The long-awaited film “
One Piece Red
” arrives in French cinemas this August 10.
The new film adaptation of the best-selling manga in the world is distributed and screened in France by Pathé cinemas.
This is the fifteenth feature film from the franchise which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
Even before its official release, “One Piece Red” was already being talked about.
During the previews, the overheated public overflowed.
A video shared on social networks captures a chaotic scene filmed in full projection, Sunday August 7.
The La Joliette cinema in Marseille was overwhelmed: popcorn sent into the air, t-shirts torn off, a bunch of people throwing themselves at the screen... enough to disrupt the session.
If it can lend to smile, this incident is not so isolated.
At another screening of this film, this time in Bordeaux, spectators triggered a fire alarm.
They would not have appreciated a revelation at the end of the work.
These discrepancies do not only affect “
One Piece
”.
They are regular during the passages to the cinema of Japanese animation films general public.
For example, a few months ago, during the screening of the film "
Jujutsu Kaisen 0
" at the Grand Rex, similar outbursts took place.
Several men had gone bare-chested in the room.
These spectators received a call to order.

These repeated scenes provoke the indignation of the fans.
“
You pay for your cinema ticket so that cranks pass in front of the screen, go bare-chested and throw popcorn during the most important scene of the film… Don't talk to me about atmosphere, it's big n 'anything
,' annoyed a surfer.
“
Good Child Spirit
”
In the eyes of Nathalie Cieutat, deputy general manager distribution of Pathé Films, these pranks are to be put into perspective.
"
For us, it's a non-issue.
Yes, some fans went into a tailspin in the last seconds of screening.
But that's part of folklore, it's still very good-natured.
Moreover, she indicates that the directors of the cinemas where these scenes took place do not seem cooled, on the contrary.
“
These films are a good opportunity to attract a very large audience, the cinema needs to find these spectators
”, she pleads.
Even if the intention of the troublemakers is not bad, the public gets annoyed and parades are studied.
“
A solution often discussed by fans of Japanese animated films is to split the sessions into two.
On the one hand those who want to enjoy the film, and on the other those who see it as a social event where to party
, ”comments Benjamin Benoit, a journalist specializing in Japanese animation.
A remedy to study if the events repeat themselves.
