'A Minecraft Movie’ OTT Release: Jack Black’s Box Office Hit Begins Streaming on Max This June

The global box office success ‘A Minecraft Movie’, starring Jack Black, Jennifer Coolidge, and a star-studded ensemble, is all set for its OTT debut. The film, which brought pixelated adventure to the big screen and became one of 2025’s highest-grossing films, will begin streaming on Max from June 20.

The official announcement came via a fun social media post featuring a viral chicken scene from the movie with the caption: “Craft at your own pace. #MinecraftMovie begins streaming June 20 exclusively on Max.”

Based on the massively popular Minecraft game, the movie follows a band of misfits trapped in a strange, blocky universe. With no clear way back, they enlist an eccentric expert to help them navigate the bizarre realm, building and surviving their way through whimsical adventures—all with the goal of reconnecting with the real world.

With a massive $150 million budget, the film has already proven to be a box office goldmine, second only to The Super Mario Bros. Movie among video game adaptations.

Critics have been divided. ETimes called the film’s “absurdity… charming and engaging initially,” especially for longtime Minecraft fans who get a thrill from watching the iconic block-building in live-action. However, the review also notes that shallow storytelling and tonal inconsistency left even fans wanting more substance.

Still, for audiences seeking a lighthearted, nostalgic, and visually quirky adventure, A Minecraft Movie might be the perfect weekend stream when it hits Max on June 20.
