The TikTok trend, "Gentleminions", see groups of teenagers dress in their smartest suits to see "Minions: Rise of Gru", and posting their best impressions of the character.

The trend can however become a problem as the teens tend to should and scream in encouragement as they see more and more people taking part in the trend, walking into the cinemas.

According to femalefirst, a manager from a Worcester branch of Vue, a movie theatre, told the Telegraph newspaper: “The trend cost me £1,300 (R26 000) yesterday. I had to refund all of the tickets in that theatre because of kids shouting and mimicking the Minions while the film was playing.

“It was a group of about eight kids. Now, when we see any kids coming in to see the film dressed up we give them a warning.

“We tell them that if there is one complaint, whatever that may be, they will be kicked out of the cinema.”

Another cinema experienced the same issue.

The manager said: “The issue with the trend is children running around and treating the film as an opera, shouting and clapping.

“We had one small disturbance but we asked the kids to be quiet and they were so, fortunately, it’s not been an issue for us.”
