In the video, Mr Beast can be seen swaggering into the cinema with a large number of people - all of whom are sporting a formal shirt and tie along with a pair of sunglasses.

"Felt despicable so I bought out the theatre," the on-screen text read with a devil emoji.

Next, the content creator can be seen at the ticket booth with his squad as he asked: "I want the whole theatre for minions," he then holds the door for them as they all entire the cinema complex.

Mr Beast stood in the centre of the cinema complex as all of his "gentleminions" head in the direction of the movie screen - "minion gang fr [for real]," the on-screen text read at this point.

He then leads the march to the cinema screen as the "gentleminions" are prepped, with popcorn in hand to enjoy the film as the on-screen text says: "we done Gru up."

Everyone eventually filters into their sets to watch The Rise of Gru.

Due to this trend, The Rise of Gru to been a box office smash as it set a 4th July box office record having achieved a $127.9 million opening weekend.

Though as the trend has become popular, cinemas have begun to ban groups of "gentleminions" rocking up to the venue in formal wear.

A spokesperson from Odeon told indy100 last week: "Due to a small number of incidents in our cinemas over the weekend we have had to restrict access in some circumstances."

While one cinema reported having to give out refunds to customers due to the trend and the groups have left children "in tears".
