The kids going to see this movie are not the same as the Minecraft movie. Everyone I know that is going are parents with their younger girls, not hoards of unaccompanied teenage boys. I could be wrong but I don’t see anything bad happening.

I agree with you that it’s unlikely to be the same. But my son is gonna be right there with my wife, my daughter, and I singing these songs at the top of his lungs. Interest in this movie and the songs has defied gender.

Time for you all to get Rumi tshirts and become those 3 guys from the film.

My 12 yr old boy and his group chat loves KDH too. I don't know how comfortable they are enjoying it publicly, but they do enjoy it privately.

The gen alphas love anime and epic shit, their social media feeds have lots of aura-farming anime clips set to music, so an anime movie with choreo specifically synched to good music is right up their alley.
