Spider-Man: No Way Home may reach the top of the box office yet again, months after its original theatrical release.
According to Variety, No Way Home is on track to top the Labor Day weekend box office following its re-release in theaters on Sept. 2. Just in time for National Cinema Day on Saturday, Sept. 3, Sony released the "More Fun Stuff Version" of the Spider-Man threequel across 3,935 North American theaters, which included 11 minutes of never-before-seen footage. This re-release added $1.75 million to No Way Home's overall box office total, with current projections for a $6.1 million gross across the four-day holiday weekend. National Cinema Day took place on Sept. 3, with 3,000 movie theaters across the United States offering movie tickets for just $3.

Spider-Man: No Way Home consistently broke box office records since its theatrical release, becoming the first pandemic-era film to earn over $1 billion at the global box office. While it raked in $587.2 million worldwide in its first weekend in December 2021, the film's opening day alone set a precedent for the subsequent records, making it the second-highest opening day of all time with $121.5 million, behind Avengers: Endgame, which still remains the highest-grossing film ever. The film has earned over $800 million at the domestic box office and is the third highest-grossing domestic release of all time.
Spider-Man: No Way Home - The More Fun Stuff Version was announced in June and was released in theaters in the United States and Canada, though more countries will be announced in the near future. Among the new footage that is included in this version is a deleted scene featuring star Tom Holland's brother, as well as more footage regarding Peter Parker's personal life. The More Fun Stuff Version marks 60 years of Spider-Man in comics and also celebrates two decades of the hero on the big screen, starting with Sam Raimi's trilogy starring Tobey Maguire.
