‘Chicken Jockey!’ Craze from Minecraft Movie Goes Viral, Causes Chaos in Theatres

A single Jack Black line from Minecraft: The Movie has sparked a wild audience trend, leading to police intervention in one cinema amid booming box office success.

April 12, 2025: The Minecraft movie isn’t just dominating the box office—it’s also taking over theatre halls with an unexpected and hilarious phenomenon: the “Chicken Jockey!” trend. What began as a quirky in-game reference has now gone full viral, disrupting screenings across the country.

🐔 What Is ‘Chicken Jockey’?

In one standout scene from the film, Jack Black’s character Steve yells “Chicken jockey!” as a tiny yet ferocious Minecraft chicken, ridden by another character, bursts into a boxing ring. The moment—designed as a humorous nod to the original game—instantly became a fan-favorite.

Now, audiences (especially younger viewers) are chanting the phrase in unison every time the scene plays—sometimes before it even arrives—turning traditional movie-going into a mini fan-rally.

🚨 Theatre Disruption & Police Intervention

The viral craze reached an unexpected high when a cinema screening was so rowdy that the police had to be called in. A group of overexcited moviegoers reportedly wouldn’t stop shouting and disrupting the screening. Officers were seen escorting a few viewers out of the theatre, drawing cheers from the rest of the audience, as shown in now-viral TikTok clips.

💰 Box Office Boom

Despite (or maybe because of) the chaos, Minecraft: The Movie continues to perform exceptionally well. The film is projected to rake in over $140 million domestically during its opening weekend and an additional $100+ million internationally, cementing its place as one of 2025’s biggest releases.
