Nah they're not why the minecraft movie is doing well.
It's doing well because of the fact that it is nostalgia baiting zoomers. Isn't it interesting that the movie came back when every other 20-something is rediscovering minecraft now? They could have made it in 2015, but that wasn't a profitable time to make it. It would have bombed if it came out 10 years ago
We're moving away from nostalgia baiting millennials (Disney remakes, mario movie) and gen x (stranger things, anything set in the 80s, et al). Now we're nostalgia baiting zoomers. With the success of the minecraft movie, expect to see an outpouring of slop movies with settings from 2008-2014.
