00:00A Minecraft movie is throwing some movie theaters into utter chaos.
00:06A TikTok-fueled viral trend is encouraging moviegoers to trash the theater during screenings
00:12of the film. Videos have captured audiences throwing food and drink and trashing auditoriums.
00:17In one video, somebody was kicked out for holding up a live chicken. Some theaters are issuing
00:22warnings, including pre-show announcements, and that if the situation escalates, local authorities
00:27could be called. Meanwhile, employees are getting pushed to their limits. All of us cannot wait for
00:31this movie to be gone. A Minecraft movie follows four misfits who are pulled through a portal into
00:36a cubic world and must embark on a quest back to the real world. At one point, a baby zombie falls
00:42onto the back of a chicken, making a chicken jockey, an extremely rare occurrence in the game, which
00:48prompts fans to erupt with excitement and surprise. Similar to Say When, Captain America successfully
00:54caught Thor's hammer in Avengers Endgame. It seems that once videos of chicken jockey eruptions
00:59started going viral on TikTok over the weekend, the trend spread, particularly among teenage boys.
01:05As for the theater chains themselves, most will likely keep their silence. Sources say they've
01:10learned from past experience that issuing warnings can backfire and prompt more bad behavior. The film
01:16has grossed more than $185 million domestically and $380 million globally in just six days,
01:23wildly outperforming expectations, and even outpacing 2023's video game adaptation,
01:29the Super Mario Bros. movie.
