Anxious to see Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man? Of course you are. Would you like to see it one day before everyone else? That’s a silly question. So, if you’re lucky enough to live in 11 major U.S. markets, Sony’s got you covered. Here are the details.
 
In Webb’s reboot of the classic Spider-Man mythology, the fictional Oscorp Industries – and its CEO, Norman Osborn -- play a larger role in Peter Parker’s universe. To reveal more would be to spoil, and we explain that only to point you to the Web site for Oscorp Industries.
 
There, fans who’ve scoured the various pages can land on an invitation to special, free advance screenings of Spider-Man on Monday, July 2, at 7:30 p.m. 
 
Screenings are being held in Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Houston, Washington, DC, Dallas, San Francisco, Seattle and Los Angeles. 
 
Details on the individual screenings, however, will not be revealed until the day of the screening. And on that day, fans seeking tickets will have to embark on a scavenger hunt, of sorts, until the 24 pairs of allotted screening tickets have been unearthed. They will be given out on a first come, first served basis. Lucky fans will be treated to an early screening of Webb’s popcorn blockbuster, free of charge. 
 
Early word on The Amazing Spider-Man has been overwhelmingly positive. The movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter, is tracking at or near $125 million for its opening weekend. And the majority of early reviews posted to Rotten Tomatoes have been favorable. 
 
Don’t feel like jumping through the hoops to see Spidey early? Fandango has you covered. Click here to pick up tickets ahead of the busy July 4th weekend. The Amazing Spider-Man opens everywhere on July 3.

    it's a different story, it's not a sequel,? it's a reboot. And it starts from where Peter was in high school.This movie takes place during Spidey's highschool years.Peter doesn't meet Harry till college, though they will probably introduce him in the sequel? anyway. [BLOCKED WEBSITE]
