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.
If nobody wants to work at a theatre and its hard to hire, that is the prime time to ask for a raise tho
I don't know that it's hard to hire. You can't just not have income under capitalism, and you don't have a lot of choice as a worker when pretty much everywhere is offering the worst conditions they can get away with. They're more likely to replace you than give you a raise.
