A Minecraft Movie Locks OTT Release Date: Know When, Where and How to Watch Jack Black and Jason Momoa Starrer
A Minecraft Movie was one of the most unexpected movies of 2025 to make it big in the theatres, and now, the fantasy adventure comedy film will just be one tap away. Jared Hess' directorial, the movie has set June 20 premiere plans on Max, with a June 21 at 8 pm ET release on HBO. Any subscribers to HBO Max will be able to stream the film starting on these dates.

What is A Minecraft Movie About?
The story follows Steve, played by Jack Black, who faces trouble with his doorknob business sales and Garrett "The Garbage Man" Garrison, played by Jason Momoa, a game store owner, who find each other in the Overworld and plan to fight the monsters to come back into the real world. They are joined by siblings Sebastian Hansen as Henry and Emma Myers as Natalie, and their real estate agent Danielle Brooks as Dawn, who help them take down Malgosha, the piglin ruler of the Nether– a hell world in the same block universe.
After initially releasing on April 4, A Minecraft Movie has managed to bring in 951 million USD at the worldwide box office, becoming the highest-grossing release of 2025. It is also in the top two of the game-adapted movie storylines, trailing just behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which dropped 2 years ago.

Sunjay Kapur's untimely demise shook the film industry and business world. The billionaire took his last breath on June 12 (Thursday) due to a heart attack while playing polo in the UK. Soon after his sudden passing, the question arises who will lead his Rs 31,000 crore business empire and whether Karisma Kapoor's kids will get a share of his wealth. Sunjay Kapur's wife Priya Sachdev to inherit his Rs 10,300 crore estate Reportedly, Sunjay Kapur had a personal wealth of around USD 1.2 billion (Rs 10,300 crore) at the time of his passing. A Hindustan Times report suggests that his estate management will now pass to his current wife, Priya Sachdev, with whom he lived in the UK. However, the billionaire had already made plans to support all his children. Reportedly, Sunjay had already gifted bonds worth Rs 14 crore to his children, Samaira and Kiaan, whom he shares with his ex-wife, and actor Karisma Kapoor. In addition, they will continue to withdraw Rs 10 lakh each as monthly income.

Sunjay has three children, Samaira (20) and Kiaan (14) with Karisma Kapoor and Azarias (6) with his third wife Priya Sachdev.

Reportedly, Sunjay was the chairman of Sona Comstar, which is an Indian automotive technology company.

Kim Cattrall reveals why she initially turned down 'Sex and the City' role
Kim Cattrall , the actress behind the iconic character Samantha Jones in HBO's ' Sex and the City ,' recently opened up about her initial hesitation to take on the role. As per Deadline, in a candid conversation, Cattrall shared that she turned down the part not once, not twice, but four times before finally agreeing to join the show. Her reason? "Self-inflicted ageism," stemming from her concerns about playing a sexually confident character at the age of 41. Cattrall explained that her mindset shifted over time, and she eventually came to realise that 40 could indeed be "alluring". "Well, that changed. 40 became sexy. It became, 'Man, let's have more of that,'" she said, reflecting on her decision to join the show, as quoted by Deadline. Cattrall's portrayal of Samantha Jones , a character known for her unapologetic attitude toward sex and relationships, became a defining role in her career. Cattrall described Samantha as a woman who enjoyed life on her own terms, and said, "She wasn't a nymphomaniac, well, some people might have thought she was, but she was just enjoying the main course. Everyone else was nibbling on the appetisers when she was going for the steak. And it was always on her terms, that I always insisted on." Kim Kardashian on why she's shutting down KKW Fragrance Despite the character's bold personality, Cattrall noted that she is the antithesis of Samantha in many ways, identifying herself as a "serial monogamist." Cattrall expressed her gratitude for having played Samantha Jones, and said, "I created a fantastic character that I loved, and I put a lot of love in it. And if I'm remembered only for that, then that's really OK." The show, which aired from 1998 to 2004, has had a lasting impact on popular culture, inspiring numerous spin-offs, including 'The Carrie Diaries' and 'And Just Like That...,' the latter of which premiered on HBO Max in 2021. Although Cattrall chose not to reunite with her co-stars in 'And Just Like That...,' she did make a special appearance in the season 2 finale, reprising her role as Samantha Jones.
