It looks like Spider-Man: Brand New Day will return to theaters on December 4

The most successful movie in motion picture history is set to get an itsy-bitsy bit bigger. As reported in September, Spider-Man: Brand New Day‘s return to theaters is likely imminent and, according to AMC’s website, Spider-Man: (Brand New) Brand New Day will open on December 4 with seven minutes of additional footage and one additional parenthetical. Originally caught by Reddit’s Peter-Tingling users and, later, Gizmodo, the release date has yet to be confirmed. The A.V. Club has reached out to Marvel and Sony for comment. To date, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the highest-grossing movie of all time and has made $2.5 billion since opening on July 31. If it makes another $40 million domestically, it will become the first film to ever make more than $1 billion at the domestic box office. 

If AMC Theaters is correct, the Brand New Day re-release is well-timed to Marvel’s next crossover event, Avengers: Doomsday, opening December 18. The re-release continues a recent trend Disney, in particular, has implemented over the last few years. In 2022, Spider-Man: No Way Home returned to theaters under the “More Fun Stuff Edition” banner. Months later, IMAX theaters reopened their doors to Avatar and allowed James Cameron to wear the “biggest movie of all time” crown again. He handed the crown back to Marvel when Avengers: Endgame Encore retook the title and shared a nonsensical image of Na’vi welcoming Iron Man as one of their own, something that would never, ever happen because Tony Stark’s armor violates all Three Laws of Eywa, prohibiting the use of fire, technology, and metal.
