The cinemas have warned the public members that they will be ejected if they join a Tiktok trend encouraging moviegoers to disturb the projections of the successful film Minecraft.
Images have emerged on applauding public social networks, launching popcorn and shouting during the film, especially during a scene where one of the stars of the film, Jack Black, calls “Chicken Jockey!” When a zombie baby riding a chicken.
The trend of “chicken jockey” has become viral on Tiktok and led to a number of cinemas around the world by taking measures to deal with a disruptive behavior during projections of the adaptation of the video game.
A number of cinemas in the United Kingdom, including Cineworld in Witney, the Radway in Sidmouth and the coil in Fareham, have displayed opinions warning public members against projection disturbance, while Regent cinema in Newtown, in Wales Pays, said that it would adopt a “approach to zero tolerance”.
Witney Cineworld said that offenders would be ejected: “Any form of anti -social behavior, in particular everything that could disturb other guests such as cries, applause and cries will not be tolerated. Anyone who acts in this way will be removed from screening and will not be titled. The Radway has published a similar warning on its social media page, saying: “Anyone found participating in the current trend of social media involving a Minecraft film will be deleted from cinema. We want our customers to benefit from the experience for which they paid.”
In the United States, Washington’s Township Theater, New Jersey, prohibited unaccompanied minors from attending the film’s screenings after what he called an “unhappy situation” on April 4. In an article on social networks, he said: “The large groups of unopensed boys have engaged in completely unacceptable behavior, including vandalism … going forward: all minors wishing to see the film Minecraft must be accompanied by a parent or a responsible adult. Unaccompanied boys’ groups will not be admitted.”
This added: “If your son was at the Township Theater last night, we strongly encourage you to have a conversation with him on his behavior.”
A Minecraft film had an unexpected success at the box office, marking the highest opening weekend for an adaptation of video games in North America and amassing about $ 314 million around the world. Despite the initial reserves among the lovers of Minecraft Hardcore after an unpublished initial trailer, the film benefited from a huge enthusiasm from the younger public.
