Based on the hit video game Minecraft, this hit movie centers on four misfits who find themselves transported into a cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination and must master its many mysteries to find their way back home alongside an expert crafter named Steve.

The cast of this long-awaited adaptation is one star-studded affair, and it includes Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, Sebastian Hansen, Rachel House, Jemaine Clement, Jared Hess, and Matt Berry.

Expectations were running high for A Minecraft Movie, given the popularity of the original video game that inspired it, and this adaptation managed to exceed them. The film scored a massive $301 million global opening, setting several domestic records in the process.

A Minecraft Movie earned $157 million domestically, setting the record for the highest-grossing opening weekend for a movie based on a video game in North America. It also scored the biggest domestic debut of 2025, breaking the record previously held by Marvel’s Captain America: Brave New World with $88 million.

It only took five days for Moana 2 to gross $221 million in North America and $165.3 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $386.3 million. Sky seems to be the limit for this film, after it managed to score the highest five-day domestic opening of all time surpassing The Super Mario Bros. Movie at $204.6 million.

Moana 2 hit the theaters just in time for Thanksgiving and broke countless records associated with this holiday. It earned more money than any other movie on Thanksgiving with $28 million, in addition to scoring the highest Thanksgiving debut and weekend. All these records were previously held by another hit Disney sequel—Frozen 2.

Moana 2 sees the titular heroine embarking on the journey to the far seas of Oceania after receiving an unexpected call from her ancestors. Auliʻi Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson lead the film’s voice cast, which also includes Temuera Morrison, Nicole Scherzinger, Rachel House, and Alan Tudyk.

Challengers centers on a former tennis protégé Tashi Duncan who turns to coaching after suffering a career-ending injury, helping her husband Art (Mike Faist) rise to prominence and become a Grand Slam champion. They must face the ghosts of their past during a low-level Challenger event, where Art finds himself across the net from his former BFF and Tashi’s ex Patrick (Josh O’Connor).

Challengers topped the box office with $15 million grossed domestically, during a particularly slow week in North America. It also earned $10 million overseas.

These numbers are pretty impressive considering it’s an original film with an R-rating, and its star and producer Zendaya is hoping its success will inspire studios to give more original titles a wide release.

“We need to make more movies like this. It’s kind of scary because this is an original screenplay and those can be difficult to get people out to see. I hope that we can continue to have more variety (in Hollywood) and get people engaged with different kinds of films,” she told US Today.

Napoleon proved to be a force to be reckoned with as soon as it hit the theatres and exceeded box office projections during its opening weekend. It grossed a total of $78.8 during its five-day opening frame, including $46.3 million from the international box office, and its reign continues after a month in the theaters.

This historical epic finally crossed the $200.7 million mark globally, including $141.1 million from the international box office and $59.6 million in North America. This number is quite significant because its production budget is estimated at $200 million, and reaching this box office milestone means this film finally managed to break even.

This historical epic chronicles the rise to power of the French Emperor Napoleon (Joaquin Phoenix) and his complicated relationship with his wife Joséphine (Vanessa Kirby). Tahar Rahim, Rupert Everett, Ben Miles, Ludivine Sagnier, and Matthew Needham also star.

Despite impressive box office numbers, Napoleon was met with mixed reviews, mostly due to historical inaccuracies, especially in France. Scott famously dismissed the criticism by saying, “The French don’t even like themselves.”

Box office experts were predicting this film would gross $8–10 million on its opening day, but they weren’t even close! The Color Purple exceeded our wildest excitations with its impressive $18.2 million domestic opening, which is truly one for the history books.

This marks the second-largest Christmas Day opening for a movie since Sherlock Holmes, which grossed $24.6 million following its release in 2009. To make the whole thing even better, The Color Purple also scored the highest-grossing domestic opening day for a musical during the post-pandemic, breaking the record recently set by Wonka with $14.4 million.

