Minecraft Movie again tops North America box office

A Minecraft Movie easily held on to the top spot in North American theatres this weekend with estimated ticket sales of a solid US$80.6 million (2.7 billion baht), analysts said on Sunday.

That was roughly half the total of its huge opening last weekend. But with $281 million in domestic ticket sales to date, along with $269 million internationally, Minecraft has set records in its short run.

The Warner Bros/Legendary PG film, starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa, ranks as the most successful film adaptation from a video game.

The film’s huge popularity helped put the movie industry's overall box office performance on a par with the same period last year, Hollywood Reporter said. Four new releases came in far behind.
