Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse now has an official streaming date on Netflix. The film, which was released on June 2nd, was a massive success, earning $120 million at the domestic box office in its opening weekend. It has gone on to gross $690 million worldwide, making it the 6th highest-grossing film of the year. Fans can soon enjoy the film on Netflix, as it will be available for streaming.
Netflix has revealed that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will start streaming in the US on October 31st. As for other countries, there are currently no plans to make the film available. It is expected that the movie will be streamed on Netflix for a period of 18 months before it departs from the platform. After that, it is possible that the film will find its way onto Disney Plus, although nothing has been confirmed yet. Once Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse arrives on Netflix, viewers will have access to a total of 6 Spider-Man movies, including the Raimi trilogy and both of The Amazing Spider-Man films, amounting to a grand total of 13 hours and 33 minutes of Spider-Man content.
In 2021, Sony and Netflix reached an agreement for Sony films to be streamed on Netflix after their theatrical release. While specific details of the deal are undisclosed, previous Sony films typically became available for streaming 120 days after their theatrical debut. However, it is unclear if this timeline applied to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, as the film's streaming release would have been on September 31st if that were the case. It is possible that the film's continued success in theaters until September 14th influenced this decision, as releasing it for streaming too soon could have impacted its box office performance.
One recurring question among fans of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is whether there will be further changes to the film. Sony discreetly released a second version in theaters one week after the original premiere, featuring minor modifications in dialogue and animation. Fans eagerly awaited confirmation of which version would be released digitally, and it was eventually revealed that the second version included additional changes to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse scenes. No further alterations were made for the film's Blu-Ray release, suggesting that there likely won't be any more changes for its streaming version.
