More Pirated Movie Screeners Leak Online

After weeks of anticipation, more pirated copies of awards screeners began appearing online this week. With leaked copies of Arrival, Hidden Figures, Patriots Day, Moonlight and La La Land, it appears that the pirate "screener season" is properly underway.

Towards the end of the year, movie screeners are sent out to industry insiders who have to cast their votes for the Oscars and other awards.

 

Usually, quite a few of these films start to leak on various pirate sites around Christmas, but this year it remained surprisingly quiet.

 

In fact, it took until early January before the first pirated screener showed up, a copy of the Denzel Washington movie Fences.

 

While the slow start remains largely unexplained, it appears that at least some pirate groups have become a bit more cautious with their release strategies. The infamous Hive-CM8, which put out the lion’s share of screeners last year, said it would no longer release any films before their theatrical release, for example.

 

Cautious or not, this week the screener ball started to get rolling again when five DVD screeners appeared online. ‘Hidden Figures’ and ‘Patriots Day’ were the first two to become available, followed by ‘La La Land,’ ‘Moonlight’ and ‘Arrival’ this weekend.

The copies were released and distributed by various P2P pirate groups, not just a single source. The most popular Arrival copy is tagged by the unknown group “4rrived,” for example, and Hive-CM8 is also back in the game with screener copies of La La Land and Moonlight.

A few weeks ago, Hive-CM8 said they were ready to release screeners and a few hours ago they uploaded their first copy of the year.

 

“Finally first quality release, we do think this is a hot title and we decided to share it with the public,” the group writes in the release note of La La Land.

 

While some people believe that the group already has access to additional disks, they are still in the market for more material. They hope that insiders with access to screeners are in a sharing mood.

 

“We are looking for the guys sitting at home with all the 30 discs and posting pictures all over the net, but not sharing with anyone. Not sure why you are hiding it can be done safe and secure, for private viewing only if requested. Just msg us if you need help, we dont bite.”

 

Pirates will certainly welcome all the activity, but it’s unlikely that we’ll see a leak-fest similar to last year. Not from Hive-CM8 at least, who say that they don’t plan to share everything they have with the public this year.

 

It will be interesting to see how many screeners will leak during the weeks to come. With five releases so far this year, the leaked screener count is still at an all time low for now.

its been 6 leaked out this season  so  they cant even count. also in 2015 early 2016 they got really careless in years before they never leaked out tell January no how so now things are back to normal is all   i remember back when they banned warlord from ET for leaking internal DVDSCR from VIP  in p2p leaking them before they release them to the public will get you shunned  from p2p . The reason not as many dont leak as they use too why risk it when a R6 , HD itunes or blu-ray  is fixing too come out 

 

If BLU-Ray is fixing to come out in 30 days in better quality its not even worth leaking  if you watch DVDSCR  its best to look at the retail release date and at the end of DVDSCR season there more likely too leak movies that a better copy will be out soon.

 

 

Edit ; Arrival.2016.DVDScr.XVID.AC3.HQ.Hive-CM8 is out now it proper's that release by that new group  but retail  will soon be out for it

Arrival will be released on Digital HD on January 31, 2017  and on Blu-ray and DVD on February 14, 2017.

Most of the time the scene gets retail  2 weeks before it hits vendors  so the blu-ray  will be out  anywhere from Jan 31st-Feb 14th if not sooner lol.

Yes, I'll wait and see if the HD version is identical to the cinema version.

LOL - Not available in any cinema within 400 kilometers from where I live.
