‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ Trailer Breaks Viewing Record For Sony

Despite a lot of people’s confusion regarding the new Spider-Man movie and how it fits into Marvel’s Avengers  timeline, everyone still happily tuned in to the first trailer, giving Sony’s Columbia Pictures its biggest trailer debut ever. According to Deadline, Spider-Man: Far From Home managed to score 130 million views in its first 24 hours, knocking its predecessor Spider-Man: Homecoming’s 116 million views out of the top spot. It’s another huge Spider-Man win for Sony, who have been recently sweeping all of the awards for their critically-beloved animated featured Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Since the trailer’s debut, which previewed Peter Parker (Tom Holland) and his classmates heading to Europe for a school trip, fans have been quite vocal about their feelings on Sony’s decision to release the trailer considering Spider-Man “died” in Avengers: Infinity War. Theories have been flying around about just where Far From Home will fit into the timeline of Homecoming, Infinity War and the upcoming Endgame, that would explain how Parker is alive and well.
