Despite hits and misses over the years, Hollywood is now focusing on video game IPs and successfully adapting most of them into blockbuster hits. However, no one expected A Minecraft Movie to shatter all estimates and earn hundreds of millions in a few days.
Warner Bros. is now looking to catch this lightning in a bottle before it vanishes, and plans for a sequel to the Minecraft film are already being discussed. Multiple interviews have revealed that we might see the sequel sooner than expected.
Why it matters: A Minecraft Movie’s success has surpassed the expectations of Warner Bros. and everyone involved, to the point that a sequel is already being planned a mere week after the film’s release.

Imminently. The ink might not be dry on the deals yet, but imminently.
