A video from a screening of Spider-Man has gone viral on social media, showing two moviegoers getting into a physical fight inside a packed theatre. As the altercation escalated, the audience appeared visibly disturbed. The exact location of the incident remains unverified, with some social media users claiming it took place in Bihar, while others speculated that it happened in Gurugram. The fight happened after the man kept giving out spoilers of the film, as he disclosed the upcoming scenes to his friend. The friends seated nearby then had a physical altercation with the person.
As the video went viral, one netizen assumed the fight erupted at a theatre in Canada. However, another clarified, "Bsdk, Gurgaon hai ye, BC har cheez mein Bihar." While some reacted wittily, one wrote, "Avengers and New Avengers ganged up to beat Dr. Doom." Another commented, "IMAX 3D, 4DX kuch nahi hai iske saamne. Paisa vasool ho gaya, ticket ka pura. Real lag raha hai."

The film, headlined by Tom Holland and Zendaya, has crossed the Rs 100 crore mark on Day 2, surpassing Shah Rukh Khan and Ranveer Singh at the Indian box office. The film, which marks Tom Holland's fourth solo outing as Spider-Man, opened at Rs 60 crore net in India, becoming the biggest Hollywood opener ever in the country.
In North America, the film created history even before its release, registering the highest box-office total from paid previews. Its USD 72 million haul went on to break Avengers: Endgame's record.
