Cinemark Holdings Inc

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/01/36476388/from-mario-to-minecraft-jack-black-boards-new-video-game-adaptation">highly anticipated "Minecraft" movie </a>has turned into a blockbuster hit for Warner Bros. Discovery Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) and could be a revenue generator for theater companies like AMC Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) and Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>).
The impressive box office numbers will also likely mean more video games getting adapted into movies and TV series as media companies look for built-in fan bases.
What Happened: Billionaire Elon Musk is well-known for many things, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/23/08/33610477/elon-musk-lover-of-video-games-has-praise-for-this-record-breaking-title-and-its-not-elden-ring">his love of video games</a> such as "Diablo 4" and "Elden Ring."
With the success of "Minecraft" at the box office, Musk is now hoping for one of those hit games to be made into a movie.
Musk responded to former Blizzard Entertainment executive Mark Kern, also known as Grummz, who shared a post from GamesIndustry suggesting more video game adaptations are likely coming.
"Just like comics were in the past, the rich history of video games is now the wellspring of creative storytelling," Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1911978724905431227">tweeted</a>.
One X user suggested that they should make a movie based on "Elden Ring" next.
"That would be awesome," Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1911979256730570887">replied</a>.
Musk has often shared his love of the 2022 video game developed by FromSoftware that counts Japanese game developer Hidetaka Miyazaki and "Game of Thrones" author George R.R. Martin as figures who worked on the development of the action role-playing game.
"Minecraft" <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl746096129/?ref_=bo_hm_rd">opened </a>with $162.8 million domestically and has now grossed $278.9 million domestically and $552.7 million worldwide. The film is the top-grossing film domestically in 2025 beating "Captain America: Brave New World" and is the second-highest-grossing film worldwide for the year.

</ul>
What's Next: The success of "Minecraft" could lead to more video games being made into movies and shows. "Minecraft" was released in 2011 and the game's parent Mojang was later acquired by Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) for $2.5 billion in 2014.
The film came with a built-in fan base of varying ages, which could explain how it beat original estimates of $70 to $90 million for its domestic opening. As movie studios and streamers look for their next hits, games with built-in fan bases could be attractive.
"Minecraft itself is a cultural juggernaut — over 300 million copies sold, and a fanbase spanning kids to adults who've been building pixelated empires for years," Exhibitor Relations box office analyst Jeff Bock told <a href="https://www.gamesindustry.biz/video-games-franchises-are-now-ripe-for-the-picking-why-a-minecraft-movie-could-lead-to-games-taking-over-hollywood">GamesIndustry</a>.
Alinea Analytics Head of Market Analysis Rhys Elliott highlighted the timing of the film not being around other blockbusters and coming at a time when many schools were on spring break as a potential win by Warner Bros. marketing team.
Elliott said recent hits like "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" and the Sonic film franchise have shown how video game adaptations can be successful.
&#8220;The Mario movie even outperformed juggernauts like Frozen and Despicable Me. If studios weren't paying attention to games before, they certainly were after Mario. And now Minecraft is another feather in that cap," Elliott said. &nbsp;
While more announcements could be made, there are already many video games in the works of being adapted into films or shows, including "Death Stranding," which was announced as a new A24 movie after "Minecraft's" opening.
Up next for game adaptations is the April 25, 2025, release of the "Until Dawn" movie from Sony Group Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>), as reported by <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/upcoming-video-game-movies-and-tv-shows">IGN</a>. There are also sequels to "Mortal Kombat" and "Five Nights at Freddy's" scheduled for this year. In 2026, movies include "Street Fighter," and "The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2."
On the television side, "The Last of Us" has been a successful video game adaptation to TV for Warner Bros. Discovery with a second season recently premiering on HBO and Max. "Fallout" has also been a hit for Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), with a second season in the works and the first season leading to strong sales for the video game franchise.  
The success of the &#8220;Minecraft&#8221; movie could also be a positive for Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), which is working on<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/39096394/minecraft-series-coming-to-major-streaming-platform-microsofts-hit-game-thrives"> a series adaptation </a>of the hit game.
While many video game adaptations have been hits, not all of them work out. The 2024 "Borderlands" film grossed less than $20 million domestically and grossed $33 million worldwide.
Speculation about the hit Epic Games "Fortnite" battle royale game being turned into a movie was quickly downplayed by Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, as <a href="https://comicbookmovie.com/video-games/epic-games-ceo-refutes-rumors-of-fortnite-movie-following-a-minecraft-movie-success-a218548">reported </a>by ComicBookMovie.com. Sweeney tweeted "false" to a fan's post that "Fortnite" would be the next game adapted for the big screen and that some studios had already passed on the film rights. Sweeney did not clarify which part or, if both, were false.

