On the first day of the film's release, a 16-year-old was caught using a camcorder to tape Spider-Man 2 at a Los Angeles theater. The boy was caught by a projectionist wearing night vision goggles. He was escorted out of the theater and turned over to L.A. police.

The theater employee may receive an award of up to $500 for catching the suspect. The reward program was created this month by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the National Association of Theater Owners to help curb movie piracy.
