I saw Minecraft in the theater with my kids last night and am still processing what I saw. The only cinematic experience I can compare the audience participation to is Rocky Horror, except it’s with teenagers and their phones and the movie is not even a weekend old.

How it spread

Trace the origin

The preview-night X post complained that nobody cheered. Opening-day TikToks showed crowds erupting; police and a live chicken followed. The film opened to $162.8 million domestically. Warner Bros. then sold sing-along and meme-along screenings.
