Why cops are being called to Minecraft Movie screenings

#minecraft #gaming #entertainment

"A Minecraft Movie" has achieved a record-breaking box office feat despite receiving disastrous reviews. The star-studded film, featuring Jason Momoa, Jack Black, and Jennifer Coolidge, grossed $301 million globally in its opening weekend, setting a new record for the highest opening weekend for a video game adaptation. The movie follows the adventure of four misfits trapped in the Minecraft Overworld, embarking on creative challenges to find their way home.

In an unexpected twist, a disturbance during a showing in Seaford, New York, led to police intervention. Video footage shows the crowd reacting energetically to a scene involving a "chicken jockey," resulting in police escorting several young people and children out of the theater. The Nassau County Police Department confirmed no arrests were made.

Despite harsh criticism, Warner Bros. celebrates the film's success, marking it as one of the most successful releases of 2025.

I’m glad I didn’t go see this disaster. After seeing videos online of kids screaming in theaters Chicken Jockey and throwing popcorn everywhere. Apparently many police were called which is just down right disgusting movie theater etiquette. We can laugh at jokes and have a good time, but that’s crossing the line. Throwing popcorn everywhere, screaming is not acceptable behavior. This is the reason why people don’t like going to see movies at theaters anymore because it’s people like this that ruin the experience.

If that’s how they act in a Minecraft movie, imagine how they would act during a movie about Fortnite

[BroCamBroDraws]

Before the movie started for me someone came in saying "hey guys welcome to a minecraft movie please be respectful and no throwing things thank you and enjoy a minecraft movie"

[kimxgamer]

You know what the cinema should do? Make those idiots clean up after the mess. That will teach em.

[JamesHContent]

Judge: “Sir, why have you been arrested?”
Me: “Because of Chicken Jockey.”

[CRTLALTBACKSPACE]

There was even an incident where fans body slammed an employee of a theater.

Thank god my theater wasn’t like that. On the premiere date, we’ve seen the movie on IMAX, and we only applauded when Jack Black said the funny lines + the technoblade cameo

[BlackCatFilmProductions]

Last weekend my niece and nephew attend this movie Minecraft and behave themselves well. We also watch it again together this weekend here and I haven't seen any distracting disruptions in the movie by fans.

[Maddy-it]

If you were wondering, the place where cops were called was in Long Island

[GAProductions]

People can be arrested until 2035 for doing this

[MikeCee]

I don’t understand, this was perfectly allowed 50 years ago when the Rocky horror movie came out. it happened every weekend night for many years.

[TheLegendaryMovieCritic]

These teens watching A Minecraft Movie are on their worst behavior trashing theaters with food & drinks! It makes it harder for the workers to clean!

“despite receiving less than favorable reviews”
**casually shows 88% score**

[doshi]

I saw a video talk about this and 1 lady actually defended these actions and said its part of the theater experience 🤦‍♂️

[king_ejrepost]

Imagine it a movie based on Clash of Clans

[airycanon]

resisted the urge to atleast clap during the chicken jockey bit tbh. i feel like clapping and cheering is acceptable and MAYBE standing up but full on food throwing is just like???

[Mooficail]

Why are they freaking out over a chicken jockey?

[Angelite-cos]

I work at a movie theater, we had 2 collectable tubs, the 3rd tub wasn’t at our location. We sold out less than 2 days. Started selling on the 4th and when I got to work at 1:45 pm they already sold out. I didn’t work on the 4th.

I did get to see the tubs in the storage room before it went on sale, I didn’t get to buy one.

[ToxicCookieOfficial]

my theater chuckled a little only when chicken jockey was on screen. tbh it's not even funny.

[KILRtv]

They've never heard of Rocky Horror Picture Show, which has been doing this since the 70s.
