It’s still bringing in millions at the box office, but Warner Bros is fast-tracking A Minecraft Movie to digital services and DVD, Blu-ray and 4K disc.
At a point where cinema chains are negotiating to hold major studios to a 90-day exclusive theatrical window, Warner Bros is pressing ahead with its current policy when it comes to A Minecraft Movie. The most successful American movie of the year at the global box office, and closing in on $1bn at the box office, the film was released in cinemas just over a month ago, and already, it’s been made available on premium video on demand services.
It’s debuted in the US, and the UK digital release is 19th May 2025. We saw Warner Bros do this with the hugely successful Beetlejuice Beetlejuice last year, when at a point the film was third at the US box office, it was fast-tracked to on demand services.
Warner Bros has already confirmed a physical media release in the UK as well, with A Minecraft Movie confirmed for DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray over here on 30th June 2025.
Furthermore, the Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs will come with a smattering of extra features as well. As per the press release, there’s this little lot (none of which you’ll find on the DVD edition, incidentally.)
