Spider-Man: Brand New Day Tops Amazon Preorders Without Release Date After $1 Billion Opening

3 articles · Updated · Rolling Stone · Aug 4

Summary

  • Amazon’s bestselling movies and TV chart is now led by Spider-Man: Brand New Day, even though Sony has not announced a home-release date and the listing shows a placeholder of Dec. 31, 2099.
  • Nearly $1 billion in opening-weekend global box office helped drive that demand while the film is still in theaters, with Amazon already selling DVD, Blu-ray and a 4K UHD Steelbook edition.
  • The DVD preorder is listed at $34.99, and Amazon says the two-disc physical release will include a digital redemption code; buyers also get the retailer’s pre-order price guarantee.
  • Studios have shortened the old 90-day theatrical window, and with recent films reaching digital and disc formats within weeks, Brand New Day could arrive for home viewing by early fall.
