An actual bat was spotted swooping around inside the theater, putting the movie on pause while management called animal control and tried — unsuccessfully — to get the critter out.

一隻真的蝙蝠被目擊在戲院裡到處飛撲，導致電影暫停，當時管理者打電話給動物管制人員並試圖把這隻小生物趕出去，卻鎩羽而歸。

Guests were offered their money back, but most chose to stick it out and watch the film “bat and all,” according to one moviegoer.

根據一位觀眾說，客人們獲准退款，但多數人堅持欣賞完這部「蝙蝠大全」電影。

The Moviehouse & Eatery by Cinépolis says the bat was likely released into the theater as a prank. The theater’s general manager Heidi Deno said they will be “adding additional security and checking all bags upon guest entry.”

「電影之城的電影院與食堂」說，這隻蝙蝠可能因惡作劇而被放進戲院。戲院總經理海蒂．德諾說，他們將「增加額外安全措施，並在客人進入時檢查所有包袋。」
