Such activity would certainly invalidate claims that each download equals one ticket sale lost. ( Deadpool went unreleased in China, one of the biggest movie markets outside of the United States, which may have led to bigger download numbers than usual in that country.) A single torrent user may have downloaded multiple file versions of the same film looking for the best quality version.

The most recent film on the list, Suicide Squad, hit theaters in August, meaning Deadpool had nearly a six month head start on it.īit Torrent ranked the films “based on several sources, including download statistics reported by public BitTorrent trackers.” They avoided attaching specific download numbers to each film, citing “Due to various changes in the torrent index/tracker landscape.” As in years past, this annual ranking tends to skew towards films that have been out for longer. According to download news site Torrent Freaks, Deadpool was also the most illegally downloaded film of 2016.Īccording to the site, pirated copies of the movie began to appear on line for downloading almost as soon as it premiered in theaters last February. But there’s another year end list that the film has also made. The Ryan Reynolds-starring comedy also made a number of critics lists for being one of the best genre films of the year. Аудио: 48 kHz, MPEG Layer 3, 2 ch, ~192.The comic book adaptation Deadpool was one of the top grossing films of the year, taking in $363 million at the domestic box office.
