Get Rowdy with A Minecraft Movie: Warner Bros. Announces “Block Party Edition” Screenings!

Warner Bros. is bringing fans back to theaters in a big way with a new type of screening for A Minecraft Movie. The studio has announced “Block Party Edition” screenings, where fans are encouraged to sing, shout, and laugh along with the film.

These special showings will take place this Friday, May 2, across North America and in select international theaters.

The idea comes as the movie enters its second month in theaters. Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures hope the fun, interactive screenings will bring fans back for repeat viewings.

In the official announcement, the studios said: “Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures invite fans back to the theater to experience A Minecraft Movie together in a whole new way! You know the moments. You know the lines. You love the songs! Now it’s time to get loose, laugh out loud and belt out those lyrics like a true diamond-tier fan.”

These rowdy screenings are inspired by the movie’s opening weekend, when excited fans were already getting loud in theaters, and some even threw popcorn and got a little wild. While it made extra work for theater staff, the fan energy helped boost ticket sales and gave theaters a big win at the box office.

A Minecraft Movie has been a massive success. It has made $815 million worldwide, far more than expected. It’s currently the biggest movie of 2025 so far, although Disney’s Lilo & Stitch remake could soon be a challenger.

The movie stars Jack Black as “Steve,” a pro crafter in the Minecraft world. The story follows four misfits who are pulled into the pixelated world and need to find a way back to the real world.

The movie also stars Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Hansen, and Jennifer Coolidge. It was directed by Jared Hess and is the first live-action version of the hugely popular Minecraft game.
