No, like seriously, The Rise of Gru is becoming one of the most successful movies ever. Like, actually. It has even gotten so crazy that 22 teenage boys created a trend by dressing in suits, carrying suitcases and minion plushes, and saying, “22 tickets to The Rise of Gru, please.”

Social Media Is Destroying Our Society
Minions, the Rise of Gru is a very successful movie that made $164 million dollars in just the first week! Imagine that! The movie was originally supposed to come out on July 3, 2020, but due to Covid, the date was pushed back to July 1, 2022. “In response to the severity of the situation in France, we are temporarily closing our Illumination Mac Guff studio in Paris. With this decision we are abiding by the French Government’s guidelines and doing everything possible to slow the spread of the virus as we care for our artists and their families,” TheWrap.com stated.
What Could Go Wrong?
OK, first of all, ignore the title of this article. You may be wondering, what could go wrong with such a charming little prank? Well, some things didn’t go as expected. “Doing these types of things, you actually get a lot of stares,” said Devan Rajen, an 18-year-old student. “People probably thought we were humiliating ourselves.” Despite the fact that the teenagers meant the stunt as a joke, people thought that they were disrupting the movie for other viewers, and movie-theater managers even took the situation so far as to ban the wearing of suits in their theaters.
Well, was this a fail or not?
