Fans of Marvel and the MCU may remember that the release of tickets for Avengers: Endgame did a huge number on cinema ticket sites across the US in 2019. It looks like Spider-Man: No Way Home did precisely the same thing late Sunday, with fans online claiming both AMC and Fandango were down as a result of the demand.
As of early Monday, AMC, Atom, Fandango, Cinemark and Alamo Drafthouse's sites all appeared to be up and running again.
The release of an NFT could be partly to blame. Earlier on Sunday AMC announced that the first 86,000 "AMC Stubs A-List, Premiere, or Investor Connect members" who purchased or reserved tickets for a Dec. 16 showing of Spider-Man would receive an "eco-friendly" Spider-Man NFT for their troubles. Hard to say if this had any impact on the AMC site going down, but it most likely didn't help. AMC and Fandango didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Beyond AMC, the demand for Spider-Man: No Way Home tickets appeared to be affecting almost every preorder service out there -- people reported that sites like Drafthouse also experienced difficulties.
