Matrix Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Six pirated movie screeners have leaked in the span of just a few hours. The screener dump includes a copy of Golden Globe winner 1917, one of the most prominent leaks thus far. Also notable is the involvement of the group TOPKEK, which hasn't released any screeners before. Earlier this week we reported that the number of leaked screeners was on the rise again after an all-time low last year. Over the past 24-hours, this number went up significantly with six new leaks bringing the total to 16. A pirated screener dump of this magnitude in such a short timeframe is something we haven’t seen before. What’s also new is that the release group ‘TOPKEK’ is one of the driving forces. Although TOPKEK is not new to releasing pirated movies, they haven’t gotten involved in leaking screeners in the past. The most prominent release is ‘1917,’ which won the Golden Globe for best film and received ten Academy Award nominations earlier this week. A screener copy of the movie was released by both TOPKEK and Hive-CM8. It’s likely that both groups obtained their screener copy from a separate source. The file sizes of the releases vary and, according to reports from users, the quality is not the same either. In their release notes, Hive-CM8 mentions that the movie has already generated enough revenue for it to be released in the open. “Gross is doing ok, so it’s ready to go,” the group writes. From the leaked screener Show screenshot Both TOPKEK and Hive-CM8 also released a copy of the biographical drama ‘Richard Jewell,’ another contender for the Oscars. The other four screeners that leaked all came from TOPKEK. These include ‘A hidden Life,’ ‘Color Out of Space,’ Dark Waters,’ and ‘Queen and Slim.’ The latter comes with the unusual ‘QuerySCR’ tag which suggests that the source of the screener copy may not be known. The Dark Waters release also stands out. It’s tagged as a 1080p release and is 33.7 gigabytes in size, considerably larger than the rest. Seeing this many leaks in the span of a few hours is quite unique. As far as we know, it has never happened before. This certainly makes it newsworthy and may also draw the attention of Hollywood and law enforcement. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishLionheart Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Don't I know it! I have tried posting links to newly-released films but I was told not to. Anyway, 1917 is an excellent film and will get some Oscars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
