CINEMA chiefs are pleading with rowdy kids not to run riot while watching A Minecraft Movie — after footage of disruptive stunts went viral.
Clips show groups of teens collectively tossing drinks and popcorn in the air as they leap on their seats.
The trend — which has gone global — happens during the “Chicken Jockey”; scene of the PG-rated starring and Jason Momoa.
It involves the heroes being in a ring fight with a baby zombie riding a chicken — a rare enemy in the original computer game.
As it starts, some young viewers chant “Chicken Jockey”; in sync with the film’s main character Steve, played by Black.
But others have gone further — lobbing their drinks or buckets of popcorn at the screen.
In one clip, appear to throw buckets of water over the audience as the scene plays.
The craze started in the US, where had to storm one cinema after a group of youths “body-slammed”; an employee trying to calm them.
Some theatres have now banned unaccompanied children.
It has spread here, with Reel Cinema in Fareham, Hants, putting up a warning.
It says: “Disruptive behaviour, including taking part in will not be tolerated . . . where necessary, the police will be called.”;
The film has been widely , but made £230million globally at the weekend.
