Spider-Man: Brand New Day to Release Early in India Without IMAX Screening
Spider-Man: Brand New Day, starring Tom Holland and Zendaya, will release in India on July 30, 2026, a day before its US debut. Despite advance bookings opening across multiple premium large-format screens, the film will not have an IMAX release in India due to Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey securing exclusive IMAX screenings from July 17 to August 14. The movie, set four years after No Way Home, explores Peter Parker's isolated life and features a diverse cast including Sadie Sink. Fans expressed disappointment over the lack of IMAX availability.
