CINEMA bosses have been forced to put up signs warning anyone watching the new Spider-Man film not to reveal its biggest twists – for fear of fights breaking out.
Big screen chain Odeon have issued the pleas to the thousands of fans flocking to the blockbuster following complaints that those leaving screenings were dropping spoilers in front of those waiting to go in.
Spider-Man: No Way Home has been hugely anticipated among the global army Marvel movie fans and is the biggest movie of the holiday season.
An insider said: “It sounds extreme but there have been a few instances where people have queued for a long time to get in to see the movie, only to have people reveal the ending as they leave.
“That’s often caused tension and the last thing cinema bosses want is arguments and potential scuffles breaking out.”
In some cases spoilsports have even ruined people’s enjoyment by deliberately giving away the conclusion of the film, which sees Brit pin-up Tom Holland play the web-slinger.
One Twitter user, Andrew Collinson, complained: “@ODEONCinemas A film as highly anticipated as Spiderman and we had people running down the corridor, entering the screen and shouting potential spoilers.
“For a showing where people have waited a long time trying to avoid spoilers only for that to be allowed.”
Now staff have erected the signs insisting they wait until they’ve exited the cinema before don’t uttering a word about the film, which is the second highest opening in history after taking almost £200m in its first weekend.
They read: “Spoiler alert! please refrain from talking about the film you have just watched until you have left the building to prevent spoiling other guests’ experience. Thank you.”
