Minecraft opens with record-breaking $157 million domestic box office
'A Minecraft Movie' injected some much-needed life into the slumbering box office with a record-breaking $157-million domestic opening and $144 million overseas. The movie, starring Jason Momoa, Jack Black and Jennifer Coolidge, shattered expectations, doubling some pre-weekend estimates. It took the top slot for a video game adaptation, eclipsing 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' launch in 2023, which grossed $146.4 million. Based on the 2011 video game, the film has delivered a welcome hit for Warner Bros., giving the beleaguered studio the largest domestic opening of the year. It reportedly cost $150 million to make, excluding marketing expenses. It is the first film of the year to gross over $100 million domestically. 'We're absolutely overjoyed 'A Minecraft Movie' has been so warmly received by audiences around the world,' said Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group co-CEOs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy in a statement. He added that the movie's 'decade long journey to the screen was overseen with great care by WBP's Jesse Ehrman and his team, and we are thrilled their efforts have resulted in such a tremendous response.' Last month, domestic box office generated just $410 million, according to Comscore. Given its strong showing, 'A Minecraft Movie,' could 'knock some 7 to 8 percentage points off the year-to-date deficit that heading into the weekend was running 13% behind 2024 and will wind up at around a 5% year-to-date deficit through today,' said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore. The film reportedly cost $150 million to produce. The Amazon-MGM action thriller 'A Working Man,' starring Jason Statham, took in $7.2 million over the weekend, while Fathom Entertainment's religious themed 'The Chosen: The Last Supper,' (Season 5) Part 2, premiered this weekend, coming in third with a $7 million opening. Disney's live action 'Snow White' continues to slide, with $6 million in receipts, its third weekend in theaters.

When Will ‘The Chosen' Season 5 Be Streaming? How Long You'll Have To Wait
Jonathan Roumie stars as Jesus in "The Chosen" Season 4. The first two episodes of The Chosen: The Last Supper, the fifth season of popular faith-based series, are now playing in theaters. If you'd rather skip the big screen—or want to rewatch the episodes at home—read on to find out when and where you can stream Season 5. The next installment of The Chosen takes place during Holy Week before the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Season 4 ended with Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, a miracle that spurred the Sanhedrin and the High Priest to begin plotting to hand Him over to the Romans for execution. 'The table is set. The people of Israel welcome Jesus as king while his disciples anticipate his crowning. But—instead of confronting Rome—he turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival,' the synopsis reads. 'Their power threatened, the country's religious and political leaders will go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus' last.' When I spoke with Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus, he shared that he's especially excited for fans to see the powerful scene where Jesus enters the temple marketplace and flips over the tables of the buyers, sellers, and money changers. 'The marketplaces are just completely upended,' he told me on set last July. 'It will be a wonderfully chaotic scene, and I can't wait for people to see it." In addition to Roumie, the full Season 4 cast is returning for Season 5, including Shahar Isaac as Simon Peter, Elizabeth Tabish as Mary Magdalene, Paras Patel as Matthew, Noah James as Andrew, George H. Xanthis as John, Abe Bueno-Jallad as Big James, and more. Part One of The Chosen: The Last Supper, which includes the first two episodes, is now playing in theaters. Part Two—Episodes 3, 4, and 5—will premiere a week later on April 4, 2025, followed by Part Three with the final three episodes on April 11. All episodes will remain in theaters through April 20, 2025. But when will you be able to watch The Chosen Season 5 at home? Here's what to know so far. "The Chosen: The Last Supper" is now in theaters. The fifth season of The Chosen, titled The Chosen: The Last Supper, will stream exclusively on Amazon's Prime Video this June, which is about two months after its theatrical run. The exact streaming date hasn't been announced, so make sure to stay tuned for updates. Prime Video will also become the exclusive U.S. streaming home for the first five seasons of The Chosen, as well as all future seasons. Internationally, the series will be available on Prime Video later this year on a non-exclusive basis in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sub-Saharan Africa, the UK, and Latin America. For donors who contributed to Season 5, creator Dallas Jenkins shared in a February 2025 livestream that they'll be able to watch the new season on Prime Video just like everyone else. He also noted that the Come and See Foundation will follow up with more details via email. The Chosen's move to Prime Video follows a new deal between series producer 5&2 Studios and Amazon MGM Studios. Previously, the series was available on platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Peacock, but according to Variety, those deals have all expired in recent months. Jenkins launched 5&2 Studios in September 2025 following an arbitration ruling that ended the partnership between his company, The Chosen LLC, and former distributor Angel Studios. The decision granted Jenkins full control of The Chosen, and now he's partnering with Amazon MGM studios for a much larger deal. 'For several years, the team at Amazon MGM Studios has proved over and over they're passionate about this show and our fans,' Jenkins told the site. 'They're going to make us better and get the show to more people, and I can't wait to build this relationship.' The first two episodes of The Chosen: The Last Supper are now in theaters. Check out the official trailer for Season 5, below.

All eight episodes of The Chosen: The Last Supper unfold during Holy Week, leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. As viewers saw in Season 4, Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, an act that has prompted the Sanhedrin and the High Priest to begin plotting to hand Him over to the Romans for execution.

