Most pirated movies of 2015: Interstellar, Furious 7, Avengers top the list of illegal downloads.

Most Pirated Movies of 2015

The most pirated movies of 2015 have been revealed. It is the list that no movie studio wants to see any of their films featured on, and surprisingly this year’s pirated film countdown features films that have grossed the most money at the worldwide box-office in 2015.

The rankings for the most pirated movies of 2015 are based on total illegal downloads. Trade newspaper Variety report that the total downloads are alarmingly up this year. For example, last year’s most pirated movie, The Wolf Of Wall Street, attracted 33 million illegal downloads, while this year’s chart-topper Interstellar, had a total number of 46 million downloads globally. Now that’s seriously got to hurt your bottom line. Interstellar managed to make $675 million in total worldwide box-office gross from a budget of around $165 million, but up against 46m in downloads from people who couldn’t be bothered to pay to see the movie, the film could have easily have taken so much more.

If you look down the list, Terminator: Genisys features. That movie, slotted in at number 9, made just $89 million at the domestic box-office, which is just over half of its budget. With 31 million illegal downloads to its name, this was probably the reason why it didn’t do so well (that and very bad word-of-mouth at the time of release). The good news for Terminator: Genisys is that it did take a further $350 million around the world, so it did eventually turn a profit for Paramount.
