54 Glasgow students descend on Minions screening in suits as part of viral trend

There's nothing quite like a new movie coming out and people getting dressed up to see it wearing clothing inspired by the movie whether it's Harry Potter or Star Wars.

However one film that has just been released has started a rather unusual trend which has resulted in people being banned from cinemas across the UK.

The trend sees a young group of men wearing suits during screenings of Minions: The Rise Of Gru. In the viral TikToks, there is usually a pretty big group of teenage boys who call themselves 'The Gentleminions' who are seen walking through the cinema in their numbers.

However the reason for its ban is not because of the smart attire but instead due to rowdy behaviour when people are filming videos for TikTok as they buy tickets to see the latest instalment of the Despicable Me franchise.

One video that is currently doing the rounds is in Glasgow which sees a group of students stand outside the city's Royal Concert Hall before making their way to Cineworld on Renfrew Street.

There have been several trends surrounding cinemas going viral on TikTok lately with people dressing up in minion costumes or as Dr Strange characters. It will show them asking for a ticket to see a film and after the member of staff asks which movie, they turn to the camera to reveal their suit with a visibly confused face.

It's not known where the trends began however many videos, one of which has almost two million likes, shows people clapping, screaming and cheering thanks to the "five year wait" finally being over. This of course can ruin the film for many, especially young kids.

The disruptive behaviour during the family-friendly film has now lead to cinemas across the UK enforcing a ban on suits as well as other banning people going to see the film without an adult present with Odeon also saying it had "restricted some access".

A spokesperson for Odeon cinemas told the PA news agency: "Due to a small number of incidents in our cinemas over the weekend we have had to restrict access in some circumstances."

It's unclear whether or not the Cineworld chain has enforced any bans.

Taking to the comments section of the now viral TikTok people were all for the Glasgow student's attire.

One said: "I went yesterday. I’m not even kidding, the whole cinema cheered and applauded when Gru came on screen."
