Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson defies theater rules amid ‘Moana 2’ release

Dwayne Johnson stunned fans with his latest move as he inspired them to sing along Moana 2 amid fury over theatrical etiquette.

The The red one star who is preparing for his role as the demigod Maui in Moana 2 along with Auli’i Cravalho, who voices Moana, announced at the UK premiere that fans should follow the songs as that is the “fun part” of watching a musical.

During an exclusive interview with BBC News, The Rock shared his thoughts on singing along in cinemas despite their updated rules and regulations.

He told the outlet: “Especially if you love music, that’s the fun part.

“Sing! You’ve paid your hard-earned money for a ticket and you’ve walked into a musical and you’re into it. Sing.”

This news comes on the heels of the recent debate over cinema etiquette ahead of Jon M Chu’s highly anticipated musical Evil.

On authentic platforms like AMC, organizers encourage movers to abide by the rules and specifically prohibit singing at any point in the film.

In a short Wicked-themed pre-show advisory video, the theater shared, explaining, “At AMC Theatres, silence is golden. No talking. No texting. No singing. No whining. No flirting. And absolutely no naming. Enjoy the magic of movies .”

For the uninitiated, Moana 2 is scheduled to open in UK cinemas on 27 November 2024.