The Color Purple is an adaptation of the hit Broadway musical of the same name, based on Alice Walker’s seminal novel. It centers on the trials and tribulations of Celie Harris-Johnson (Fantasia Barrino), an African-American woman facing many hardships in the South during the early 1900s. In addition to Barrino, the film also stars Taraji P. Henson, Danielle Brooks, Colman Domingo, Corey Hawkins, H.E.R., Halle Bailey, Ciara, Jon Batiste, and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor.

According to its official synopsis, The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes follows a young Coriolanus Snow, who is the last hope for his failing lineage. He’s assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird, a young tribute from the impoverished District 12, and he sees this as an opportunity to shift his fate.

Tom Blyth and Rachel Zegler star as Coriolanus Snow and Lucy Gray Baird, while the film’s supporting cast includes Peter Dinklage, Jason Schwartzman, Hunter Schafer, Josh Andrés Rivera, and Viola Davis.

The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes narrowly missed the $100 million mark, failing to make back its budget and meet the box office projections, but its numbers are pretty solid. It topped the global box office with $98.5 million grossed during its opening week, including 44 million domestically and $54.5 million internationally.

This prequel also helped The Hunger Games franchise cross the $3 billion mark at the global box office, despite scoring the lowest opening weekend amongst the five films in this series.

Barbie managed to overtake The Super Mario Bros. Movie as the highest-grossing film of the year after less than two months in the theaters. It originally premiered on July 21 and set several opening records upon its release after scoring the largest domestic opening ever for a film by a female director.

It also had the most impressive opening numbers for a film that was not a sequel, remake, or superhero property. It went on to become Warner Bros’ fastest film to reach $1 billion and later became the studio’s highest-grossing film of all time, beating Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.

Barbie sees the titular heroine, played by the Oscar-nominated actress Margot Robbie, embarking on a journey of self-discovery in the real world. The film’s star-studded cast also includes Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Ariana Greenblatt, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Michael Cera, Will Ferrell, and Helen Mirren as the film’s narrator.

Following its highly-anticipated premiere on July 21, Barbie exceeded everyone’s box office projections and scored an epic $337 million global opening. It earned $155 million in North America and an additional $182 million in other territories during its opening weekend.

Greta Gerwig’s latest directorial effort set several major records with these impressive numbers. In addition to scoring the highest debut for a film in 2023, Barbie also had the highest-grossing weekend for a female-directed film and the highest-grossing weekend for a non-sequel, non-remake, and non-superhero movie.

Barbie’s numbers are quite impressive given its tough competition in the theaters this weekend. Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer premiered on the same day, and the tonal difference between the two films inspired the Barbenheimer trend. This viral phenomenon helped both films attract a larger audience, with Oppenheimer grossing $174 million worldwide on its opening.

Barbie is the first live-action take on Mattel’s beloved doll, and it shows its titular heroine played by Margot Robbie embark on the journey of self-discovery in the real world. The film also stars Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Will Ferrell, and Ariana Greenblatt.

The Way of Water is now the sixth highest-grossing movie of all time, and it’s joining the ranks as Avatar, Avengers: Endgame, Titanic, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Avengers: Infinity War as only the sixth movie in history to ever earn more than $2 billion worldwide.

It’s not a shocker to see The Way of Water reach this impressive number since it set many major box office milestones following its release on December 16, 2022. It became the highest-grossing movie of 2022, with the third largest opening during the pandemic era behind Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

The Way of Water has grossed $597.9 million domestically so far, but its performance overseas is even more impressive, with $1.426 billion earned outside of North America. It crossed the $2 billion mark in just 37 days, becoming the second-fastest movie to reach the milestone behind Avengers: Endgame.

Multiple outlets report that the feature adaptation of the acclaimed musical from Andrew Lloyd Webber is bound to lose anywhere between $70-$100 million according to rival studio executives and based off a production cost of $90 million net. 

After opening to a very disappointing $6.5 million domestic debut, Cats failed to gain any traction in the box office. 

The feature adaptation of the musical about a tribe of cats called Jellicles and their competition to determine who will receive a new life features a stellar cast pretending to be felines that includes Judi Dench, Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, Rebel Wilson, James Corden, and Idris Elba.
