Fans across the UAE can now enter Creative Mode along with the film's release with a new limited-time meal, Spicy Big Tasty, Spicy Magma sauce, exclusive McFlurry®, Happy Meal® toys, and collectibles with epic in-game exclusives and add-ons
From crafting pixel-perfect replicas of our iconic Golden Arches and world-famous menu items to stacking block upon block into full-on restaurants, fans have been building their love for McDonald's in Minecraft for years. Inspired by their imagination and the legendary Minecraft universe, McDonald's UAE is bringing an exclusive new experience with the launch of A Minecraft Movie Meal, Spicy Big Tasty, Spicy Magma sauce, exclusive McFlurry®, Happy Meal® toys, and collectibles with epic in-game exclusives and new product packaging inspired by the movie, all available now.
"Minecraft has captivated millions around the world, fostering a culture of creativity, exploration, and limitless possibilities. As excitement builds for the release of A Minecraft Movie, we're thrilled to bring a unique way to celebrate this iconic universe," said Walid Fakih, CEO at McDonald's UAE.
He added, "From Spicy Magma Sauce to exclusive in-game rewards, this collaboration celebrates the passion and creativity of the Minecraft community. We're always looking for ways to create engaging experiences that resonate with our customers, and we look forward to welcoming fans to McDonald's UAE for this exciting experience."
Build Your World, And Your Meal
Fans can enjoy A Minecraft Movie Meal exclusively available on the McDonald's App, by choosing one hero main: either the Big Mac®, 9pcs Chicken McNuggets®, or other options - accompanied by medium fries and drink. And now, for the most exciting part, the A Minecraft Movie Meal includes one of six collectibles inspired by McDonald's most beloved characters and menu items, and popular Minecraft treasures. Elevate your mining sessions with a Big Mac® Crystal, Birdie Wings, Fry Helmet, Grimace Egg, Soda Potion or Zombie Hamburglar – and collect them all to stock up your inventory. Each collectible comes with a matching card and a code that fans can scan to unlock the exclusive skin in the Minecraft Marketplace.
Big Mac Crystal - Mined from the sea of special sauce, this precious block derives its radiant shine from melty cheese and a toasty sesame seed bun.
Birdie Wings - Keep your eye to the sky or you might miss the early bird soaring high above the clouds with a rare pair of elytra wings.
Fry Helmet - Forged from the iconic French Fry box, this enchanted helmet is rumored to protect you from friends stealing your last Fry.
Grimace Egg - Emerging from the depths of a purple shake, this magical Grimace mob gets its shape from the most coveted egg of them all.
Soda Potion - The electrifying effect of this potion is as mysterious as its recipe: an accidental combo of fantastic fizzy flavors.
Zombie Hamburglar - Little is known about this hungry mob who spawns late at night and wanders all biomes in search of hamburgers.
For an extra kick, pair your meal with the limited-edition Spicy Magma Sauce which boasts a powerful blend of crushed red pepper and cayenne peppers, all balanced with savory garlic and a hint of sweetness. The sauce has also been added to the widely loved Big Tasty, introducing the limited-edition Spicy Big Tasty, available at all McDonald's UAE restaurants and on the McDonald's app.
And to cool off, treat yourself to A Minecraft Movie McFlurry®, made with brownies and popping candy, available at all McDonald's UAE restaurants and on the McDonald's app.
Families and the youngest fans can join in on the fun too with A Minecraft Movie Happy Meal. Each order comes with one of 8, film-inspired Blockhead or Block World toys. Every Happy Meal also comes with a scannable code to unlock an exclusive digital game where players can complete their very own quest in the A Minecraft Movie world on www.happymeal.com.
There will be 8 unique toys available, including:
Families can also replace the Happy Meal toy with an exclusive Happy Meal Reader A Minecraft Movie adventures book that will take young readers on a journey across Minecraft Overworld to discover friendly mobs and complete awesome activities.
Order your A Minecraft Movie Meal now, which includes collectibles exclusively on the McDonald's App. You can also enjoy the exclusive Minecraft Movie McFlurry®, Spicy Big Tasty, Spicy Magma Sauce, and Happy Meal at all McDonald's UAE restaurants or through the McDonald's app to embark on a legendary Minecraft Movie adventure - available for a limited time, while supplies last.

Charlie Coleman joins Amazon MGM Studios as Head of International Marketing

He'll report to Sue Kroll, and work closely with distribution and the studio's Head of Film Marketing, Stephen Bruno. Amazon MGM Studios has appointed veteran executive Charlie Coleman as its new head of international theatrical marketing, signalling the studio's growing ambitions to become a global distribution powerhouse. The announcement was made in an internal note from Sue Kroll, Amazon MGM's head of global marketing for film and series, underlining the significance of the move as the company builds out its international infrastructure to support a rapidly growing film slate. Coleman, who officially begins his new role on August 18, will report directly to Kroll and will be based in London. He joins Amazon MGM from Warner Bros., where he played a pivotal role in launching several high-profile international marketing campaigns for blockbuster hits including Dune, Barbie, Elvis, The Batman and the upcoming Minecraft movie. His experience spans two major studios, having also held previous roles at Disney in both London and Los Angeles. As Amazon MGM seeks to establish a fully independent global distribution pipeline, allowing it to release films internationally without relying on third-party studios, Coleman will be instrumental in steering international marketing strategies. The expansion moves the studio closer to joining the ranks of Hollywood's top players, including Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal and Warner Bros. Kroll praised Coleman's creativity, strategic vision and collaborative leadership style in her announcement. She emphasised that his appointment is a critical step in strengthening Amazon MGM's global marketing operations and that his leadership will complement the strong foundation already laid by the studio's marketing and distribution teams.