Earnings Scheduled For February 19, 2025

Less than two weeks after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43494650/disney-q1-earnings-powered-by-moana-2-and-mufasa-theme-parks-loses-streaming-subscribers">reporting quarterly financials,</a> Walt Disney Company's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) stock is back in the spotlight with its latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film hitting theaters.
What Happened: "Captain America: Brave New World" grossed $100 million domestically and $92.4 million in international markets for a $192.4 million global tally during the President's Day holiday weekend, as reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/box-office/captain-america-brave-new-world-box-office-staying-power-marvel-cinematic-universe-1236310075/">Variety</a>.
The box office milestone adds excitement to the expanding slate of content <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/40021651/disneys-magical-marvel-weekend-robert-downey-jr-russo-brothers-steal-comic-con-spotlight-as">from the company</a>, but is nothing new for a Marvel Cinematic Universe film and neither is opening number one at the box office. 
The big question for Disney will be if the film has staying power and can start a streak of successful Marvel movies in 2025.
The film is the fourth in the Captain America series, while the character has also played a pivotal role in Avengers films. Here is the box office <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/">history </a>of the past Captain America movies.
<ul>
<li>"Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011): $65.1 million domestic opening, $176.7 million domestic, $370.6 million global</li>
<li>"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" (2014): $95.0 million domestic opening, $259.8 million domestic, $714.4 million global</li>
<li>"Captain America: Civil War" (2016): $179.1 million domestic opening, $408.1 million domestic, $1.16 billion global</li>
</ul>
&#8220;Brave New World" will likely rank second for domestic box office when it&#8217;s finished; "Civil War" acted more like an Avengers ensemble film and had a huge opening to kick things off.

Why It's Important: The latest Marvel film has a 50% critic <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/captain_america_brave_new_world">rating </a>on Rotten Tomatoes and an 80% audience score. On <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14513804/">IMDb</a>, the film has a 6.1 rating (out of 10). That&#8217;s among the lower ratings for a Marvel film.
Movie theater companies like AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) and Cinemark Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>) will be hoping, like Disney, that the film has staying power at the box office and sees a lower drop-off than normal for a Marvel film in its second weekend.
"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" opened with $118.4 million domestically in 2023 and saw a 47% drop in its second weekend, which was one of the smaller drops for superhero films in recent years. The film went on to gross $359 million domestically and $845.6 million globally.
The third Guardians film could also be comparable to the fourth Captain America thanks to both 2023 and 2025 having three Marvel movies on the release schedule.
Guardians was the second movie released by Disney in 2023 and went on to be the highest-grossing of the three. Here were the three films:
<ul>
<li>"Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania": $106.1 million domestic opening, $214.5 million domestic, $476.1 million global</li>
<li>"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3": $118.4 million domestic opening, $359.0 million domestic, $845.6 million global</li>
<li>"The Marvels": $46.1 million domestic opening, $84.5 million domestic, $206.1 million global</li>
</ul>
In total, the three films raked in $658.0 million in domestic box office revenue and $1.53 billion globally. The Guardians film enjoyed a stronghold in theaters. The Ant-Man sequel, however, saw a 70% drop in domestic box office in its second weekend with poor reviews. "The Marvels" went on to be Disney's biggest Marvel Cinematic Universe flop.
While other movie studios would be excited with those overall figures, it's important to remember that Disney varies the number of Marvel films released each year. Last year, the company had only one Marvel release: "Deadpool &amp; Wolverine." That film broke records and grossed $636.7 million domestically and $1.34 billion worldwide. It nearly eclipsed the total of the three films released in 2023 combined.
Disney, its shareholders and movie theater companies will be hoping Marvel has three blockbuster films in 2025. "Thunderbolts" and "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" will open on May 2 and July 25, respectively.
DIS Price Action: Disney stock is down 1% to $109.21 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $83.91 to $123.74. Disney stock is down 0.3% over the past year.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
