Tom Holland’s new Spider-Man film “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” has made history after its trailer crossed 1 billion views in just four days. The record-breaking numbers have made it the most-watched movie
trailer ever, putting it far ahead of previous Hollywood releases. The trailer, released by Sony on March 17, didn’t just break records — it smashed them within hours of going live. Industry trackers, including WaveMetrix, confirmed that the clip has now reached 1.1 billion views, cementing its place as the biggest trailer launch in entertainment history. Within the first 24 hours alone, the trailer pulled in 718.6 million views, making it the biggest debut for any trailer — not just films, but even video games.In just eight hours, the trailer had already clocked 373 million views worldwide, enough to rewrite the record books early on. Before this, the benchmark for trailer debuts was held by “Deadpool and Wolverine,” which had recorded 365 million views in its first 24 hours after premiering during the 2024 Super Bowl. What makes this feat even more notable is that “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” didn’t just outperform films — it also overtook one of the most anticipated video game releases. The trailer broke the all-time 24-hour record previously held by the “Grand Theft Auto VI” trailer, which had reached 475 million views in a day. Crossing that figure by such a wide margin signals just how strong the Spider-Man fan base remains globally. This isn’t the first time Tom Holland’s Spider-Man has delivered massive numbers. The previous instalment, “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” had set a record of 355.5 million trailer views in 24 hours and later went on to earn $1.9 billion at the global box office. “Brand New Day” picks up after the events of that film, where the world forgot Peter Parker’s identity as Spider-Man. The new chapter sees Holland returning to the role, alongside Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando and Mark Ruffalo. The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. Producers include Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal, Avi Arad and Rachel O’Connor, with Louis D’Esposito and David Cain serving as executive producers. With massive online traction already translating into strong anticipation, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is set to hit theatres on July 31.
