Warner Bros. Discovery announced in May that Jack Black and Jason Momoa’s A Minecraft Movie would begin streaming on Max in June.
However, we’re a week and a half into June and A Minecraft Movie still has no release date on the Max streaming service, which will renamed HBO Max this summer.
News broke on May 21 that A Minecraft Movie was part Max’s new lineup of programming in June. The move was surprising given the expediency of the release coming to the streaming service, considering the film opened in theaters on April 4 and made its debut on digital streaming via premium video on demand on May 13.
In Warner Bros. Discovery’s May announcement of A Minecraft Movie’s debut on the service, the press release only said the movie was “coming soon.”
A Minecraft Movie is still playing in 346 North American theaters. To date, the film has earned $423.6 million domestically and nearly $527.6 million internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $951.2 million against a $150 million budget, according to The Numbers.
A Minecraft Movie attracted unique attention early in the film’s run thanks to the film’s “Chicken Jockey” scene and the havoc that erupted during screenings.

One Streaming Tracker Is Estimating A June 20 Release For ‘A Minecraft Movie’
With no new news from Warner Bros. Discovery about A Minecraft Movie about the release of the film on Max, the streaming tracker When to Stream is projecting a potential landing date for the film on the platform.
When to Stream, which is typically accurate with its PVOD and streaming service reports, previously forecasted June 20 arrival for A Minecraft Movie on Max since that is the only available date that the service doesn’t have a big title scheduled for release. In recent reports, When to Stream is sticking with its projection.
The most recent mention of A Minecraft Movie’s pending release on Max from Warner Bros. Discovery came in a Tuesday press release, where the title was mentioned among others that will be available to 12 new countries when the platform expands its global footprint in July.
Rated PG, A Minecraft Movie follows four misfits (Jason Momoa, Sebastian Hansen, Danielle Brooks and Emma Meyers) who are sucked into a portal in a mine that brings them to the Overworld, where anything the mind imagines can be built with blocks.
It’s in the Overworld where the group encounters a smattering of block-shaped creatures and the human, Steve (Jack Black), who is being held by a nefarious, pig-like group known as the Piglins.
Directed by Jared Hess, A Minecraft Movie also stars Jennifer Coolidge and the voices of Hess, Rachel House, Jemaine Clement, Bret McKenzie and Matt Berry. A Minecraft Movie, of course, is based on the blockbuster Mojang Studios video game Minecraft.
