‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Re-Release Planned With New Footage

"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is getting a re-release with new footage, Variety has confirmed. Details about the new scenes remain under wraps, and no release date has been announced.

The re-release has a clear commercial logic. "Brand New Day," which opened July 31, has grossed $2.49 billion worldwide and stands as the box office story of the summer. One milestone remains out of reach: no film has ever crossed $1 billion at the domestic box office alone. "Brand New Day" currently sits at $950.6 million in North America, a figure that would most likely fall short of the record without a theatrical return.

The Marvel-Sony tentpole has already rewritten the domestic record books. On Sept. 16, "Brand New Day" eclipsed 2015's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" as the highest-grossing domestic film of all time. "The Force Awakens" had held the record at $936 million for more than a decade. Spider-Man took the crown after earning $936.773 million in just 47 days at North American cinemas.

Globally, the film ranks as the third highest-grossing movie of all time. It trails 2009's "Avatar" ($2.92 billion) and 2019's "Avengers: Endgame" ($2.88 billion), and sits ahead of 2022's "Avatar: The Way of Water" ($2.3 billion) and 1994's "Titanic" ($2.2 billion).

"Brand New Day" follows Tom Holland's Peter Parker as he tries to rebuild his life after a spell made his friends and family forget who he was. The cast includes Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal, Jacob Batalon, Mark Ruffalo, Tramell Tillman and Florence Pugh. Destin Daniel Cretton directed from a screenplay by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.

If the re-release performs, Holland's Peter Parker could claim the last unclaimed record in blockbuster cinema: a ten-figure domestic gross.
