Classic independent reporting “the movie whose cultural impact is renowned”.
Is it? There’s no proof that the movie is having a renowned cultural impact above any others and the link on their own site for that quote is talking, not about the movie, but Minecraft as a whole.

Yeah, it is a financial success, but so was the emoji movie… Not sure that qualifies it as “culturally renowned”.
Conflating those ideas that money equals cultural impact is what leads us to an endless cycle of sequels and reboots that most people watch once and then forget.

I have to imagine that’s a poorly written sentence meant to not how renowned the Minecraft franchise/game is, not necessarily the movie yet.

It is. And in the Independent newspaper which has editors that should have spotted a clanger like that.
