A group of friends from Mansfield were turned away from the cinema due to their smart clothes. The 13 year olds were attending Odeon cinema in Mansfield to watch Minions: The Rise of Gru but were told to change or they were not going to be allowed in.
The Odeon cinema currently has a rule in place banning 'formal attire' and two of the friends in the group were wearing white shirts. It comes after an online TikTok trend which sees people dress up in suits like main character Gru head to the cinema to watch the film.
Some viral videos show people taking part being disruptive during the screening and so some cinemas have banned people turning up dressed smart. Yet Matt Bingham, 46, who's son was part of the friend group finds it 'discriminative'.
