A screening of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” at a Cine Colombia multiplex in Cartagena, Colombia is disrupted after an overpowering smell spreads through the packed auditorium, prompting hundreds of moviegoers to leave their seats and evacuate the theater corridor. Reports describe the disruption occurring partway through the film during an August 2 showing at Plaza Bocagrande. Videos shared online show large groups of attendees outside the auditorium while staff manage the situation. Several outlets say the odor was attributed to an audience member’s “uncontrolled gas” or “fart,” though the individual responsible is not identified and the cause is not officially confirmed. Some viewers speculate the smell could come from a prank involving a stink bomb, while others suggest it may have been an accident such as not reaching the restroom in time. According to reports, the screening was not formally described as canceled, but many attendees reportedly chose not to return because the stench lingered. The incident spreads widely on social media alongside comments mocking the disruption. Separate coverage also notes that the film continues to perform well at the box office despite the event.
