Since spiderman is shown on front row, does that give ntl more rights to use it?

Again, context is important. They would have the right to use the image to publicise the film, as this would probably have formed part of any deal ntl signed in order to show Spiderman on Front Row.
The key is,
any use of the picture other than as Duncan quoted above is prohibited, except where written permission has been obtained. That written permission will doubtless be very specific in what additional activity it is permitting. If ntl acquired permission to use the Spiderman photo in the context of an advert for broadband internet it is highly unlikely that the licensor understood the exact use to which it was put. There's no way they would have agreed to this. And something tells me ntl probably forgot to ask anyway.
