by

If you’ve been yearning to shout out “chicken jockey” at full volume, here’s some good news for you! One cinema is arranging a unique showing of a Minecraft film, giving enthusiasts the opportunity to let loose (within reason)!

Given the immense popularity of Minecraft as the most renowned video game ever created, one would naturally anticipate that its movie adaptation would be a smashing success. However, what transpired was quite unexpected – it morphed into a viral, semi-ironic sensation. In cinemas, audiences can be seen echoing lines spoken by Jack Black and erupting into cheers.

It’s become quite unmanageable; one cinema even felt compelled to issue a warning concerning the “chicken jockey” sequence, while another had no choice but to summon the authorities following an audience uproar that resulted in chaos with popcorn and soft drinks being thrown around.

Now, a cinema is trying to capitalize on the trend with a special one-day event.

A Minecraft Movie is getting a special chicken jockey screening

UK-based movie theater chain, Cineworld, has unveiled a special screening event for “A Minecraft Movie” they’re calling “chicken jockey screenings.” These events will take place on Sunday, April 18th. If you’re interested in attending and haven’t purchased tickets yet, you should act quickly!

🏚️ Minecraft enthusiasts! 🎉🧱 Are you yearning for a movie experience that embraces clapping, cheering, and chanting “I AM STEVE”?

Come join our thrilling Chicken Jockey 4DX screenings of #AMinecraftMovie on April 13.

Let the excitement flow, but remember to keep it friendly. No tossing items, no creating chaos, and no capturing footage of the screen!…

The site announces that visitors are encouraged to don costumes representing their favorite Minecraft characters, cheer loudly with cheers such as “whoop,” “yelp,” or “clap,” and enthusiastically shout out “Chicken Jockey.

While there’s plenty of room for excitement and laughter among friends, it’s crucial to remember that certain boundaries must be respected, especially within the auditorium. So let’s keep things lively but appropriate!

As a movie enthusiast, I’d encourage you to depart from the theater with an orderly, solid structure in place – no chaos left behind as if a horde of Endermen had paid a visit. Let’s keep it tidy and fun for everyone. And don’t forget, immerse yourself fully in the experience, with 4DX!

Additionally, following a notice from a local Cineworld cinema in Witney, patrons have been warned about conduct during Minecraft screenings. In their statement, it was made clear that any disruptive behavior, particularly actions that might disturb fellow viewers like excessive shouting, cheering, or clapping, will not be allowed.

If anyone behaves like this, they’ll be excluded from the evaluation process and won’t receive a refund.

Here’s a more conversational way of expressing the same information: If you’re in the US and planning to catch a Minecraft movie screening, remember that Cineworld is actually part of Regal Cinemas. So, make sure to check your local Regal theater for any special screenings they might be hosting.
