The official digital release of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse may have recently been unveiled, although the exact streaming availability remains uncertain. Nonetheless, there is a reasonable estimate for when it will become accessible.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has proven to be a remarkable achievement both commercially and critically. With its theatrical debut on June 2nd, the film amassed an astonishing $208.6 million in global box office revenue during its opening weekend, making it the highest-grossing opener of the summer. Furthermore, it has amassed a whopping $663.5 million in worldwide earnings to date, continuing to generate millions of dollars daily. Additionally, both audiences and critics have hailed it as one of the finest films of the year.
The previously announced digital release date for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse on Amazon was August 8th, but it has now been changed to a general statement of "Get this movie as soon as it becomes available." This change could be due to a possible miscommunication between Sony and Amazon, and it suggests that the digital release date might be subject to change. Another possibility is that Sony decided not to announce the release date while the film is still performing well in theaters.
In comparison to its predecessor, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which was released digitally after 74 days in theaters, the sequel's potential digital release on August 8th would only be 67 days after its theatrical release. While this one-week difference may not seem significant, it is noteworthy that the sequel is outperforming its predecessor at the box office. Into the Spider-Verse earned $375 million worldwide during its initial release, whereas Across the Spider-Verse, which has been in theaters for 46 days, has already grossed $663 million.
Fans should keep an eye out to see if Sony will soon announce an official release date. For those eagerly awaiting the film's availability on streaming platforms, Sony has partnered with Netflix, with the agreement taking effect in 2022. Under this deal, previous films such as "A Man Called Otto" and "65" were released on Netflix 120 days after their theatrical release, leading to a projected streaming date of September 30th for "Across the Spider-Verse." After its 18-month tenure on Netflix, the film is expected to make its debut on Disney Plus. In a review by Game Rant, "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" received an excellent rating of 4 out of 5 stars. The review praised the film for its departure from the typical CGI style dominating the market, showcasing the true potential of animation.
