Public reactions to the scene of a baby zombie riding a chicken in the Minecraft Movie known as Chicken Jockey have caused cinemas to go wild. Jack Black shouts "Chicken Jockey!" as his character Steve in a scene of the film.
Audiences reached a state of frenzy when they watched this boxing match at the screenings, thus creating popcorn-tossing pandemonium that mirrors the cult film The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
The release of TikTok videos showing audience participation during screenings resulted in theatre screenings completely selling out, including Adelaide's Odeon Star Cinema, which hosted fans dressed for interactive activities. Not every reaction to this experience has been positively received. Theatres have faced destructive vandalism and unpleasant behaviors that forced Cineworld in Witney, England, to impose regulations that allow them to remove guests causing disturbances without refunds.
The film has received different ratings from critics yet managed to become a financial success by earning more than $301 million during its first weekend worldwide. Audience participation in The Lion King has created a public dialogue about how movie-going behavior changes with social trends in viewer behavior.
Some viewers enjoy the interactive movie screenings as they believe this represents innovative entertainment, yet various people worry about interruptions affecting movie-going standards.
