn (Danielle Brooks) – find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Jack Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative… the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.”
