Spider-Man: Brand New Day leak reaches 5.9 million accounts on X

A bootleg copy of *Spider‑Man: Brand New Day* was posted on X for more than seven hours before it was removed. During that window the clip was seen by over 5.9 million accounts and accumulated more than 143,000 likes. While a handful of other accounts reposted the footage, each was taken down quickly as Disney began issuing takedown notices.

The leak is unlikely to dent the film’s commercial momentum. *Spider‑Man: Brand New Day* has already shattered the record for preview sales, pulling in $72 million this week—surpassing the $60 million preview haul of *Avengers: Endgame* from 2019. The movie’s box‑office performance remains on an upward trajectory, with Disney’s swift action against the leak underscoring the studio’s vigilance over its intellectual property.

The incident highlights the challenges of digital piracy in the streaming era, but the film’s record‑breaking earnings suggest that the leak will not alter its overall success. (Full story at The Verge.)
