Based on the hugely popular video game, the film became a worldwide hit, earning nearly $1 billion at the box office with an estimated $957 million in global earnings.

The official logline of the movie read as, "Four misfits are pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld, a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they'll have to master this world while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter.
