A live chicken caused a commotion at a screening of A Minecraft Movie when someone held it up during a fight scene. The person responsible was quickly kicked out of the theater. Meanwhile, police had to step in at other screenings across the country because of rowdy behavior, and some of those incidents ended with arrests.
The unusual chicken incident happened when a moviegoer decided to bring a real, live chicken into the theater. They showed it off during a big fight scene, and the moment was caught in a now-deleted TikTok video by a user named @laurenlundd, who seems to be the one behind the stunt. The video shows the chicken being held up as the audience watched, and the caption explains that the group got removed from the theater soon after. The chicken was alive and appeared to be okay, but the theater staff didn’t let the disruption slide.
This wasn’t just a one-off event. It ties into a bigger wave of wild behavior at screenings of A Minecraft Movie, especially during the “chicken jockey” scene. A viral TikTok trend has been pushing people to cheer loudly, toss popcorn, and act out during this part of the film. The trend has gotten out of hand, leaving theaters nationwide dealing with constant disruptions.
Things have gotten so chaotic that police have been called to several locations. For example, in Washington Township, New Jersey, a group of boys started vandalizing the theater during a screening. That led to a new rule requiring kids to come with an adult. Over in Wasilla, Alaska, police showed up after some rowdy teens reportedly body-slammed a theater worker, though that situation calmed down without anyone getting hauled off.
Most of the time, troublemakers are just told to leave, but there have been reports of arrests in some cases. This seems to happen when things get more serious, like vandalism or fights. Still, it’s hard to pin down exactly who got arrested or why, since the focus has been on calming things down rather than making a big deal out of charges.
All this chaos has sparked a debate about how people should act in theaters. Some think it’s just harmless fun, while others say it ruins the movie for everyone else. Cinemas have started putting out warnings to try to keep things under control, asking people to respect the space and the other moviegoers.
The chicken incident stood out as a bold move, but it didn’t lead to any legal trouble. The person involved, likely Lauren Lund, was simply kicked out along with their group. The chicken came out of it unharmed, making it more of a strange story than a serious crime.
