Amazon Prime members get exclusive access to Spider-Man: Brand New Day screenings two days ahead.

To beat your friends to Spider-Man: Brand New Day without spoiling the plot, consider joining Amazon Prime. A special deal between Sony Pictures and Amazon grants U.S. Prime subscribers advance access to screenings on July 29, a full two days prior to the movie's official release date of July 31.

To participate in exclusive Spider-Man: Brand New Day screenings, register on a designated webpage for advance notice when tickets become available for purchase via Fandango. Early access isn't complimentary; attendees must be prepared to act swiftly to claim their seats.

Amazon Prime offers two pricing tiers: a monthly fee of $14.99 or an annual charge of $139. Young adults aged 18-24 can opt for a discounted plan, paying just $7.49 per month or $69 annually. Meanwhile, the Amazon Prime Video library boasts a wide range of Spider-Man content, including movies and TV shows that can be purchased or rented individually – with the exception of Spider-Noir, which is included as part of the Prime package but not essential viewing for Brand New Day screenings.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe's Spider-Man saga continues with Spider-Man: Brand New Day, building upon Homecoming, Far From Home and No Way Home.

In a bold new chapter, Peter Parker has been absent from public life for four years, having deliberately erased his memories to safeguard both his Spider-Man persona and those closest to him, such as MJ. As time passes, however, Parker's abilities are becoming increasingly unstable due to the mounting pressure he faces, while a formidable foe in Scorpion emerges on the scene, posing an existential threat to the web-slinger.

The upcoming crossover features characters from various MCU projects, such as Mark Ruffalo's Hulk and Jon Bernthal's Punisher. Details about the story and casting remain scarce, with Sony and Marvel keeping a tight lid on information. One notable exception is Sadie Sink's character, whose identity will be revealed closer to the premiere date. The crossover promises unexpected twists and significant MCU updates.

Prime members have long enjoyed exclusive early access to select movies, and this trend continues with recent releases. Project Hail Mary was one such film made available ahead of its scheduled March debut.

Amazon's strategy faces its most significant challenge yet with the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, a highly anticipated summer blockbuster produced by Sony, not Amazon MGM Studios. The stakes are higher than usual, as Amazon stands to gain from increased interest in Prime membership rather than direct financial rewards for its studio.

The Spider-Man tie-in's success is uncertain in terms of triggering more early ticket sales. Nevertheless, it's evident that Amazon and similar companies will increasingly link theatrical releases with digital subscriptions. The prospect of watching a highly anticipated film sooner rather than later becomes more plausible by the day. In fact, a future may emerge where movies essentially have two premiere dates, mirroring the practice of some films being made available on streaming services before reaching other platforms.