Xanthis as John, Abe Bueno-Jallad as Big James, and more. When I interviewed Roumie, who plays Jesus, he shared that filming Season 5 was one of the most intense experiences yet, largely due to the spiritually significant moments that unfold during Holy Week. 'The Last Supper means so much, very specifically to me and my faith,' he said. He also expanded on Jesus' mindset this season, noting how tensions with the Pharisees reach a boiling point, while the disciples still struggle to fully grasp the gravity of what's coming. 'Jesus says a lot of things, and a lot of it is the culmination of this relationship—this climax between himself and the Pharisees," he explained. "The rebukes that he gives, the sorrow he feels, not just for the disciples, who still fail to recognize what he's telling them is going to happen at the end of Holy Week, but also the sorrow in seeing these Pharisees and authorities misleading in many ways.' One major scene in Season 5 shows Jesus entering the temple marketplace and overturning the tables of the buyers, sellers, and money changers. 'The marketplaces are just completely upended,' he told me on set last July. 'It will be a wonderfully chaotic scene, and I can't wait for people to see it.'

Jonathan Roumie Reflects On Playing Jesus In ‘The Chosen: The Last Supper'
Jonathan Roumie in "The Chosen." Courtesy of The Chosen Jonathan Roumie reprises his role as Jesus in The Chosen: The Last Supper, the highly anticipated fifth season of the popular faith-based series. With the first two episodes now on the big screen, Season 5 marks the beginning of the end as the show moves into Holy Week. Filmed in Dallas, Texas, the new season brings Roumie into some of the most iconic and spiritually weighty moments of Jesus' life—from the cleansing of the temple to the Last Supper. I sat down with Roumie on set last July, where he reflected on the challenges of portraying such sacred events, the emotional toll of the role, and what this means to him as both an actor and a man of faith. Playing Jesus has been the 'greatest honor and challenge' of his life and career, he told me just after celebrating his 50th birthday. After receiving creator Dallas Jenkins' script for Season 5, now officially titled The Chosen: The Last Supper, he said he was both blown away by what was proposed and daunted by the emotional weight of it all. At the time of our conversation, he had two major weeks of filming left, including the Last Supper and another pivotal moment that fans will discover later. 'I'm preparing rigorously for those scenes. But it's really hard to describe the variety of feelings—I'm overwhelmed approaching them, because they're just so loaded with meaning and substance, and an emotional connection, familiarity, and tradition for so many people,' he explained. 'So I'm trying to do my best to surrender it all to God and let Him guide me where He's always guided me for this series, and know that it'll all work out.' One powerful scene viewers will witness in The Chosen: The Last Supper—prior to the crucifixion—shows Jesus entering the temple and flipping over the tables of the buyers, sellers, and money changers. 'Jesus says a lot of things, and a lot of it is the culmination of this relationship—this climax between himself and the Pharisees," he explained. "The rebukes that he gives, the sorrow he feels, not just for the disciples, who still fail to recognize what he's telling them is going to happen at the end of Holy Week, but also the sorrow in seeing these Pharisees and authorities misleading in many ways.' Roumie continued, 'The people that they are meant to govern and spiritually shepherd, in service to their own needs, in service to their selfishness and their greed in many cases, and that becomes the tipping point, especially when it comes to the temple court marketplace, which catalyzes this, the beginning of this monstrous scene that we cover, where the temple is basically all but destroyed. The marketplaces are just completely upended. It will be a wonderfully chaotic scene, and I can't wait for people to see it.' Cast members have described the fifth season of the Christian series to me as chaotic (in the best way), but Roumie said that he would categorize The Chosen: The Last Supper as simply 'intense.' All eight episodes, which will roll out in theaters before arriving on Prime Video in June, cover the entirety of Holy Week, including the Last Supper. For Roumie, filming the Last Supper was one of the toughest scenes, given how personally meaningful it is to his faith. 'The Last Supper means so much, very specifically to me and my faith,' he said. Another challenging event he filmed was a key moment leading up to Jesus' crucifixion (which I'll keep under wraps for now to avoid spoilers). When it came time to film those spiritually significant moments, he admitted he didn't 'quite know how either of those was going to go,' but said he was 'trusting it to God.' The success of The Chosen has undoubtedly changed Roumie's life. His Prime Video series, Jonathan and Jesus, follows the actor on a journey through Rome and Paris, where he meets fans, fellow celebrities—including Pope Francis—and opens up about how he's navigating his rising worldwide fame. The docuseries also details how, after decades of pursuing acting, he finally got his big break with The Chosen. When the New York native first joined the project eight years ago, he had no idea the faith-based series would grow into the worldwide phenomenon it is today. 'I think you never really have a concept of what it's gonna look like. I mean, you hope for an idea of success and know that, 'Okay, we're just telling a really great story.' And if we can get some success out of this, and I can pay my bills consistently, that would be amazing. To have achieved that has been beyond my wildest imagination." Now, with only two seasons left before The Chosen wraps up with Season 7, Roumie is focused on staying present and soaking it all in. 'I'm trying to stay as present as I can throughout all of it, knowing it'll soon be over. I've lived with the character for now six years," he said. 'I don't know what it's going to be like when I'm not doing it. Life will be probably quite different.' The first two episodes of The Chosen: The Last Supper are now in theaters. Check out the Season 5 theatrical release schedule here.
