Sony still hasn't announced a streaming date for the biggest movie ever at the U.S. box office. By What's on Netflix's math, the standard 120-day window points to Nov. 28 on Netflix, with Disney+ further down the line.
If you're waiting to watch Spider-Man: Brand New Day on Disney+, you'll be waiting a while. Netflix gets the movie first in the U.S., and as of Thursday, Nov. 12, neither Sony nor Netflix has announced a streaming date.
The movie opened in theaters July 31. It hit digital storefronts Oct. 6 for $29.99 to buy or $24.99 to rent, as we reported in October. That's still the only way to watch it at home right now.
Here's how the streaming windows work, and what the math says.
Is Spider-Man: Brand New Day on Netflix or Disney+?
Not yet, on either one.
Spider-Man is a Marvel character, but the live-action Spider-Man movies are made and released by Sony Pictures. Sony decides where they stream, not Disney.
Since 2022, Netflix has held the first U.S. subscription streaming window, called "Pay-1," for Sony's theatrical releases, What's on Netflix reported. So Brand New Day goes to Netflix before it goes anywhere else.
When will Spider-Man: Brand New Day be on Netflix?
Netflix hasn't said. Here's what the patterns suggest:
Standard window: Sony movies usually reach Netflix about 120 days after they open in theaters, What's on Netflix reported. Counting from July 31, that lands on Saturday, Nov. 28.
Blockbuster window: Bigger hits can take longer. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse took 151 days to reach Netflix, according to What's on Netflix. The same gap would put Brand New Day around late December.
Reports: Some outlets have said it will hit Netflix in December, but none has cited an announcement from Sony or Netflix. Treat that as a guess until it shows up on Netflix's official monthly list.
One more clue: the 4K, Blu-ray and DVD release is Tuesday, Dec. 15. That doesn't set a streaming date, but it's the next official milestone on Sony's calendar.
When it does land, it will be available on every U.S. Netflix plan, including the cheaper plan with ads, What's on Netflix said.
When will Spider-Man: Brand New Day come to Disney+?
Later. Disney has the next window after Netflix's ends, under a separate deal with Sony.
That Disney deal covers Sony's theatrical releases from 2022 through 2026, which includes Brand New Day. But neither company has announced when Brand New Day will move to Disney+, and the Netflix window has to run its course first.
So if you only have Disney+, buying or renting is the quickest way to watch it.
Will Spider-Man: Brand New Day stream on Netflix outside the U.S.?
It depends on where you live. What's on Netflix expects:
India, Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines: Netflix first, roughly late November to early 2027
UK and Canada: Up to two years after release, because Sky/NOW and Crave hold earlier windows there
Australia and much of Europe: An estimated 18 to 24 months
Sony and Netflix also signed a global deal, but it only kicks in with Sony's 2027 releases, What's on Netflix reported. Brand New Day is a 2026 movie, so the old patchwork applies.
How big was Spider-Man: Brand New Day?
Huge. It made about $955 million in the U.S. and Canada and roughly $2.51 billion worldwide, according to The Numbers. In September it passed Star Wars: The Force Awakens as the highest-grossing movie ever at the domestic box office, Variety reported.
Tom Holland stars, with Destin Daniel Cretton directing. It runs 150 minutes and is rated PG-13.
What should Marvel fans watch next?
Disney's next big Marvel date is Avengers: Doomsday, in theaters Dec. 18. So if Netflix does go with a late-December date, Spidey could land on streaming the same week the Avengers return to theaters.
Until then, the Brand New Day rental lasts 48 hours. At 150 minutes, that's two full viewings with time to spare.
