Warner Bros.' kid-friendly movie shattered all expectations to score the top start ever for a video-adaptation, as well as rouse the beleaguered box office back to life.

With “Minecraft” accounting for around four-fifths of the overall business, the No. 2 film on this weekend’s charts was Amazon MGM’s “A Working Man” with $7.3 million in its second weekend, giving the $40 million action film a 10-day domestic total of $27.7 million.

Industry analysts had initially projected “A Minecraft Movie” would gross $60 million before adjusting that estimate to about $100 million.
