It seems that the movie Minecraft Money Train is still in Choo-Choo Away, since the film has generated another $ 80 million in its second weekend in cinemas in the United States. That does not even include the global sale of tickets, which continue to fly in the popcorn counters worldwide.
According to Variety, the film is still number one at the box office. The Outlet points out that the income of $ 80 million in the second weekend marks a decrease of approximately 50% in national sales of the opening weekend of $ 163 million, but that is the standard for new releases. In fact, although 50% sound like much, it is really not very bad historically speaking.

According to PBS Frontline, a film that only loses 30-40% after its first week tends to be a box office success. While 50% is obviously more than that, the record opening performance of the Minecraft film puts fears of commercial success to bed.
The film has been so good that it has caused an increase in Minecraft players! Add on top of that the tendency of children and adolescents who go to the projections and shout “Chickn Jockey”, it is clear that the film has firmly made the camp in the cultural Ziedgeist.
This star performance has also initiated discussions around a second Minecraft film. While this is not a great shock, it establishes that Minecraft as a multimedia present in our lives will not go anywhere in the short term.
