Say what you will about
video game adaptations
historically being, well, not that satisfying, but we seem to be in a new day and age where audiences are more likely than ever to really love the result when these properties come to the big (or small) screen. Such has been the case for
A Minecraft Movie
, which (despite
split critical reviews
) has
dominated the box office
since becoming part of the
2025 movie releases
on April 4. Star Jason Momoa has now sent a sweet message to fans after the film’s success.
What Did Jason Momoa Say To A Minecraft Movie’s Fans After Its Success?
The cast and crew of a film can put their heart and soul into making it and still not have the finished product connect with viewers or end up as a hit, but those behind
A Minecraft Movie
are not having that problem. While a lot of people have
called the new movie “stupid,”
that isn’t always something negative, and
zealous supporters seem to adore this type of foolishness
. The Jack Black, Jason Momoa and Danielle Brooks (among others)-starring film has made over $552 million worldwide as of this writing, and it could soon see itself added to the list of
best video game movies
.
Momoa (who previously sent a
sweet tribute to
Minecraft
’s cast and crew
) took to
Instagram
to share his thanks for the film’s massive success. Here\’s what the erstwhile Aquaman had to say:
Yet another significant moment during this thrilling journey! I am humbled by the affection and backing we\’ve received for Minecraft. A huge thank you to our dedicated fans for being part of this success and turning this movie into a blockbuster hit. Deep appreciation goes out to my team from New Zealand who infused the project with their enchanting touch, along with the producers who meticulously constructed this visionary world piece by piece. Words fall short expressing how thankful I am.
It’s probably safe to say that an actor can never know how a movie will turn out when deciding to take on a role, even if they love their part and the project overall. The
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow
star
(who recently
wrapping filming as Lobo
) and his human castmates had the additional challenge of working on not just a video game-based story, but one that combines some
bonkers live-action and animated characters.
Minecraft
the game has been a hit for well over a decade, and fans who are turning out for the big screen treatment have been
sharing their experiences
of being in a theater when particular moments happen. Overall, it seems like screenings have been a wild time, with one moviegoer even

Even though people getting so carried away during a film showing that law enforcement has to intervene due to their raucous conduct isn\’t ideal, it does indicate that viewers are genuinely engrossed in the content. It highlights how unpredictable it can be to adapt a video game into a movie successfully. The lead actor along with the rest of the team truly built this cinematic experience piece by piece, huh?
