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.

Editor’s note: Re-release confirmation and box-office figures follow Variety (Jack Dunn), Sep 28, 2026. Domestic record vs. Force Awakens ($936.773M in 47 days) and all-time worldwide ranking behind Avatar and Endgame follow that Variety report. Deadline same-day corroboration noted in secondary search; prefer Variety for figures. No re-release date or description of the new footage was disclosed.

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.

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.

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. On Sept. 16 the film passed Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936 million) as the highest-grossing domestic release ever, reaching $936.773 million in 47 days, Variety reported.

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.

Uncertainty: No studio date, runtime add, or scene description was public Monday. Box-office tallies are studio/comScore figures as reported by Variety and can be revised slightly.

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.
