Bed bug shock! Paris cinema closes after horror screening
In a worrying incident, the Cinémathèque française in Paris has had to close several cinemas. The reason for this are reports of the appearance of bed bugs that appeared after a screening of the classic science fiction film “Alien” (1979). The US actress Sigourney Weaver was also present at this screening. After the screening, several moviegoers complained of bites and posted pictures of suspected bedbugs on social media. Madani Bendjellal, a moviegoer, described the bugs crawling on the seats and clothing.

Those responsible at the Cinémathèque took immediate action to resolve the problem. According to reports, the premises are to be systematically checked for bed bugs by sniffer dogs. The carpet is also carefully treated to eliminate pests. These incidents are not isolated, but rather raise a larger public issue that began in the summer of 2023, when similar reports emerged from a Paris cinema.
Bed bug hysteria as a result of the Olympics?
The discussion about bed bugs has expanded in recent months as more people claimed to have discovered bed bugs on trains and other public places. French authorities have accused Russia of fueling this “bed bug hysteria” on social media ahead of the 2024 Olympics, further inflaming the situation. The large number of reports has led many people to become more aware of the issue and take proactive measures to protect themselves.
Meanwhile, the healthcare sector presents both challenges and opportunities. Trend analyzes show that the pharmaceutical industry relies heavily on innovation and implements technologies to increase digitalization and efficiency. Companies like Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk are participating in pricing schemes and moving production facilities back to the US.
