Universal Pictures approves of Gen Z dressing up in suits and coming out in droves to see Minions: The Rise Of Gru as part of a new TikTok craze. But some movie theatres have found the trend despicable.

According to a report by BBC News, cinemas have been cancelling screenings and banning people in related costumes from seeing the animated film in an attempt to mitigate the rise of #Gentleminions.
