What is the Minecraft movie ‘Chicken Jockey’ trend? Georgia movie theater is a victim

A new trend called the "Chicken Jockey" trend has emerged among moviegoers in the U.S. and U.K. during screenings of "A Minecraft Movie." The Chicken Jockey is a character from Minecraft, depicted as a baby zombie riding a chicken, and is featured in a fight club scene in the film. When Jack Black's character exclaims "Chicken Jockey," audiences erupt in unison, leading to chaotic behavior such as standing, shouting, throwing popcorn and soda, shooting off fireworks, and dancing with live chickens. One notable instance of this trend occurred at The Springs Cinema & Taphouse in Sandy Springs, Georgia, where the theater shared footage of the aftermath on social media and contacted law enforcement due to the chaos. Theater employee Alexi Alvear described the cleanup as taking three hours. Director Jared Hass found the antics amusing and emphasized the joy audiences are experiencing. Jack Black humorously requested no throwing of popcorn during a surprise appearance. "A Minecraft Movie" currently holds a 46% rating from Rotten Tomatoes' critics and an 87% audience score, with a Metascore of 46 and an IMDb rating of 6 out of 10. The film has generated over 0 million against a production budget of 0 million. It is expected to stream on Max, with the earliest streaming date potentially around May 19, depending on box office performance. Pre-orders for digital copies are available on platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV.

How to uninstall the Android 16 beta

Android 16 is currently in beta testing, with Beta 3 achieving platform stability but still containing imperfections. Users with Google Pixel 6 or newer can join the Android Beta Program. To uninstall the Android 16 beta, users should back up their device as the process typically erases data. Three methods to uninstall include opting out of the beta program for an OTA update that reverts to the latest stable version, waiting for the stable version of the update being tested, or installing a stable version using the Android Flash Tool or ADB, which erases all data. To opt out, users must log into the Android Beta Program website, select their device, and follow the prompts to leave the beta. After opting out, users can revert to a stable version of Android 15 by installing an OTA update, which may take up to 24 hours to appear and will delete data if not backed up. Reasons to uninstall the beta include the presence of bugs and instability compared to the public version of Android.
