Moviegoer's fart disrupts Spider-Man screening, fans leave Colombia theatre midway
Spider man fans walked out of a screening in Colombia after a moviegoer's 'fart attack' spread through the auditorium. The unusual disruption sparked online jokes and criticism, though the person was never identified.
A Spider-Man screening in Colombia took an unexpected turn when moviegoers were forced to leave the theatre midway through the film, not because of a technical issue or an emergency, but because of an unbearable smell that filled the auditorium.
According to a report by The New York Times, the incident took place during a screening of Spider-Man: Brand New Day at the Cine Colombia multiplex inside the Plaza Bocagrande shopping centre in Cartagena on August 2.
The report mentioned that an unidentified audience member’s excessive farting caused the theatre to be cleared after the smell became too overwhelming for viewers.
The screening had been progressing normally until halfway through the movie, when the unusual disruption began. As the odour spread through the darkened auditorium, several audience members reportedly decided they could no longer remain inside and started leaving their seats.
Videos from the scene showed dozens of moviegoers gathered in the theatre corridor after exiting the hall. Among them was even a person dressed as Spider-Man, creating an oddly fitting scene outside a screening of the superhero film.
The New York Times reported that while the show itself was not officially cancelled, many viewers chose to walk out before the film ended because of the smell.
Reports surrounding the incident suggested that the situation may have either involved a prank involving a stink bomb or an audience member who was unable to reach the restroom in time, although the person responsible was never identified.

The bizarre incident quickly became a talking point online, with viewers jokingly blaming the unidentified person for becoming the "real villain" of the Spider-Man screening.
Several social media users criticised the disruption, saying that ruining an entire theatre experience for hundreds of people went too far, while others joked about what the person might have eaten to create such a strong smell.
The unexpected evacuation left moviegoers with a story they likely did not expect when they walked into a superhero film, one where the biggest threat came not from a villain on screen, but from somewhere inside the audience.
