Jack Black Asks ‘Minecraft’ Audiences to Not Throw Popcorn During Surprise Appearance at L.A. Theater
Keep your popcorn to yourself.
That was Jack Black’s instruction to moviegoers attending a screening of A Minecraft Movie over the April 11-13 weekend at AMC Century City in L.A. following days of headlines about young moviegoers engaging in rowdy behavior and hurling handfuls of popcorn into the crowd when Black’s character exclaims, “chicken jockey!”

Throughout the movie’s opening weekend a week earlier, viral videos captured audiences going wild, throwing food and drinks, and trashing auditoriums. In one video, somebody was even kicked out...
