If you saw Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse over opening weekend and found yourself struggling to hear a few lines, it wasn't just you. Now, Sony Pictures has sent a new version of the movie to theaters meant to address those concerns, Variety reports.
The sound issue was reportedly isolated to a handful of theaters, but Sony updated all prints anyway. The issue was most noticeable during Gwen Stacy's opening scene at the very beginning of the movie.

Now Playing: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Date Announcement | Summer Game Fest 2023
Writer and producer Phil Lord posted to Twitter about the sound issues, noting that the team mixed the movie at a volume reference level of 7--which the movie theater operators use to make sure they're running the movie at the volume it was intended to run at.
#SpiderVerse friends! if you get to the theater early and you want a fun mission ask someone to check that the theater volume is set at reference (7)! If it sounds a bit quiet, invite them to turn it up a touch to 7.5! If they give you flack... tell them we said it was okay. pic.twitter.com/BfgKuK9uM2

Lord mentioned in another tweet that he "heard several theaters this weekend at 7 and they sounded great. All dialogue clear."
