Flatulence disruptions at Spider‑Man screenings

Overview

In early August 2026, two separate cinemas experienced evacuations after patrons emitted strong flatulence during screenings of the new Spider‑Man film. On 3 August, the Cine Colombia multiplex in Cartagena, Colombia, cleared its auditorium as the odor forced hundreds of viewers to wait outside. No injuries were reported and the cinema continued operating other screens.

Two days later, on 5 August, a cinema in Ružomberok, Slovakia (Kino Kultúra) evacuated for the same reason while showing the same Spider‑Man title. The film’s schedule proceeded as planned, with upcoming showings announced. Both incidents attracted online humor but did not affect the broader theatrical run of the movie.

These isolated events illustrate a quirky, repeatable disruption pattern affecting Spider‑Man screenings in different countries, prompting temporary evacuations but leaving the film’s distribution unchanged.
