He doesn’t have to clean the theaters afterwards, so of course it doesn’t bother him.
This Minecraft business is fine. It's no different than any afternoon kids movie matinee (ie: Paw Patrol; something that only kids are interested in). The mess that ends up on the floor is sold at a 99% profit margin and anyone who understands the finances of running a theater gives zero fucks about that product getting wasted. I can't imagine any upset patron getting stiffed on a free screening to compensate for it, either.
At this stage, theater owners are hungry for literally anything that sells tickets and puts butts in seats. Fuck it; let the kids have fun at the movies.
I'm sure the understaffed folks making minimum wage really appreciate all the extra income this film is bringing their overlords.
I wrote that as a former movie theater usher. I literally did that job. You regularly clean up giant messes. Kids matinees were always the messiest. That is the job. When you aren’t cleaning auditoriums, you’re cleaning toilets, the lobby, polishing the brass on the stanchions, etc. There’s literally no idle time being stolen by this work.
It’s fine.
