Spider-Man: Brand New Day Leak on X Draws Millions Before Takedown

A bootleg of the film Spider-Man: Brand New Day was posted on X (formerly Twitter) and remained accessible for over seven hours before being removed. During that period, the leaked content reached over 5.9 million accounts and accumulated more than 143,000 likes. Other accounts attempted to repost the film, but Disney has been issuing takedown requests, and these copies have not lasted long. Despite the leak, the film's box office performance has not been hindered. It earned $72 million in previews, surpassing the previous record of $60 million set by Avengers: Endgame in 2019. The film has already grossed $168 million between previews and opening day, ahead of Endgame's $157.4 million at the same point. Sony expects the latest Spider-Man installment to gross $325 million. The leak is unlikely to slow the box office juggernaut, which is already shattering records. The article also mentions other tech news, including Pixel 11 specs and price leaks, a Billboard Hot 100 hit possibly being AI-generated, and a US government ban on Roombas.
