In an unexpected turn, the newly released "A Minecraft Movie," by Warner Bros. and Legendary, has ignited wild scenes among young audiences, leading theaters across the UK to issue stern warnings. One notable Cineworld location in Oxfordshire has explicitly stated that disruptive behavior, such as screaming or excessive noise, will not be tolerated, and offenders will be escorted out without a refund, according to a report by BBC News.
The film's screenings have turned into chaotic events, with viral videos showcasing audiences engaging in conduct that mirrors social media TikTok trends. Fans are reportedly encouraged to clap, shout, and even throw popcorn during exciting scenes, like Jack Black's iconic lines, “I am Steve!” and “chicken jockey!” However, theater management is stepping in to restore order.
Cineworld's notice emphasizes the importance of a respectful atmosphere, remarking, “Any form of anti-social behavior that may disturb other guests, such as loud screaming, clapping, and shouting, will not be tolerated.” This proactive stance reflects a broader trend observed in other cinemas as well, including a statement from England's REEL cinema, which noted, “Disruptive behavior, including TikTok trends, will result in removal from the venue.”
The Glasgow Times highlighted another Cineworld warning, reminding audiences to respect others by keeping noise levels down and refraining from using phones during screenings. Patrons risking disruption face ejection from the cinema.
Featuring an all-star cast, including Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, and Sebastian Hansen, "A Minecraft Movie" is a live-action adaptation inspired by the wildly popular video game by Mojang Studios. The film has achieved remarkable success at the box office, raking in an astounding $162 million during its domestic debut and amassing a total of $313 million globally, making it the highest-grossing video game movie opening of all time.
In a company-wide memo celebrating this achievement, Warner Bros. executives Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy remarked, "This is truly a world-class achievement! This is what happens when we believe in the power of our creativity and the strength of great storytelling."
As excitement continues to build, "A Minecraft Movie" is now screening in theaters, although patrons are now advised to keep the chaos offline to avoid getting kicked out. Will audiences adapt to the new rules, or are more disruptions on the horizon?
