Could Minecraft be the first BIG success of this year?

I mean, the market (not counting Ne-Zha 2) hasn’t been that kind this year. Companion broke even, but that was thanks to its low budget. Brave New World disappointed for multiple reasons, Mickey 17 may not be the big success they expect due to its high budget, Snow White will have a weak debut, Novocaine isn’t making much noise, Sinners is a wild card, I don’t think it will surpass 300M, but if it surpasses 200M, I still think it’s a decent home run.

And then there’s Minecraft.

Yes, the first trailer was hated BY EVERYONE. But have you seen the reception of the latest trailers? They’ve been more positive and less negative compared to the first one. Not only that, but their views are massive, especially for a WB movie release this year (excluding Superman).

People really underestimate something: Minecraft is the biggest IP in history. If there’s a video game IP more popular than Pokémon and Sonic combined in the modern era, it’s Minecraft. Sorry, but I believe this particular movie (not counting Ne-Zha) will be the first to make this year not feel like a desert.
