The Minecraft movie is getting a special sing-along re-release titled A Minecraft Movie: Block Party Edition, as Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures look to extend the film’s successful theatrical run.
Following the movie’s impressive global box office performance, the studios have announced plans to bring back audiences with a fresh twist. While full details about this new version remain under wraps, Warner Bros. has confirmed it will invite fans to “sing (and meme) along” with several musical numbers performed by Jack Black’s character, Steve. The Block Party Edition will debut in select North American theaters starting May 2.
This decision comes after the film’s explosive opening, which saw it earn over $301 million worldwide in its first weekend. Momentum continued quickly pushing it past $500 million, then $700 million, and now it sits just shy of the iconic $1 billion mark, having grossed $816,566,661 globally according to [Box Office Mojo]. With such a strong reception, it's no wonder the studios are eager to give the film one more boost.

A Minecraft Movie: Block Party Edition aims to capitalize on the viral fan culture that helped drive its success from day one. From the moment it hit theaters, Minecraft players showed up in full force, creating memorable moments by shouting out references to in-game elements like the Chicken Jockey, Steve, Crafting Tables, and more. The excitement even led to one fan bringing an actual chicken into a screening—an unforgettable stunt that only added to the hype.
Among the many memes born from the movie, Jack Black’s musical performances—especially his quirky track Steve’s Lava Chicken—have become standout cultural highlights. The song gained enough traction to enter the UK Official Charts, earning recognition as the shortest song ever to chart.
As anticipation builds for the Block Party Edition, fans can expect another round of chaotic fun when it hits theaters next week. In the meantime, you can explore producer Torfi Frans Olafsson’s insights on whether Herobrine truly made a cameo in the film.
For those looking to relive the experience or join the party for the first time, this re-release promises to be a unique celebration of everything Minecraft—from its music and memes to its wildly passionate fanbase.
