Rioting until the film breaks off: why the escalations surrounding “Creed III” are not a Tiktok trend

During the presentation of the film “Creed III” there were repeated riots in the cinema halls. The police suspect a Tiktok trend behind it. A scientist, on the other hand, considers the media coverage to be the trigger.

Unrest, food fights, fights: In the past few days, there has been vandalism in some cinemas during screenings of the film “Creed III – Rocky’s Legacy”. Videos of incidents in Hamburg, Bremen and Essen are circulating on Tiktok, which are clicked millions of times.

A cinema in Homburg, Saarland, has now pulled the ripcord and removed the film completely from its program. “After performances, the hall looked as if a popcorn and nacho hurricane had swept through – everything was messed up with popcorn, nachos and sauce,” said the operator of the Eden cinema, Andreas Simon star. The film halls were already significantly dirtier than usual last Thursday. He initially assumed it was an isolated case.
