Minecraft Movie Sparks Viral Theater Chaos

The release of 'A Minecraft Movie,' featuring Jack Black, has stirred both excitement and controversy, with screenings becoming chaotic due to the viral 'chicken jockey' trend. Moviegoers have reacted exuberantly, throwing popcorn and engaging in rowdy behavior, likened to the interactive screenings of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show.' Jack Black made surprise appearances at screenings to humorously urge audiences to refrain from such antics. The film, despite receiving mixed reviews, has become a box office hit, grossing over $552 million globally. Director Jared Hess finds the fan reactions entertaining, comparing the phenomenon to a cultural event. Some theaters have taken measures to control the chaos, such as banning unaccompanied minors or introducing special screenings where such behavior is encouraged.
