VFX Team Weta Talks Creating the Minecraft Movie’s Overworld and Nether
The Best War Games sat down with Weta, the VFX team behind A Minecraft Movie, to discuss how it brought the iconic areas of the Overworld and Nether to life.
A Minecraft Movie: Block Party Edition is coming to theaters on May 2 in North America and select international theaters, and attending fans should get ready to sing and meme. Though A Minecraft Movie came out less than a month ago, this release wants fans to return to the theater and tap into that rowdy energy more than ever. While most movies expect that audiences will remain quiet, A Minecraft Movie: Block Party Edition wants fans to "embrace the film anew" through singing and memeing with the action on-screen. Tickets for the event were available at the time of publication.
A Minecraft Movie Goes Further
A Minecraft Movie has had no difficulty making tons of money at the box office, and this is likely a push that will propel that number even higher. At over $800 million earned so far, fans and analysts have speculated that the movie could potentially reach the $1 billion mark, which would put it in the same league as movies like Titanic, The Dark Knight, and Avengers: Infinity War. However, there would still be a long way to go before it could compete with the likes of Avatar and Avengers: Endgame, which earned $2.9 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively.
With Minecraft being a sandbox title that lets fans do whatever they imagine up and set their minds to, there were a lot of directions that the movie could go in. However, it seems that the filmmakers captured lightning in a bottle by including memeable moments in A Minecraft Movie like Jack Black announcing "I am Steve" and a notorious scene involving a chicken jockey. In addition to scoring tons of money at the box office, theaters all over the nation were left in disarray after rowdy movie-goers left. Chances are there will be a repeat of those events during the new screenings.
