Forums - Movies & TV - TorrentFreak lists 2011's top ten pirated movies

I think these sorts of lists speak to the type of audience which pirates media content (primarily males age 18-30). If all of the people who pirated Fast Five in this list alone paid to see the movie instead, it would have been about another $100 million in box office gross. Insane.

Yeah but many of them probably went to see it in cinemas just because they dloaded it and liked it but wanted to see it in proper quality.

but therefore many watched the movie with friends so maybe they would have gone to the cinema together ;)  many share the movies with friends and whatever.

nobody can really say how many less went to the cinema because of pirating it's hard to say. i would only watch pirated movies when i don't want to see it in the cinema so i will be never a lost visitor for the cinema. but i don't pirate because movies i don't want to see in cinema don't interest me so much and i wait until i see this movie on pay-tv or so.

127 hours, King's Speech's presence can easily be understood because they didn't have a simultaneous WW launch and they had Oscar buzz, so the rest of the world wanted to see what all the fuzz was about. Can't explain why Fast Five is number 1 though. A lot of car nuts on torrent sites?


Probably because you chaps in Iceland get dvd/blu-ray releases before most of the world. :-p, Thor And Fast Five were already released on blu-ray in Iceland before I could theoretically even download the dvd/blu-releases.

127 Hours & Sucker Punch is a shame though, deserved more sales because both were fairly good. Don't really care if Transformers is downloaded a lot for example, movies like that make more money than that they're worth.

I myself did really like Fast Five though.

I couldn't resist.

Ouch Fast Five that was a good movie.

there is very little exceptions, there is one movie i had to , because i could not find a single copy wheels of terror , besides that I buy my stuff and that movie only came to VHS so ya i was not going to pull out the clunky old VCR for one movie.

 

Not only that but to buy a used copy off amazon it was $49.99  (VHS)    and this movie came out in 1990

I feel sorry for Rango, 127 Hours and Source Code.

Everything else deserves to be pirated.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
