- Spider-Man: Brand New Day topped Amazon's bestselling movies and TV shows chart while still in theaters, following a near-$1 billion global opening weekend.
- Amazon is taking preorders for the film on DVD ($34.99), Blu-ray, and a collector's 4K UHD Steelbook two-disc set, with all listings showing a placeholder release date of "December 31, 2099."
- The 4K UHD Steelbook includes a digital code redeemable for a permanent download of the film.
- Studios have compressed the traditional 90-day theatrical window — The Devil Wears Prada 2 hit digital rental by mid-June after a May 1 theatrical debut, suggesting Brand New Day could get a physical release by early fall.
- Amazon's Pre-Order Price Guarantee locks in the lowest price and refunds the difference as site credit if the price drops before launch.
- Over 1,000 shoppers bought the TAMASHII NATIONS S.H.Figuarts Spider-Man: Brand New Day action figure in the past month — a fully articulated 5.9-inch figurine with interchangeable hands, head, and two spiderweb lengths.
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker navigating the fallout from erasing himself from people's memories, with Zendaya as MJ and Jacob Batalon as Ned.
Why it matters: The film's chart dominance before a release date shows how massive the Brand New Day demand is — fans are willing to preorder a $34.99 DVD sight unseen. With studios now releasing physical media within weeks of theatrical runs rather than waiting the traditional 90 days, buyers face little patience risk if they lock in early under Amazon's price guarantee.
