“A Minecraft Movie” is smashing all box office projections. According to studio estimates Sunday, the video game adaptation earned $157 million domestically and $144 million internationally for a $301 million global debut. It's the biggest of the year and broke the record for a video game adaptation previously held by “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.” “A Minecraft Movie” nearly doubled expectations and also helped narrow the year-to-date deficit compared with last year's box office performance. Industry performance is now down 5% compared with a year ago at this time. It had been down 13%. Second place in theaters this week went to “A Working Man,” followed by “The Chosen: Last Supper—Part 2” and “Snow White.”
