Developed over time first seen 2 months ago

Deadline · 2 months ago

Sony is preparing a theatrical re-release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the highest-grossing film at the domestic box office, which will feature additional footage including a previously cut scene with actress Rosario Dawson as character Claire Temple. Dawson, who appeared in various Marvel television series, had previously mentioned that a scene she shot for the film was removed from the original release, though the studio has indicated there will be further surprises included in the expanded version. This re-release announcement follows the successful run of Avengers: Endgame: Encore, which grossed $86 million globally on its return to cinemas.

Brand New Day continues its theatrical run worldwide with a cumulative gross of $2.495 billion, of which $950.7 million comes from the North American market, making it Sony's highest-grossing film ever and surpassing Spider-Man: No Way Home by $570 million. The film trails Avengers: Endgame's worldwide total by $389.7 million and remains the third-highest-grossing film globally. Sony has not announced a specific date for the re-release, though the studio has previously employed similar strategies, including a Labor Day weekend 2022 re-release of No Way Home that generated $9.3 million domestically. The current theatrical cut runs two hours and twenty-five minutes.

Full account

Sony Pictures is preparing to bring Spider-Man: Brand New Day back to cinemas with a special theatrical re-release featuring previously unseen material. The decision comes as the film continues its remarkable theatrical run, having already established itself as the largest-grossing feature at the North American box office and the third-most successful film worldwide by ticket sales.

The expanded version will incorporate additional scenes, most prominently comprising content featuring actress Rosario Dawson in the role of Claire Temple, a character who provided medical support to various heroes in Marvel Television's interconnected series, including Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage, as well as their ensemble crossover film The Defenders. Dawson had previously disclosed that she completed filming for this particular Marvel Studios project, though the material failed to appear in the theatrical release. Sources suggest that supplementary surprises will accompany the re-release beyond Dawson's contribution.

The picture, helmed by director Destin Daniel Cretton and led by Tom Holland in the titular role, has accumulated approximately $2.495 billion in worldwide revenue, with $950.7 million derived from North American audiences. This total represents a significant achievement for Sony, surpassing the prior studio record held by Spider-Man: No Way Home, released in 2021 and grossing $1.92 billion. To reach the current all-time record established by Avengers: Endgame ($2.92 billion), Brand New Day would require an additional $389.7 million. Separately, Holland and Zendaya featured in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey through Universal Pictures, which has accumulated $1.75 billion globally.

The decision to plan a re-release appears partly motivated by the recent success of Avengers: Endgame: Encore, which generated $86 million at the worldwide box office during its recent theatrical return, including $26 million from domestic venues. That re-release incorporated additional footage to promote the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled for December release. Sony has previously re-released Spider-Man films during comparatively quiet periods in the theatrical calendar, as demonstrated when No Way Home returned for a Labour Day weekend engagement in 2022, garnering $9.3 million domestically. No formal date has been established for the Brand New Day re-release, though industry observers anticipate an announcement regarding timing in the coming period.

The film has become one of the highest-grossing films ever made, accumulating approximately $2.5 billion at the global box office.
