After three days of release, "A Minecraft Movie" is already the second-highest grossing film of the year behind "Captain America: Brave New World."

Stranger things have happened in the world of promotion

EDIT: I don't understand the downvotes. Is this Amber Heard/Blake Lively hate, conspiracy theory hate, or something else? How am I coming across, what are you hearing?

Surely after two+ elections and a number of "wag the dog"-like situations you can't think such manipulation is dismissable? The Blake Lively case is well-documentated.

I'm genuinely confused. This strategy seems like a great idea, and rhe perfect way to build an audience for a bad, disappointing movie. I wouldn't be surprised if the Barbinheimer phenomenon was manufactured. Neither movie is as exciting as they seemed at the time.

A UK cinema has been forced to issue a warning after a TikTok trend saw screenings of A Minecraft Movieplagued by “disruptive behaviour”.

...

However, the movie, whose cultural impact is renowned, particularly among younger people, has sparked a flurry of disruption and chaos in cinemas across the world.

Footage captured across social media shows food and popcorn thrown across the audience, along with loud shouting, some swearing, and general raucousness including people jumping out of their seats. Dozens of young people and children are seen laughing with their phones out as they capture the disorder.

In one cinema in the US, police were called to quell the commotion, after viewers refused to calm down. It has prompted REEL cinema in the market town of Fareham to issue a warning.

“To ensure everyone has the best possible cinema experience, we're increasing our monitoring of screens during performances,” a spokesperson told the Daily Echo.

“Disruptive behaviour, including taking part in TikTok trends, before, during, or after a screening will not be tolerated.

“Anyone causing disruption will be asked to leave, and where necessary, the police will be called.”

It comes after Cineworld on Glasgow’s Renfrew Street was also forced to warn against disruptive behaviour on its premises.

...

In contrast, some cinema employees on TikTok have been urging viewers not to cause chaos in the screenings and refrain from making a mess.

“I’m a theatre employee: by throwing water, popcorn and all that onto people (which many have been doing) yall are making our jobs harder,” said one person.

“Theatre employee here. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just don’t be obnoxious I worked both opening days and it has been a living nightmare. Nothing wrong with cheering during big moments but don’t be swearing,” said another.
