‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ plans a re-release with new footage
Sony and Marvel's summer blockbuster Spider-Man: Brand New Day is getting a theatrical re-release with new footage, Variety confirmed Monday, though scene details and a date remain under wraps. The film has grossed about $2.49 billion worldwide and about $950.6 million domestically as it chases the first $1 billion North American total.

What happened
Variety said details about the new scenes remain under wraps and that a re-release date has not been announced. The Destin Daniel Cretton–directed Marvel/Sony film opened July 31 and stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker alongside Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal, Jacob Batalon, Mark Ruffalo, Tramell Tillman, and Florence Pugh.
Why it matters
Without a re-release, Variety argued, the remaining distance to $1 billion domestic would likely be out of reach. A footage-boosted return also extends the film's cultural runway into the fall awards and holiday corridor.
What’s next
Watch for an official re-release date and whether the new footage is marketed as a prelude to future Spider-Man or MCU chapters.
More context
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is getting a theatrical re-release with new footage, Variety confirmed Monday, giving the summer's biggest hit another shot at becoming the first movie to cross $1 billion at the domestic box office alone.
The numbers: Variety put worldwide grosses at $2.49 billion — third all-time behind Avatar ($2.92 billion) and Avengers: Endgame ($2.88 billion) — and domestic grosses at about $950.6 million.
