The latest movie in the Marvel superhero series, which sees director Sam Raimi and star Tobey Maguire return to the franchise, will make its worldwide debut on May 5, 2011.
"The last two Spider-Man releases have been available in IMAX theaters, and we're very much looking forward to our return to a wider IMAX theatre network with this exciting new chapter in the continuing adventures of Spider-Man," said Rory Bruer, president of worldwide distribution for Sony Pictures.
IMAX CEO Richard L. Gelfond added: "Spider-Man continues to be one of the world's most popular motion picture franchises, and we are very excited to include the latest chapter as part of our 2011 slate."
The three Spider-Man movies have pulled in more than $2.5 billion in worldwide box office takings since the release of the first movie in 2002.
