After weeks of waiting, the pirates can celebrate, as the first pirated copies of awards screeners. Μετά την διαρροή των πρώτων Arrival, Hidden Figures, Patriots Day, Moonlight και La La Land αναμένονται περισσότερες ταινίες. Στο τέλος κάθε έτους, τα screeners αποστέλλονται σε insiders της βιομηχανίας του θεάματος για να ψηφίσουν για τα Oscars ή και άλλα βραβεία.
Typically, several of these movies begin appearing on various pirated sites around Christmas, but this year there was no move.
In early January, however, the first pirate screener was released, with a copy of Denzel Washington's Fences.
It seems that some of the well-known groups that leak the movies become a little more careful with their release strategies. The famous team Hive-CM8, which released most screeners last year, announced that no more movies will be released before their theatrical release.
But this week the screeners started appearing and the first five DVDs are already out online.
The first to appear was Hidden Figures and Patriots Day. La La Land, Moonlight and Arrival films ended last week.
