Why Sony Is Keeping It in Theaters Longer
The Tom Holland-led film has been unstoppable — it became the fastest movie in history to hit $1 billion (just 6 days) and crossed $2 billion in only 17 days, trailing only Avengers: Endgame. Domestically, it surpassed The Force Awakens to become the highest-grossing U.S. release ever, with $2.45 billion earned worldwide so far. Sony now wants to chase down Endgame and Avatar at the global box office, which means squeezing every possible week out of theaters first.

What This Means for Fans?
The silver lining? A New Year’s Day digital drop is a smart move — people are home, gift cards are burning holes in pockets, and holdout viewers will be primed to buy. Sony is also expected to follow its usual Netflix “Pay-1” deal, making it the final MCU Spidey film under that arrangement before shifting to Disney+ years later.
Sony may also borrow a page from No Way Home‘s playbook, potentially releasing an extended theatrical cut with deleted scenes to keep momentum alive before the digital window opens.
