Jason Momoa and Jack Black star A Minecraft movie has seized the box office by storm.
However, this great madness has sparked some discussion.
According to reports, a moment in the film involving a chicken jockey elicited heated reactions from spectators seeing it in theaters.
The spectacle elicited outbursts of laughing, applauding, and cheering. Some moviegoers even flung popcorn while viewing the film in theaters, prompting the cops to intervene and contain the scene.
Some cinemas attempted to outlaw this type of behavior, labeling it as impolite and disruptive.
Jarred Hess, the director, has now responded to the issue, defending the audience's reaction.
Hess says he is having a great time watching new videos from movie theaters every day.
In an interview with the New York Times, he said, "Just the fact that people are making memories at the movies - that's what it's all about."
Jarred stated that he never expected the degree of enthusiasm and intensity from the audience.
"No one is going to get hurt from popcorn," he stated.
To justify the scenario, the 45-year-old filmmaker stated, "Look, when I go to the movies with my kids, it's like a popcorn massacre that happens, and they're not throwing anything, but it ends up on the ground regardless."
A Minecraft Movie has surpassed Super Mario Bros. Movie to become the highest-grossing film based on a video game.
