The Minecraft movie is extending its theatrical run with a special sing-along release called A Minecraft Movie: Block Party Edition. Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have announced plans to add more fun to the hit game-to-movie adaptation. The upgraded version will encourage audiences to “sing (and meme) along” with the small selection of songs sung by Jack Black’s Steve.
The decision to extend the movie’s run comes after its premiere earlier this month, which brought in a record-breaking $301 million worldwide. With a current global total of $816,566,661, Warner Bros. and Legendary want to add an extra kick to their successful film. The new release will also capitalize on the memes that helped propel the movie to success.
One of the most popular memes surrounding the movie is Steve’s Lava Chicken song, sung by Jack Black. The track has become a fan favorite and even debuted on the UK’s official chart, making it the shortest song to do so. Warner Bros. and Legendary aim to keep up this energy with A Minecraft Movie: Block Party Edition.
The new release will be in select theaters across North America starting May 2. Fans can expect to see more chaos and excitement as they sing along to their favorite songs.
