If you loved the viral moments from the movie—whether it’s shouting “I am Steve” or yelling “chicken jockey”—now’s your chance to dive back into the Overworld with full audience participation.
Fans attending these special screenings can join in by singing along with the movie’s most iconic scenes or meme-ing their favorite moments. As Warner Bros. puts it, “A Minecraft Movie: Block Party Edition! is made for those who yearn for the mines,” giving fans a chance to celebrate and relive the experience in an immersive and interactive setting.
A Record-Breaking Opening and Viral Moments
The Minecraft movie made a massive impact when it first premiered, grossing $313 million globally and marking the highest debut for any video game movie adaptation. Starring Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, and Sebastian Hansen, the film brought the beloved Minecraft game from Mojang Studios to life on the big screen.
In the months following its release, the movie inspired a viral trend among young moviegoers. Fans began to scream, throw popcorn, and cheer at pivotal moments, such as when Jack Black’s character declares, “I am Steve,” or during the iconic “chicken jockey” scene. This wave of excitement led to a mix of laughter and some chaotic behavior, with theaters even issuing warnings and, in some cases, involving the police.
Director Jess Hess shared his thoughts on these unexpected reactions, saying, “It’s funny because I think it’s just literally cheering and throwing popcorn, which is so funny to me that cops are getting called for popcorn. Yeah, it’s hilarious. I’ve seen so many funny videos. It’s great, especially when people are climbing on their friends’ shoulders and standing up and cheering for those moments. It’s like this crazy anticipation. But, man, I’m just glad people are making memories with their friends and families.”
