Okay so for context: I’ve never really downloaded movies right after release, the movies that I’ve downloaded were all released at least few months before the time of download, so I don’t know how movies releases work.
So when a movie is released, how long does it take for there to be a high-quality pirated version of it? I can’t seem to find the movie on an online platform even if I were to pay for it. Are movies exclusive to an actual theater when they first get released? Right now I’m searching for that movie that was just released and all I find is HDCAMs. Does this mean that someone just secretly recorded it in a theater?
Oh btw, the movie I’m talking about is about a scientist that was involved in (at the time) a secret government weapons program during WW2. The movie was released very recently. (Hey, I didn’t mentioned the name of the movie, I hope I’m not breaking the rules 😉)
Yep no magic to get movies early anymore, the people who upload them can get them when everyone else can.
Those pre-release DVD Screeners and early regional releases to compete with bootleg market are a thing of the past.
I found that Bluray rips can come earlier than the release date, but I assume that’s because of the time required to get the whole product supply chain up and running. And insiders can a copy of the physical disc early in that process. But for streaming, yeah same time as the rest of us.
