Updated on Nov. 8, 2026 in Action/Adventure
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has become the most-watched movie on Prime Video worldwide and the second-most-watched in the United States, behind Verity. The film also posted the biggest domestic opening weekend and first-week haul in history.
Why it matters
The film's performance marks a major commercial run for the franchise and shows how strongly theatrical success carries into streaming viewership. Its early streaming rankings highlight the growing overlap between box office hits and subscription platforms.
Brand New Day reached $1 billion worldwide faster than nearly every film before it, ranking as the second-fastest to do so. The runtime is 145 minutes, and an official Disney+ date has not been announced.

Industry Dynamics
The film's success follows the pattern set by Spider-Man: No Way Home, which grossed $1.9 billion worldwide, and reflects the continued strength of theatrical releases before streaming. Its performance shows how studios are increasingly relying on franchise tentpoles to drive both box office and subscription platform growth.
Viewers can currently stream Spider-Man: Brand New Day on Prime Video, where it ranks as the most-watched title worldwide. Netflix is projected to add the film before Disney+ in mid-2027, so access will depend on the subscription platform a viewer uses.
The takeaway
The record-setting run shows that theatrical blockbusters can dominate streaming charts months after release. Viewers wanting to watch on a specific platform should track the Netflix and Disney+ windows as they are announced.
What happens next
Netflix is expected to stream the film before Disney+ in mid-2027, though no dates have been confirmed.
