"Social media is ablaze with reports of kids going wild at screenings of A
Minecraft Movie
.

Some cinemas are cracking down. There are reports of cinemas calling in police
to deal with rowdy theatregoers and making special announcements before the
film, warning of consequences for “anti-social behaviour” including “clapping
and shouting”.

But these kids are engaging in a kind of communal experience. Rather than being
antisocial behaviour – couldn’t we label it as prosocial?"
