'The Batman' Screening Disrupted After Live Bat Released In US Theatre

'The Batman' is a second pandemic-era move to cross the $100 million mark in a single weekend after 'Spider Man: No Way Home'.

A visitor brought a live bat to a screening of The Batman in Austin, Texas, prompting the staff to pause the film. The incident happened Friday and a video of the incident was posted on Twitter by people who went to Moviehouse & Eatery to watch Matt Reeves' film. I'm at the Batman movie and there are real bats in the theater…. #Imcooloffthatpic.twitter.com/NdSkMITXQi I was there. They tried to bait it into flying out pic.twitter.com/tkPLMJdtbm

A spokesperson at Cinépolis, which owns the cinema hall, said that the guest was pulling a prank and not trying to harm anyone.
