The Jason Momoa and Jack Black-led movie A Minecraft Movie has become the third-biggest opening of all time for Warner Bros., with fans getting rowdy in theaters due to a viral scene. The film follows a group of friends who must learn the inner workings of the world in a cubic wonderland.
A 46-second clip showing audiences’ lively reaction at a screening of A Minecraft Movie has gone viral, featuring kids jumping out of their seats and throwing popcorn as Jack Black’s character says “Chicken jockey.” This phrase refers to child zombies that ride chickens in the popular video game Minecraft.
The scene has taken on a life of its own, with fans on social media like TikTok continuing to flock to theaters to witness the pandemonium. The movie has been credited with putting “moviegoing back on track,” with its biggest opening for a video game feature ever.
Some theater owners are cautioning audiences against disruptive behavior at screenings, but others have come to the defense of young fans supposedly wreaking havoc. The film appears to be a joyous experience for members of the Minecraft fandom, with many embracing the excitement and energy of the moviegoers.
