Have you heard about the new Minecraft movie? The teens have — and they're involving themselves in screenings of the movie at the theater a la The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

According to IGN, teens attending screenings of A Minecraft Movie screamed "CHICKEN JOCKEY!" along with Jack Black's character, Steve, threw their popcorn around, and, in some theaters, police were even called. You can't actually spend much time on TikTok without being bombarded with proof.

X is also full of reactions — although most posts are admitting to the complete shock they experienced upon seeing all the pandemonium, the disappointment in the actual quality of the film, and, well, our ages.
