Spider-Man: Brand New Day tickets are already selling out. Today is a big day for Spider-Man, with tickets finally on sale for Brand New Day alongside a final trailer drop. Marvel and Sony have somehow managed to keep so much secret – including the true identity of Sadie Sink’s mystery character. Star Tom Holland has certainly managed to amp up excitement, openly discussing his own contributions and the lessons he learned from Christopher Nolan – and has insisted on applying in the Sony and Marvel movie.

Amazon Prime Early Access screenings already show some theaters half full or even sold out, although it must be noted some user report bugs in theaters. Prime members can swing into exclusive screenings on July 29 in selected theaters nationwide at Amazon’s new Brand New Day page, two days before the film’s theatrical release.
There were reports of some theaters posting tickets early, while others reported major problems with bookings. Users experienced queues at sites like Fandango and AMC, with available tickets appearing and then disappearing. One colleague reported logging in on Fandango, but carts wouldn’t change; he was then pushed into a 15-minute queue, before ultimately winding up with four tickets booked rather than two.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day Is Sure to Be a Hit
The largest superhero franchises – Spider-Man, Batman, and the Avengers – are still strong, even now. Brand New Day is all the more exciting, though, because it honestly feels like an original pitch rather than just an attempt to make another movie. Marvel and Sony typically try to make each film grander and more spectacular than the last; that culminated in Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s multiversal epic, which united Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire as different incarnations of Peter Parker. Rather than top that, though, the studios appear to have gone for a character piece. It’s certainly proven to be the right move, although booking sites appear to have underestimated demand.
Brand New Day feels like the Spider-Man film the fans have always wanted to see. There are still MCU characters galore – Jon Bernthal’s Punisher and Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk – but the focus lies on Peter Parker himself, the linchpin of this narrative. What’s more, the initial trailers have stressed just how comic book accurate the story is; Holland has apparently spent plenty of time monitoring fan conversations, leaving him with a strong view of what this Spider-Man film should be. In truth, it now feels Holland not only embodies Peter Parker; he has embraced the role, taking a sense of responsibility for it. This, too, is catnip for the fandom, who are eager to book their tickets.
The chaos will no doubt settle down as the day continues. In the meantime, though, one thing’s for sure; demand for Spider-Man: Brand New Day is high, and the final trailer drop is eagerly anticipated. We’re easily looking at one of the most successful movies of the year.
