Moviegoers trashed a theater during the screening of "A Minecraft Movie" in Australia and the extent of the mess was only revealed when the lights were turned back on.
Debris was scattered everywhere and video showed the moments attendees started throwing toilet paper and cheering when "Chicken Jockey" appeared.
Once the lights were turned back on, a white powder substance that appeared to be flour, covered the floor and seats.

'Chicken Jockey' chaos
Dig deeper:
This isn’t the first time a movie theater was trashed after the appearance of "Chicken Jockey" in "A Minecraft Movie," believe it or not.
The sheer chaos that follows once the popular character appears on the movie screen has prompted some movie theaters in the U.S. and U.K. to issue a warning or impose a ban.
One movie theater in New Jersey actually banned several minors from coming back. In Michigan, one theater enforced new guidelines that all "A Minecraft Movie" attendees must not talk loudly, yell or record video or take photos.
In Wisconsin, the Marcus Ridge Cinema advised fans to be courteous of other guests and to refrain from cheering during the movie.
And at the Cineworld theater in Whitney, England, a message was posted notifying customers that they will be removed from the theater without a refund if they are disruptive during the film, according to the BBC.
