The Minecraft movie is getting a special sing-along theatrical re-release titled A Minecraft Movie: Block Party Edition, extending its successful run in cinemas.
Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have announced the new version, aiming to build on the film’s impressive box office performance. While specific details about the enhanced edition are still under wraps, Warner Bros. has confirmed it will invite fans to “sing (and meme) along” with several musical moments featuring Jack Black as Steve. The Block Party Edition will debut in select North American theaters on May 2.
This decision comes after the movie's explosive initial run, which saw it dominate the box office since its premiere earlier this month. In its opening weekend alone, the film grossed over $301 million worldwide, quickly surpassing the $500 million and $700 million marks. With a current global total of $816,566,661 (as reported by Box Office Mojo), the race toward the $1 billion milestone has been both rapid and remarkable—making this re-release a strategic move to boost its final earnings.
The *Block Party Edition* aims to amplify the viral energy that surrounded the movie from day one. From the moment it hit theaters, *Minecraft* fans showed up in full force, chanting references to iconic elements like the Chicken Jockey, Steve, Crafting Tables, and more. The enthusiasm reached peak levels when one audience member famously brought an actual chicken into a screening.As the hype settled slightly, Jack Black’s musical contributions—particularly his character Steve’s rendition of Lava Chicken—have become a standout internet sensation. The track gained so much traction that it made history by debuting on the UK’s official music chart as the shortest song ever to do so.
With A Minecraft Movie: Block Party Edition set to return to theaters next week, Warner Bros. and Legendary are betting on another wave of fan-driven chaos and meme culture. Until then, you can explore producer Torfi Frans Olafsson’s take on whether Herobrine truly appeared in the film.
