The highly anticipated "A Minecraft Movie" is set to begin streaming next week, giving fans and families alike the opportunity to experience the blockbuster hit from the comfort of their homes. After a successful theatrical run that saw the film gross over $951 million worldwide, it's poised to captivate a new audience on streaming platforms.

"A Minecraft Movie" will be available on Max starting Friday, June 20, 2025. This release comes approximately two and a half months after its initial premiere in theaters on April 4, 2025. For those eager to watch it on television, the movie will also be broadcast on HBO on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. ET.

In an inclusive move, Max will also release a version of "A Minecraft Movie" featuring an American Sign Language (ASL) translation, performed by Deaf ASL Interpreter Sophia Morales, on the same day as the original release. This ensures that a wider audience can enjoy the film.

Directed by Jared Hess, "A Minecraft Movie" boasts a star-studded cast, including Jason Momoa as The Garbage Man, Jack Black as Steve, Emma Myers as Natalie, and Danielle Brooks as Dawn. The story follows a group of four misfits who find themselves transported through a mysterious portal into the Overworld, a bizarre and cubic land where imagination is key to survival. To return home, they must master the Overworld, protect it from evil forces, and embark on a magical quest with Steve, an unexpected expert crafter.

The film's arrival on Max is expected to give it a significant boost, potentially making it one of the biggest streaming hits of the summer. Many viewers who saw the film in theaters may revisit it on Max, while new viewers will have the opportunity to experience the world of Minecraft in a whole new way.

For those without a Max subscription, "A Minecraft Movie" is currently available for purchase or rental on various digital platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango At Home. However, waiting until June 20 will allow subscribers to stream the movie at no additional cost on Max.

The decision to release "A Minecraft Movie" on streaming platforms a few months after its theatrical debut aligns with the approach taken by Warner Bros. Discovery. This strategy allows the film to maximize its box office potential before reaching a broader audience through streaming. Given the film's success, there are already reports of a sequel being in the works, with potential hints of the character Alex appearing in "A Minecraft Movie 2".
