Minecraft Movie Smashes Expectations to Challenge Avatar in Highest Grossing Race

Just weeks after its release, A Minecraft Movie has torn up the betting market for the Top Grossing Film of the Year with odds slashed from 20/1 to just 2/1 at Paddy Power.

As reported in our previous update, Minecraft's strong opening weekend hinted at sleeper blockbuster potential. 

Now, with international audiences flocking to cinemas and sustained momentum in key markets, it's shaping up as a genuine challenger to Avatar: Fire and Ash.

UK Betting Sites have kept the latest Avatar release as the odds on favourite at 4/9 with the full market still available.

What the expert says...
Minecraft’s odds crashing from 20/1 to 2/1 shows just how fast the box office narrative can change. Avatar remains the powerhouse, but Minecraft’s cross-generational appeal and word-of-mouth strength make it a serious contender now.

Avatar Still Favourite, But Minecraft Momentum is Real

Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third instalment in James Cameron’s sci-fi saga, opened as the heavy 4/9 favourite and remains firmly odds-on. 

Given the franchise’s proven international pull and box office pedigree, it’s little surprise bookmakers still see it topping the charts by the end of the year.

However, Minecraft’s momentum cannot be ignored with the movie already proven to be far more than just a niche gamer hit.

Meanwhile, Ne Zha 2 sits alongside Minecraft at 2/1, fuelled by huge Box Office numbers in China where it has made over $1.8 billion.

Other Contenders: Can Disney or Dinosaurs Mount a Charge?

Further back, Zootopia 2 (6/1) and Wicked: For Good (7/1) remain popular family film contenders. 

Disney sequels traditionally perform well over holiday periods and the Wicked sequel will look to tap into Broadway nostalgia globally for the second year running.

Jurassic World: Rebirth, the next chapter of the dinosaur franchise, is also rated a 7/1 shot, however early buzz has been more cautious compared to previous Jurassic instalments.
