Spider-Man: Brand New Day has now become the latest major Hollywood release to fall victim to online piracy. According to reports, a leaked version of the film rapidly spread across X (formerly Twitter), with multiple users reposting the content before several uploads were removed. The development comes even as the superhero blockbuster continues to perform strongly in cinemas, crossing the Rs 250 crore net milestone in India.

Full Film Reportedly Circulated Across X

According to the reports of Variety, copies of the film were widely shared on X, with users downloading and reposting the leaked footage across multiple accounts. Reports suggest the pirated version reached millions of users before many of the uploads were eventually removed later in the day.

The leak follows a similar incident involving Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which also surfaced online shortly after its release. In that case, Universal Pictures reportedly initiated takedown requests to remove the unauthorised copies from the platform.

Longer Video Uploads On X Raise Piracy Concerns

Since Elon Musk acquired Twitter and rebranded it as X in 2022, X Premium subscribers have been able to upload videos of up to four hours. The expanded upload limit has made it technically possible for users to post full-length feature films on the platform.

Although reports indicate that Sony ordered takedowns of the leaked Spider-Man: Brand New Day videos, several uploads were still visible on X.

The latest leak was not the first setback for the film. Before its official promotional rollout, trailers for Spider-Man: Brand New Day were also reportedly circulated across X and Reddit ahead of their scheduled release.

According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Spider-Man: Brand New Day collected Rs 76.00 crore net on Day 4, marking an 8.2% increase over the previous day's Rs 70.25 crore net collection.

The film earned Rs 76.00 crore net across 18,051 shows on its fourth day. With this, its total India gross collection stands at Rs 306.37 crore, while the overall India net collection has reached Rs 256.20 crore, successfully crossing the Rs 200 crore milestone.
