A bootleg of Brand New Day stayed on X for over seven hours, reaching 5.9 million accounts. The opening weekend is estimated at $465–470 million globally.
A high-quality unauthorised copy of Spider-Man: Brand New Day circulated on X for more than seven hours on July 31. The bootleg was uploaded by an account identified as Fredrick Bryan around 6:05 a.m. Pacific Time. It reached 5.9 million accounts, earned 143,000 likes and 10,000 reposts before X removed it at 3:25 p.m. PT.
Other accounts uploaded copies as well. Most of those posts were removed quickly after appearing.
The same platform hosted a bootleg of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey last week. That copy reached 2.1 million views in about two and a half hours before X removed it. The account that posted it was later suspended.
Studios typically send copyright infringement notices to social-media platforms. The speed at which users repost leaked content makes it difficult for rights holders to catch every copy before it spreads further.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day opened in the U.S. on July 31, the same day the leak appeared. Early estimates project a global opening weekend between $465 million and $470 million. The film's theatrical performance has not shown an immediate effect from the leak.
Tom Holland reprises his role as Peter Parker in his fourth solo MCU film, the 38th in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The story takes place four years after Spider-Man: No Way Home. Peter Parker lives alone after choosing to erase himself from the memories of those closest to him. He continues protecting New York City while confronting a new threat that endangers his powers.
Destin Daniel Cretton directed the film. Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers wrote the script. The cast includes Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal, Florence Pugh, Tramell Tillman and Mark Ruffalo. Columbia Pictures, Marvel Studios and Pascal Pictures produced the project. The premiere was at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on July 27. India released the film on July 30.
The original leak has been removed. The seven-hour availability marks one of the longer windows for a major studio release to stay on X before takedown.
