After only just being released in theaters at the beginning of April 2025, A Minecraft Movie is already heading to streaming. And not only do we have a streaming date, but there’s also a linear release on HBO set.
This is clearly earlier than expected, as A Minecraft Movie wasn’t listed on the full listings of releases in June originally. However, Newsweek did previously predict the date. Sometimes, releases are added onto the platform as a surprise, and it makes sense that a major movie like this would get one of those sudden releases.
The HBO streaming platform will get A Minecraft Movie on Friday, June 20. Releases usually happen at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT, so we can expect that with this release.
It will be available to stream whenever you want after that. Of course, licensing agreements can be changed, but we don’t have any reason to suspect that it will leave anytime soon.
This is perfect for families, as it gives you a fun weekend with everyone. Grab the popcorn and throw on the movie as many times as you’d like with the kids.
On top of this, you’ll get to watch A Minecraft Movie on the HBO channel on Saturday, June 21. The movie will air at 8 p.m. ET on the channel.
At the same time, there will be an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreted version of the movie released on HBO Max, performed by Deaf ASL Interpreter Sophia Morales. She was the one to do the ASL interpretation of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
You and your kids have played Minecraft for years, and now it’s time to immerse yourself in the world in another way. Four misfits are pulled into the game world known as the Overworld. Creativity knows no bounds, as long as you build everything with blocks. If they want to get back home, they’ll need to master the world and deal with all the evil that it throws at them, including Piglins and Zombies.
The four are not alone, though. They will be joined by Steve, who will share all the wonderful abilities of this mythical world. He’ll also help them figure out the magical quest so that they can all get back home.
A Minecraft Movie is coming to HBO Max on Friday, June 20, and will air on HBO on Saturday, June 21 at 8 p.m. ET, making it a must for families looking for something new to stream this June!
