Sam Raimi’s Iconic Spider-Man Trilogy Swings Back to Theaters

Get ready to relive the web-slinging magic that defined superhero cinema! Sam Raimi’s beloved Spider-Man trilogy—starring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker—returns to theaters nationwide this fall, alongside the historic theatrical debut of *Spider-Man 2.1*, an extended cut of the fan-favorite sequel.

Fathom Events will re-release all three films across two weekends, starting September 26–28 and repeating October 3–5. The rollout includes:

Spider-Man (2002): Fridays (Sept. 26 & Oct. 3)

Spider-Man 2.1 (Extended Cut): Saturdays (Sept. 27 & Oct. 4)

Spider-Man 3 (2007): Sundays (Sept. 28 & Oct. 5)

The event marks the first-ever big-screen showing of *Spider-Man 2.1*, a 4K remaster featuring 8 minutes of new and extended scenes. Originally released on DVD in 2007, this version deepens Doc Ock’s (Alfred Molina) storyline and adds playful moments like Peter’s elevator chat with Mrs. Jameson. Fathom CEO Ray Nutt calls it “a true gift for longtime fans and a thrilling discovery for new ones.”

Raimi’s trilogy, which launched in 2002, revolutionized superhero storytelling with its emotional depth and groundbreaking action. Audiences will revisit iconic moments—from the upside-down kiss to Peter’s hilarious “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” montage—alongside villains like Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin and Thomas Haden Church’s Sandman.

Nostalgia Factor: For Gen-Z and millennials, this is a chance to experience Maguire and Kirsten Dunst’s chemistry on the big screen.

Enhanced Experience: *Spider-Man 2.1*’s new footage offers fresh context for one of cinema’s highest-rated superhero sequels (93% on Rotten Tomatoes).

Legacy Celebration: As multiverse stories dominate today (Spider-Verse, No Way Home), this trilogy reconnects fans with the universe that started it all.

Tickets go on sale July 25 via Fathom’s website and participating theaters. Whether you missed these canon events in 2002 or crave a nostalgic web-swing, clear your calendar—Spidey’s back!
