Minecraft’s fierce reactions force theaters to take action

Just when you thought 163 million dollars opening over the weekend for Minecraft Movie was the biggest surprise over the weekend, it turns out that it could be the movie that forces theaters to do their jobS

Over the weekend, A few videos have become viral The audience is strongly and devastatingly responding to the movie a few moments, everyone while shooting it on their phones. In one case, the police even had to be called. However, the Internet loves a good viral trend and as more and more people are trying to copy and participate in such behavior, some theaters have begun to issue warnings around Minecraft screenings.

“To ensure that everyone has the best possible cinema experience, we increase the monitoring of screens during performances,” said Reel cinema spokesman in Farham, England told The EchoS “Destructive behavior, including participation in Tiktok’s trends, before, during or after screening will not be tolerated. Anyone who causes a break will be asked to leave and where necessary, the police will be called.”

Several others followed the costume. “We were informed of online trend reports that involves exposure to excessive noise during Minecraft Movie,“Theater in Glasgow published ScotlandS “We would like to remind everyone to be considered the people around them, making no noise, nor are they on their phones during each movie. The failure to do this can lead to throwing out of the cinema.”

We have many, many thoughts here, as we are sure that you do it too. The first is that the theaters are actually angry with it is refreshing. So often nowadays, people do not respect their fellow filmmakers in the cinema, using their phones during the movie or talk loudly. Then, if you complain, often the theater will do nothing. So, see every push back against it is a good thing. Especially in the fight against privacy. Do you remember when shooting the movie screen was considered sacred?

On the other hand, it is more than plausible to say success in Minecraft It is partly the result of this behavior. That some people will see Minecraft In particular, for this strong, debauchery, managed by Tiktok, and if it puts them in the theaters, this is a net positive for the industry. But there must be a balance. If a family just wants to go to see MinecraftThey should not worry about people out of their phones and disturb their experience. Maybe there should be specific projections where this is encouraged as a Wicked Singalong?

Which is actually already happening. BBC reports This United Kingdom theater chain is already jumping on this train. “To make sure they all have a blast, we ask all cinema macosis to respect the cinema label,” the message said. “For fans who want to encounter, twist and clap through this block -loading adventure, we have created special 4Dx screenings of chicken jockey in cineworld cinemas across the country.”

Regardless of that, it remains to be seen whether more theaters will issue such warnings or how/whether they will be implemented. Imagine that most theaters will be different from the audience and are just glad to have asses in places, no matter what they do. However, this is a slippery slope and the one that needs to be monitored.
