Starting this thread because I have a feeling it's going to be a smash hit. It's only the most popular game (behind Tetris?) ever. And most of our kids and grandkids had a spell where they played this game like crack addicts for a few years. And Jack Black is hilarious and looking to bring the same King Koopa energy to this one. My estimate is this does numbers and will have everyone forgetting about the fabricated Snow White controversies:

I'll end up seeing this at the theatre I'm sure. Opens 4/4, though I saw some theatres are doing 4/3.

My middle-schooler and his friends who play Minecraft for what seems like 15-20 hours a week all claim to hate the movie because of inaccuracies they noticed or it demeans Minecraft players or whatever. 

I didn't think about that. Purists hating it because it will be a caricature of what the serious Minecrafter will consider.

I thought it would be a fun movie to see with my kids.  But my 15-year old refuses to see it.  He says it "looks like what a GenXer thinks Gen Z ought to think is cool."

Ouch, man.

My 5th grade daughter says we're seeing this opening weekend no matter what.

Personally, I'm holding out for the Roblox movie. 

If there was ever going to be a $1B opening weekend, they should make a Dress to Impress movie.  Every girl age 6-13 will be there along with every gay guy and basement dwelling incel.

Bluey movie is a year or two off.  It’s going to be massive.

Reports from early viewings seem to be a mix of pleasant surprise and good. Which I guess shouldn't be surprising given how many YouTubers consulted on this film. Lots of Easter Eggs and fan service. Speaking of, I hear one is very thoughtful

Technoblade reference, IYKYK

I know it’s his thing but Jack Black is venturing into alarmingly overweight territory. I’ve been a big fan since the dawn of Tenacious D and I hope he takes care of himself.
