Spider-Man: Brand New Day leak racks up millions of views on X

A pirated version of the film Spider-Man: Brand New Day was accessible on the social media platform X for more than seven hours before its eventual removal. During its time online, the leak reached an estimated 5.9 million accounts and accumulated over 143,000 likes.

While other accounts have reposted the film, these copies have been short-lived, as Disney appears to be actively issuing takedown requests to combat the unauthorized distribution.

Despite the leak, the film is not expected to significantly impact its box office performance. Spider-Man: Brand New Day generated $72 million in preview screenings this week. This figure surpasses the previous record of $60 million set by Avengers: Endgame during its 2019 previews.

The studio's swift action highlights its commitment to protecting intellectual property. The strong preview numbers suggest the film is poised for a record-breaking theatrical run.
