After fans reported audio mixing issues in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Sony Pictures has released an updated version of the film.
The main complaints were about low audio levels during the introductory scene in the animated Spidey sequel, which centers on Hailee Steinfeld’s Spider-Woman character Gwen Stacy.
While the sound issue was limited to “a handful of theaters,” a source close to the film told Variety that “all prints” of the film have been updated, adding that it’s not uncommon for distributors to send out remastered prints to exhibitors, “when the opportunity arises.”
The opening weekend was presented by writer and producer Phil Lord I commented on the subject of soundSand proposes the following solution on Twitter: “#SpiderVerse Friends! If you’re in the theater early and want a fun mission, ask someone to check that the theater volume is set to the reference level (7)! If it sounds a little quieter, ask them to turn the volume up a little, namely to 7.5! If they upset you, tell them we said it was okay.”
In response to Twitter users in the comments, Lord confirmed that the Spider-Verse team mixed the film at a reference volume of 7. “I listened to several cinemas this weekend at 7am and they sounded great.” “All dialogue clear, sir wrote.
Across the Spider-Verse is the second Spider-Man film to focus on Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore), a Brooklyn teenager who develops superpowers after being bitten by a radioactive spider. In the sequel, he meets hundreds of other web-slinging heroes in all dimensions.
Directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson, Across the Spider-Verse grossed a whopping $120.5 million in its opening weekend and received rave reviews. It’s not just a continuation of the Miles Morales story. The film takes this story to new levels of wow factor that make it a true spiritual companion to the first film.”
