In other words, the movie wasn't really finished when it was released.

So much for promoting the theatrical experience. Just as it tries to come back after the pandemic with some big successful new films, they're doing their best to try again to kill theaters by vacating the fall/holiday schedule. Pretty soon they won't have to worry about release dates at all...

Yes, per the studio's terminology in their quote in Variety:

Yeah, that they sent out replacement prints seems to indicate there was an acknowledged technical problem. The directors saying "just turn it up" seems kind of dismissive.

I think that's one reason why I didn't care so much for the first film. Instead of just having a neat self-contained origin story about Miles, we end up with all the multi-verse versions. I guess that's to be expected when the title itself includes "spider-verse", but I that's part of why I...

Or they could just not bury the dialogue so low in the film's audio mix.

Possibly in gross dollars, but Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me had a nearly 5.8x multiplier over the opening of the first Austin Powers movie ($55 million vs. $9.5 million). In fact, the opening weekend of The Spy Who Shagged Me was bigger than the entire domestic run of the first film...

It's been quite a while, so I don't recall specifics. I know I didn't care for the animation style so much. Seems like the story wasn't that engaging for me and I've never been much of a fan of multi-verse type stories. I have vacation coming up, so maybe I'll give it a re-watch to see if it's...

I didn't care for the first (which I bought blind on 3D blu). Is there anything here that might make me like this one or is it just more of the same?

The studios are going to induce multi-verse fatigue the way they're going. We had Spider-Verse, then that concept was used in No Way Home, now we're going to have Doctor Strange in the Multi-Verse of Madness, then two more Spider-Verse films?
