The first trailer for Sony Pictures' upcoming film Spider-Man: Brand New Day has shattered online viewership records, amassing 718.6 million views across platforms within its first 24 hours of release.Sony Pictures confirmed the milestone on Thursday, declaring it the most-watched movie trailer in history according to data from analytics firm WaveMetrix. The debut video, featuring Tom Holland reprising his role as Peter Parker alongside Zendaya, eclipsed previous benchmarks set by video game trailers and rival superhero films.
