Get ready to mine, craft, and party all over again! This time from the comfort of your own home! After dominating the box office with over $872 million worldwide, A Minecraft Movie is officially coming home. Starting May 13, fans can bring the blockbuster adventure to their screens as it debuts on Digital, followed by DVD and Blu-ray releases on June 24th.
Whether you missed it in theaters or can’t wait to relive the pixel-packed fun, now’s the perfect time to gather your crew for a Minecraft-themed movie night!
🎬 About the Movie
From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, A Minecraft Movie is the first-ever live-action adaptation of the best-selling video game of all time. Directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre) and starring an epic cast including Jason Momoa and Jack Black, this wild, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt adventure brings the beloved blocky world of Minecraft to life like never before.
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 (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (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 (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.
Set in a universe where anything is possible, the story follows a ragtag group of unlikely heroes on a quest to save their overworld from destruction, and yes, there are plenty of Easter eggs for hardcore fans and newcomers alike.

Want to make your home viewing a little more legendary? Here are some fun and easy ways to bring the world of Minecraft to life:

Before the movie starts, set up a table where kids (or adults!) can create paper pixel art, color Minecraft characters, or assemble cardboard swords and pickaxes.
🎤 4. Minecraft Karaoke or Lip Sync
