‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ trailer shatters all-time 24-hour viewership record

It’s safe to say that people are starving for Spider-Man: No Way Home.

According to Variety, the forthcoming film shattered an all-time viewership record since releasing its teaser trailer Monday (Aug. 23):

Despite leaking online a day early, the teaser trailer for "Spider-Man: No Way Home" has set a new all-time record for the most global views in the first 24 hours, with 355.5 million trailer views. That far surpasses the previous record held by the trailer for "Avengers: Endgame," which picked up 289 million views when it debuted in December 2018. 

According to Sony Pictures, the "No Way Home" trailer also earned the most ever mentions on social media of any movie preview over the first 24 hours, with 4.5 million mentions.

The three-minute clip shows Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who has been publicly exposed and unmasked as Peter Parker, laying on a rooftop with MJ (Zendaya) and mocking headlines about himself.

“Can we just, like, stay up here all day?” he asks. “It is so crazy down there.”

We see him getting interrogated about the death of Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) and coming under even more scrutiny from his peers and the public at large.

Peter then seeks help from Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch)—asking him to turn back time and make it so Mysterio never revealed his true identity. While Doctor Strange is casting the spell, Peter starts having regrets because he doesn’t want MJ to “forget everything we’ve been through” or does want at least Ned (Jacob Batalon) to remember he’s Spider-Man. But the damage has been done to the stability of space-time. Oops.
