Although it's only been out for a few days, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:A Minecraft Movie is already proving to be a massive success beyond what the filmmakers ever thought possible, including Mojang Studios’ creative director꧅ Torfi Frans Olafsson.

"I’ve seen A Minecraft Movie a squillion times during development. But there’s something very different about just sitting in the back of a theatre watching crowds giggle, cheer at the memes, laugh with each other and celebrate moments," said Olafsson on . "I wasn’t ready for how much an event this is!" Game developer Olfafsson also served as producer on the movie, and even pops up in one of the best Minecraft Movie Easter egg🐭s, references, and cameos.

. This openi🌺ng is not only the biggest domes🌟tic release of the year so far, but the biggest for a video game adaptation in history.

A Minecraft movie hasn't only excelled at the box office, but it's created a whole experience. Online, viewers have posted clips of watching the film in theaters, with many moviegoers throwing popcorn and screaming when certain meme-able lines such as 'Chicken Jockey' appear. However, fans trꦚeating the movie like a sports game has gotten a few viewers in trouble, with the police even being called to one showing.

This is quite the feat since the movie received a real mixed bag of reviews and landed it a less than impressive 48% score. However, fans seem to be loving it, as the film stands at an 87% audience score. In our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:A Minecraft Movie review, we gave the film three stars and called it, "an entertaining fantasy adventure that makes light work of what might appear to be unpromising source materi💖al."

Directed by Jared Hess, the movie follows four regular humans (Sebastian Hansen, Emma Myers, Jason Momoa, and Danielle Brooks) as they get pulled into a strange cubic world where their only chance of survival falls down to an eccentric man named Steve (Jack Black). The film is based on Mojang Studios’ 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Minecraft game, and also stars Jennifer Coolidge.
