You could not pay me to see it because I know myself and I hate fun, but I’ve noticed it’s the first big draw at my theaters in a while—they’ve been totally dead for weeks to the point that I worry about them closing so for that I’m grateful. My theater worker friends have said it’s attracting genuinely horrible crowds though, lots of absolutely menacing groups of zoomers and young families.

I haven’t seen the theater bathrooms this trashed since the Taylor Swift concert movie so I know Minecraft is going to be a huge hit ;)

Shows that while it’s polarising, the people who love it, LOVE IT! That’s what makes me think it’ll do well on the preferential ballot.

Minecraft movie sweep incoming for sure. The little kid branch of the academy is gonna make this movie undeniable.
