Cartagena cinema evacuated after flatulence disrupts Spider-Man screening

A screening of Marvel's *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* at the Cine Colombia multiplex inside the Plaza Bocagrande shopping centre in Cartagena, Colombia, was interrupted when an audience member released an extremely strong odor. The smell forced hundreds of patrons to leave the auditorium and wait outside while the air cleared. A costumed Spider‑Man character was seen among the fleeing crowd.

No injuries were reported and the cinema continued operating other screens. The culprit was not identified; some social‑media users suggested a prank or a missed bathroom break. The incident attracted online humor and viral video clips but did not affect the film’s broader run in the city or elsewhere.
