It may not have broken any records, but the latest trailer for Sony’s Spider-Man spinoff Venom racked up 64.3 million views online in its first 24 hours – more than that of Warner Bros.’ Wonder Woman, which went on to gross over $820 million last year.
Now, no one is expecting Venom to do that kind of business, but the numbers must be encouraging for Sony, particularly after the disappointing reception to the first teaser trailer back in February.
According to The Wrap, views for the latest trailer were up 72% on the first teaser – a rarity, as views generally drop as subsequent trailers are released. Social media tracking on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Tumblr and YouTube also suggest that positive conversations were up 46% and negative conversation down 63% when compared to the teaser.
