The Minecraft Movie is making waves in the Hollywood film industry. While it has brought audiences back to theaters in large numbers, many cinema halls have taken strict action against disruptive behavior. This warning follows a social media trend, especially on TikTok.

After the release of one of the year’s most anticipated films, audiences have been sharing clips online. In these videos, young fans can be seen cheering and applauding a specific line that references the 2011 video game.

During the scene in question, Jack Black's character, Steve, says "chicken jockey" while facing a baby zombie riding a chicken alongside Jason Momoa. Several TikTok clips show the audience screaming, throwing popcorn in the air, and giving standing ovations.

One such video then cuts to a scene where children are being escorted out by two police officers.

Following several such incidents since the release of the fantasy movie, REEL Cinema in Fareham, England, told Daily Echo, as reported by The Independent, “To ensure everyone has the best possible cinema experience, we're increasing our monitoring of screens during performances.”
