The phenomenon of Spider-Man: No Homecoming movie in theaters has also increased the demand for other Spider-Man movies on the streaming platform. Globoplay, Netflix and HBO Max have their catalogs perused by fans eager to understand the story of the new feature starring Tom Holland.
In service of Globo, O Spectacular Spider-Man 2 (2014) and Spider-Man 2 (2004) lead the list of most-watched films. But the platform’s top 10 also includes Back to Home (2017) and the first Spider-Man (2002).
On HBO Max, The Spectacular Spider-Man (2012) and Spider-Man 3 (2007) rank first and third in hot movie territory, respectively. Prime Video, which does not have the most-viewed segment on the platform, puts the Fair de Casa (2019) among the recommended features – production takes place just before the same Volta Para Casa.
On Netflix, Back to Home was the third most-watched movie of this week which runs from December 20 to December 26. The first Spider-Man, starring Tobey Maguire and released 19 years ago, also managed to break into the Brazilian top 10 in last place – ahead of hundreds of more recent and more publicized releases by the platform.
This is not exclusively a Brazilian phenomenon. Since Netflix has started disclosing the number of hours watched of its movies, it has become easier to get an overview of how the platform’s customers are using it. Worldwide, Back to Home was the fifth most viewed feature of the week with 20 million hours. The service topped four of the original Christmas presents.
The numbers are impressive because, since rights negotiations tend to be by region, the film with Tom Holland is not available in all countries where Netflix is present – in the United States, for example, the film can only be viewed on Spectrum streaming demand. But, connected to a cable TV operator. There are also no on-demand services away from home – it’s only available for lease.
Despite being part of the MCU (Marvel Cinematographic Universe), Holland’s Spider-Man feature films are not on Disney+ because they are distributed by Sony. Since the producer does not have his own streaming, he can negotiate for the rights of the films with those interested.
