Something interesting to analyze is whether the good numbers of “Minions: The Rise of Gru” – box office record for a film released on July 4 in the USA – are due above all to the viral bombing of the #Gentleminions on TikTok pic.twitter.com/HzxIvbTLG0

Some might think that this measure is somewhat extreme, however, its rationale is focused on the safety and profitability of cinemas. Worcester Vue Cinemaanother famous cinema in the United Kingdom, informed local media that the spectators who came to the establishment asked for a refund of their money due to said disturbances. This has cost more than a thousand pounds, an approximate of $24 thousand Mexican pesos.
And although currently, cinemas with a presence in Mexico have not expressed themselves in this regard, it seems that this responds to the fact that the trend here has not been as strong. However, as happened with the premiere of Disney’s Lightyear, some theaters could take their “licenses” and surprise viewers, in order to prevent riots and economic losses.
