A screening of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” in Cartagena, Colombia, is disrupted after an overpowering foul smell spreads through the auditorium, leading hundreds of moviegoers to leave mid-screening. Reports say the incident occurred on August 2 at Cine Colombia in the Plaza Bocagrande shopping centre. According to accounts shared by outlets, the movie was reportedly playing normally until an unidentified viewer released an odor that intensified and became difficult to tolerate. As the smell spread, audience members moved out of their seats and into the cinema corridors, and staff responded to the disruption. Video clips posted online show large crowds gathered in the multiplex area, including a person in a Spider-Man costume, while theatre personnel managed the situation.
Across sources, the cause is described as an alleged “fart attack,” but the identity of the person responsible is not confirmed. Some viewers speculate it could involve a prank such as a stink bomb, while others suggest the odor may have come from a genuine mishap. The film itself is not described as being formally cancelled, but many attendees reportedly chose not to return because the stench lingered. The incident gains attention on social media.
