In a feat of cyber-ninja futility, a bootleg of 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' swung its way onto X—yep, the platform formerly known as Twitter—for a whopping seven hours, clocking over 5.9 million eyeballs and 143,000 loves. Disney’s usual fleet of takedown samurais finally ended the spree, just in time to protect their $72 million preview juggernaut, which crushed 'Avengers: Endgame’s' 2019 $60 million preview record like a bug under Peter Parker’s shoe.
