Sign in to your ScreenRant account Spider-Man: Brand New Day is shattering box office records and receiving near-universal acclaim, while another of the superhero's movies achieved a major streaming milestone. The most recent Tom Holland-led film has grossed more than $2 billion worldwide and is number one at the box office for the fourth weekend in a row. Brand New Day's reviews have also been overwhelmingly positive, leading to a "Certified Fresh" 90% score from critics and a "Verified Hot" 98% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Before Brand New Day, the web-slinger's last movie to dominate the box office and be widely praised was 2023's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Sony's animated multiverse sequel centered on Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) grossed $690.5 million worldwide and received a 95% score from both critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Its long-awaited follow-up, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, is scheduled to be released in theaters on June 18, 2027. Spider-Man Across The Spider-Verse Is The Most-Viewed Spider-Man Movie Since 2023 According to Nielsen, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has received 8 billion minutes of streaming viewership since 2023. This makes it the most-viewed Spider-Man movie of the last three years, meaning it has outperformed all the superhero's other films led by Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield. The second most-watched is Holland's Spider-Man: Homecoming, but it is not close, with the 2017 movie having received 5.5 billion minutes of viewership. Rank Movie Minutes Viewed 1 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) 8 billion 2 Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) 5.5 billion 3 Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) 4.3 billion 4 The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) 3.8 billion 5 Spider-Man (2002) 3.6 billion 6 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) 2.9 billion 7 Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019) 2.8 billion 8 Spider-Man 3 (2007) 2.8 billion 9 Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) 2.2 billion 10 Spider-Man 2 (2004) 2.3 billion Even more impressive is that Miles Morales is the most-watched Spider-Man since 2023, with 12.3 billion minutes across just two of his movies. By comparison, the three movies led by Holland have 10.6 billion minutes total, followed by three with 8.6 billion minutes for Maguire, and two with 6.7 billion minutes for Garfield. In just the first half of 2026, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was watched for 2 billion minutes, further adding to the leading total overall for the Spider-Verse installments. The Nielsen report explains that children are more likely to rewatch the same movie on numerous occasions than live-action audiences. Since children are often drawn to animation, this means that they are more likely to rewatch the Spider-Verse films than the live-action ones starring Holland, Maguire, and Garfield. The report also mentions that the most-watched title across all Spider-Man movies and TV since 2023 is the animated preschool series Spidey and His Amazing Friends, which has amassed 73.7 billion minutes in this time as opposed to 38.2 billion minutes across 10 movies. The television show helps get younger fans interested in the hero from a young age via animation. Given the interest in animation, the natural next step is to watch Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse instead of going straight to the live-action offerings.
