Tom Holland’s web-slinger is heading back to cinemas, and the buzz around the ‘Spider-Man: (Brand New) Brand New Day‘ re-release keeps growing. An extended version of the year’s biggest hit is reportedly on the way with extra footage. The next big question is when ‘Spider-Man: (Brand New) Brand New Day’ ticket sales will actually begin.

The original film landed on July 31 and achieved a record-shattering $360.1 million domestic opening weekend and surpassed $2 billion globally within 11 days. Its total now stands at $2.52 billion, still $419 million behind ‘Avengers: Endgame’. That kind of run explains why Sony wants another trip to the box office.

According to The Trailer Crypt, Sony is reportedly eyeing November 19, the worldwide launch day for ‘GTA VI’, to open ticket sales for the new version. The outlet’s sources say the re-release could carry the title ‘Spider-Man: (Brand New) Brand New Day’. It also expects a new trailer promoting tickets, featuring never-before-seen footage.

This is still a report rather than an announcement, and Sony hasn’t commented. The same outlet expects a ‘Doomsday’ trailer that week too, which would make mid-November a crowded stretch for pop culture.

Fans already know how fast these tickets move. When the original went on sale in June, it pulled in the biggest first-day US ticket sales in 5 years, while users hit queues at sites like Fandango and AMC. For comparison, ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ racked up $78 million in advance sales before its release.

The re-release first surfaced in September, when Deadline reported Sony and Marvel were planning a return to theaters with added material. This week, an AMC listing appeared to fill in the blanks. It showed the title ‘Spider-Man: (Brand New) Brand New Day’, a December 4 date and a runtime of 2 hours and 32 minutes, about 7 minutes longer than the original.

The listing has since been pulled. AMC changed the page so it redirects to ‘Family Holiday Film: Re-Issue’ with the same runtime and a placeholder release date. Sony and Marvel have yet to confirm the title, the date or the runtime, and reports differ on whether the extra footage runs 7 or 10 minutes. The Trailer Crypt, meanwhile, points to December 3, so early December is the safest bet for now.

The one confirmed addition so far is Rosario Dawson’s Claire Temple, also known as Night Nurse. Dawson said they filmed her scene and it was cut from the movie. The same report notes that Marvin Jones III has said he filmed far more than made the final cut, so more Tombstone could be on the way.

There is plenty of material to choose from. One tested version of the film reportedly ran 30 minutes longer than what hit theaters. And if you were hoping to catch these scenes at home, the footage will not be on the Blu-ray release, which doesn’t include any deleted scenes.

The reported date lands about 2 weeks before ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, which opens on December 18. That has fans wondering whether the new cut will tease what comes next. Marvel did something similar before, since Disney confirmed that ‘Avengers: Endgame Encore’ includes new footage setting up ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, though nobody has confirmed a matching tie-in here.

Sony has also done this before. The ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ ‘More Fun Stuff Edition’ added 11 minutes to that film and wasn’t on the home video release. Fans know the pattern: a hit returns with extra scenes, and the big screen becomes the only place to see them.

Are you planning to buy a ticket for the extended re-release of Spider-Man: (Brand New) Brand New Day?
