In the digital age, success is not judged by how much your film grosses but rather how often it gets pirated on the Internet (we kid of course). TorrentFreak, has released a list of this year’s top ten most pirated movies. It’s a bit of a surprised that the newest “Harry Potter” didn’t make the cut, and it’s probably no surprised that “Twilight” didn’t make the cut either. In the end, “Avatar” ended up breaking “Star Trek’s” original record of 10,960,000 as the most downloaded film in a single year, which is expected. I also feel bad for the 8,040,000 who saw “Clash of the Titans.” It was bad enough on the big screen, to have to watch it as a bootleg just adds insult to injury.
Avatar (16,580,000)
Kick-Ass (11,400,000)
Inception (9,720,000)
Shutter Island (9,490,000)
Iron Man 2 (8,810,000)
Clash of the Titans (8,040,000)
Green Zone (7,730,000)
Sherlock Holmes (7,160,000)
The Hurt Locker (6,850,000)
Salt (6,700,000)
