Movie theaters are responding to disruptive behavior during screenings of 'A Minecraft Movie' caused by a trend dubbed 'chicken jockey.' This trend involves young moviegoers engaging in chaotic and distracting actions during the film.
One theater in New Jersey has implemented a new policy requiring children to be accompanied by an adult to see the movie. The theater cited an "unfortunate situation" as the reason for the change, suggesting the disruptive behavior significantly impacted the viewing experience for other patrons.
It's unclear if other theaters will adopt similar policies, but the incident highlights the challenges of managing audience behavior, especially during screenings popular with younger audiences. Theaters are likely hoping that increased supervision will curb the 'chicken jockey' trend and ensure a more enjoyable experience for all moviegoers.
