We're four months into 2025 and A Minecraft Movie has given cinemas the boost they needed with a huge opening.
But is A Minecraft Movie the biggest movie of the year to date, and what else has been pulling in the punters at the worldwide box office so far in 2025?
We've dug into the current global hauls of 2025 releases to reveal the top ten highest-grossing movies of the year so far.
(The totals below are accurate as of April 11, 2025, and from The Numbers and Box Office Mojo.)
The highest-grossing movies of 2025 so far
10. Boonie Bears: Future Reborn
US: N/A
International: $100,158,099
Worldwide: $100,158,099
The 11th outing in the series, Boonie Bears: Future Reborn is the fifth-highest-grossing of the series, falling some way short of the biggest movie of the series, 2024's Boonie Bears: Time Twist.
What to Read Next
9. Mickey 17
US: $45,486,916
International: $81,615,503
Worldwide: $127,102,419
Two Robert Pattinsons wasn't enough to make Mickey 17 a big hit at the box office. Its takings of more than $125 million might not seem so bad for a weird original sci-fi, but its reported budget of $118 million (not including marketing costs) makes it a disappointment.
8. Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy
US: N/A
International: $131,595,199
Worldwide: $131,595,199
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy wasn't released in US cinemas which impacted its worldwide haul, making it the lowest-grossing outing of the series to date despite being the biggest movie released so far in the UK this year.
7. Dog Man
US: $97,873,800
International: $37,326,348
Worldwide: $135,200,148
Captain Underpants spin-off Dog Man was a bigger hit domestically than overseas and managed to just squeeze past the first movie's $126 million result.
6. Creation of the Gods II: Demon Force
US: $1,853,487
International: $152,722,962
Worldwide: $154,576,449
Epic fantasy sequel Creation of the Gods II: Demon Force was another local hit to release over the Chinese New Year weekend, but couldn't get close to the first movie's $364.6 million result.
5. Snow White
US: $78,779,279
International: $91,316,793
Worldwide: $170,096,072
Disney's latest live-action remake Snow White has definitely been a box-office disappointment. However, it can take comfort in the fact that it's not the lowest-grossing Disney live-action remake ahead of Mulan ($70 million) and Pete's Dragon ($137.8 million).
4. A Minecraft Movie
US: $193,202,117
International: $150,700,000
Worldwide: $343,902,117
After only one week of release, A Minecraft Movie is the fourth biggest movie of the year to date. It will pass Captain America: Brave New World this weekend to become the highest-grossing US release of the year, and who knows how big it can build up over the Easter holidays.
3. Captain America: Brave New World
US: $199,497,617
International: $213,759,648
Worldwide: $413,257,265
Captain America: Brave New World avoided the ignominy of being the lowest-grossing MCU movie, and even got past the first Captain America movie's $370.6 million result. However, it's not performed well as Marvel movies go, currently ranking as the sixth lowest-grossing MCU movie ever.
2. Detective Chinatown 1900
US: N/A
International: $441,289,457
Worldwide: $441,289,457
The fourth movie in the popular franchise, Detective Chinatown 1900 might have fallen short of the $625.1 million result of the third movie. However, in any other year, it might have been bigger over the Chinese New Year if it wasn't for the movie that's top of this chart.
1. Ne Zha 2
US: $17,001,486
International: $1,962,090,000
Worldwide: $1,979,091,486
Animated sequel Ne Zha 2 has been an absolute phenomenon since it's release in China over the Chinese New Year. It has shattered records to become the biggest animation of all time, as well as the seventh-biggest movie ever ahead of the likes of Spider-Man: No Way Home and The Avengers.
It's hard to imagine anything topping it as the highest-grossing movie of 2025, but if anybody can do it, it's James Cameron with Avatar: Fire and Ash. After all, the previous two movies both made more than $2 billion.
