You probably didn\u2019t need\u00a0Spider-Man: Brand New Day\u2019s\u00a0box office<\/a> to know people love Marvel\u2019s wallcrawler. But to really drive the point home, Nielsen<\/a> has a report that puts some numbers on the board just to make clear how popular the character is right now.<\/p>\n

In this report, the audience measurement firm revealed\u00a0 Americans have watched over 121 billion\u00a0minutes worth of Spidey between January 1, 2023 and July 4, 2026. This covers the movies and the many TV shows, which in turn translates to \u201cover 230,000 years of web-slinging.\u201d Funny thing, though: while Tom Holland\u2019s<\/a> Peter Parker is currently the talk of cinematic town, it\u2019s actually Miles Morales who\u2019s the most-viewed Spider-hero. Shameik Moore\u2019s version of the character introduced in the Spider-Verse\u00a0films has a collective 12.3 billion minutes of viewers, followed by Holland\u2019s Peter (10.6 billion), then Tobey Maguire (8.6 billion across his trilogy) Andrew Garfield in fourth (6.7 billion from his duology).<\/p>\n

In the case of Holland, Nielsen specifically lists movies with the \u201cSpider-Man\u201d heading, so only his\u00a0Home\u00a0trilogy matters here. (Sorry to his supporting roles in the\u00a0Avengers\u00a0movies.) For the top 10 Spidey films,\u00a0Across the Spider-Verse\u00a0holds most at 8 billion minutes viewed, follwed by\u00a0Homecoming\u00a0(5.5 billion minutes) and\u00a0Into the Spider-Verse (4.3 billion). Nielsen notes that\u00a0Across\u00a0has nearly 2 billion minutes worth of views in 2026 alone, but since this cuts off at early July, it\u2019s unknown how much the recent Beyond the Spider-Verse\u00a0leak<\/a> has boosted numbers of either animated movie.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

TV-wise, the most popular Spider-show is the toddler series\u00a0Spidey & His Amazing Friends,\u00a0which actually takes up the bulk of minutes viewed with 73.7 million to the films\u2019 collective 38.2 billion minutes. Fellow shows\u00a0Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Spider-Noir<\/a>\u00a0trail well behind Spidey,\u00a0with respective viewing minutes of 1.2 billion and 2.6 billion. It\u2019s worth noting that\u00a0Spidey\u00a0has been going since 2021 and therefore has a lot more episodes for the young\u2019uns to watch\u2014103 full episodes across four complete seasons, as of this past May.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re wondering how the games factor into things, analytics from mid-August<\/a> revealed Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2\u00a0sold an additional 316,000 copies (or $11 million in sales) across PlayStation 5 and PC. The reason for that is Brand New Day:\u00a0Insomniac Games put out a free update adding that film\u2019s suit to its already sizable roster, and with the costume there, players decided to jump back in, maybe take some photos.<\/p>\n

This all just underlines how 2026 truly belongs to Spider-Man. And if\u00a0Beyond the Spider-Verse\u00a0lands its current June 18, 2027<\/a> date, maybe that year will belong to Miles.<\/p>\n
