“A Minecraft Movie” is barreling toward the $1 billion mark with global ticket sales at $720 million after three weekends of release. The Warner Bros. PG blockbuster, starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa, added another $59 million internationally and a massive $100 million globally over the Easter holiday weekend.
