Cinemas ban teens in suits after TikTok trend
Some UK cinemas have banned groups of young people wearing suits during screenings of the latest Minions movie.
The decision comes after some young moviegoers were criticised for rowdy behaviour following a viral trend which erupted on the social media app TikTok.
The trend involves large groups of teenage boys, who call themselves The Gentleminions, filming themselves going to watch the latest instalment in the Despicable Me franchise dressed in suits.
It it not clear where the trend originated but the #gentleminions videos show suited groups attending the screenings and copying the main character, supervillain Felonius Gru, and his signature hand gesture.
