Even though I’m a movie critic myself, my support, or lack of it in this case,  doesn’t mean a damn when it comes to choosing a family flick that might hit the sweet spot for the young-uns. You call tell they really really love  “A Minecraft Movie” just from the box-office numbers. As of right now, this anything-for-a-laugh machine, with star  Jack Black linking up with cube-shaped figures from the bestselling video game, has grossed $930 million worldwide. This figure includes domestic earnings of $416.72 million and international earnings of $512.80 million.
