The viral TikTok trend GentleMinions is sending suit-wearing teens to the theaters for 'Minions: The Rise of Gru,' boosting box office success.
A bizarre TikTok trend finds teenage boys flocking to screenings of the animated sequel Minions: The Rise of Gru draped in formal suits. Several viral TikToks depict 100s of teenagers congregating at the movie theater and riding the escalator en route to their screening of the zany film featuring the infamous little yellow henchmen. There is also footage of the teens, mostly boys, sitting in an eerily similar fashion before bursting into applause when the film ends.
Several movie theaters do not find the humor in the latest TikTok trend and are turning to Twitter to express their outrage. The Regal Wadebridge, a small theater in the UK, made its feelings known in a tweet that read "Customer Notice: We are currently not admitting unaccompanied children wearing suits for ‘Minions: The Rise Of Gru’ This is due to the issues we have encountered over the last two days and its associated behaviour. Thank you.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The Regal Wadebridge is not the only theater that is fed up with the youth, with several other theaters also saying they will not sell tickets to large groups of young people in suits. Other theaters are also refusing entry to anyone in formal attire wishing to see the film, referring to the trend as #GentleMinions.
The world may never know why teens have decided to dress in suits to see Minions: The Rise of Gru, but it seems that Gen Z will do anything for the meme. It could also be because the youth of today have had a hard past few years and any excuse to dress up and have fun is absolutely worth it. Whatever the reason for this TikTok trend is, it's definitely helping out the movie industry by boosting box office numbers big time.
