The highly awaited A Minecraft Movie has kicked off strong, pulling in $57 million on its opening Friday and breaking records for video game films. While it edges out The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which collected $54.8 million on its debut, the timing makes a fair comparison tricky. Experts forecast a weekend haul between $70 million and $90 million for the film, which comes with a hefty $150 million production price tag. Boasting a cast that includes Jack Black and Jason Momoa, the movie has drawn mixed reviews but aims to win over both dedicated fans and newcomers.
