The magic of a movie theater isn't always magic after all, or so a bunch of theatergoers found out when they tried to attend a theatrical screening of The Grinch chronicled in a viral TikTok.

Patrons watched in disbelief as the Amazon Prime Video home screen and FireTV functionalities showed up on their movie theater's screen while they waited for the movie to begin airing.

At one point, the operator of the theater even searches for the title The Grinch using the search function.

The best part was for close to 35 minutes, theater employees could not figure out how to get the movie going.

An error message finally appeared on the screen, saying the theater had maxxed out the amount of movies it was allowed to have playing at one time.

Theatergoers can be heard simultaneously laughing and groaning at the error message.

The video has racked up 7 million views.

People noted while the person working was most definitely not at fault for the error message, the theater was illegally showing films.

The FBI's anti-piracy warning forbids it.

"The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of a copyrighted work is illegal."
"Criminal copyright infringement, including infringement without monetary gain, is investigated by the FBI and is punishable by up to five years in federal prison and a fine of $250,000."

The event and the location where it took place are unclear, but the original poster of the video noted it was a local theater rather than a large franchise.

The original poster noted while tickets were only $2 for the movie, the theater ended up paying $4 to rent the HD version of the Jim Carrey version of the movie.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
