‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Re-Release In Works With Extra Footage – The Dish
Developing story first seen 2 hours ago
Sony is planning a theatrical re-release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the highest-grossing film at the domestic box office, with additional footage including a previously cut scene featuring Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple. The re-release comes as the blockbuster continues its record-breaking theatrical run and capitalises on the success of Disney's recent Avengers: Endgame re-release, which generated $86 million globally and proved audiences will return for additional content.
Brand New Day has accumulated $2.495 billion worldwide ($950.7 million domestically) since its release and remains Sony's highest-grossing film ever, surpassing Spider-Man: No Way Home. The film currently trails Avengers: Endgame by $389.7 million in the global box office race, and the studio has not yet announced a specific re-release date, though industry logic suggests it could target a quieter period such as Labour Day weekend, when Sony successfully re-released No Way Home in 2022 for $9.3 million domestically. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and starring Tom Holland, the original cut runs 2 hours and 25 minutes, and beyond the Rosario Dawson material, the re-release will include additional surprises.
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day re-releasing with cut Rosario Dawson footage included
- Film has earned $2.495B globally; $389.7M behind Avengers: Endgame
- No re-release date announced; likely during quiet box office period
