Not because they're dressed smartly–or maybe not even because they're sneaking in a snack–but because of some of the groups' rowdy behaviour. Some videos see groups of at least 20 young boys attend a screening, clapping and yelling and generally being disruptive within the cinema screen--runining the fun for everyone.
The minions are wearing suits in the new movie because they are going to court. The boys are accused of being too rowdy and the judge said they have to wear suits so they look presentable.
'Minions: The Rise of Gru. ' Why dress up for a night at the theater? Bill Hirst, an Australian teen whose Gentleminions video has received millions of views, told Variety it was all “just for fun” after he and his friends saw another group of boys on TikTok who donned suits to the movies.
'” The inspiration is a TikTok trend known as #GentleMinions, which has amassed more than 61 million views on the platform. It encourages “Minions” moviegoers to film themselves as they dress up in suits and sunglasses to attend screenings of the latest installment of the “Despicable Me” series.
Some cinemas have banned young people wearing suits from screenings of Minions: The Rise of Gru over rowdy behaviour fuelled by a TikTok trend. Teenagers following the #gentleminions trend have been accused of making noise and throwing things during screenings.
The move was made in response to complaints about certain teenage moviegoers' boisterous behaviour after a trend went viral on the social media app TikTok.
Bill Hirst who is credited with starting the trend said they got some odd looks from another group of cinemagoers dressed up as minions when they first arrived in suits, but the two groups quickly bonded.
The video that really kicked off this trend was created by an 18-year-old from Sydney, Bill Hirst. His TikTok of 15 of his friends watching the movie at Chatswood Sydney has been viewed more than 35 million times.
"Due to recent disturbances following the #gentleminions trend, any group of guests in formal attire will be refused entry for showings of Minions: The Rise of Gru.

The story behind the video
Hirst got the idea to go to the theater in suits from TikTokers, who suggested pulling off the stunt but had not posted videos actually doing it at the time. He and a group of his friends decided to make the video after their end-of-year formal at their school in Sydney, Australia.
It read: “Due to recent disturbances following the #Gentleminions trend, any group of guests in formal attire will be refused entry for showings of Minions: The Rise of Gru.”
To answer one of the biggest questions in the Despicable Me franchise, the Minions speak a made-up language known as Minionese, sometimes additionally known as Banana Language or Minion Language.
Margo, Edith, and Agnes are three young girls living at Miss Hattie's orphanage. They very much want to be adopted. Gru adopts them, returns them, and takes them again. He writes a kid's book for them to express his grief at returning them and to declare his permanent love for them.
Minions (/ˈmɪnjənz/) are an all-male species of fictional yellow creatures that appear in Illumination's Despicable Me franchise. They are characterized by their childlike behavior and their language, which is largely unintelligible.
Gru's distinctive accent, described as "quasi-Russian" by A. O. Scott and "halfway between a Russian mafioso and a crazed Nazi" by Roger Ebert, was largely a product of his voice actor Steve Carell's experimentation.
Ideas to discuss with your children
There are also some scary characters. Because of these violent and scary elements, Minions isn't recommended for children under five years. We also recommend parental guidance for children aged 5-8 years, particularly those who might be disturbed by the violent and scary elements.
Now, the “suit” has become casual-looking and has taken a back seat to more causal clothing styles like t-shirts and jeans. With globalization, American clothing standards have caused many other countries to emulate the same causal dressing styles, causing a decline in the “traditional” suit's use in daily life.
If you haven't seen the weird viral moment for yourself, the trend involves teenage boys dressing up in suits and lining up for the new Minions movie. In the clips, the teenagers have swapped out their day to clothes for smart tailored clothing just like the film's main character Gro (voiced by Steve Carell).
The viral “Minions” fandom has evolved into a squad of “gentleminions,” or people wearing suits to screenings. The Independent reported that some of those fans have cheered, clapped, shouted, and mocked the Minion voices in theaters, disrupting those who wanted to watch the film in peace.
The trend is to record a video of yourself dressed in a formal suit and visit the cinema to see the newly released Minions: Rise of Gru. An individual would also mimic the villain Gru from the film by clasping their hands together.
