At one point last week, Torrent Freak said more than “65,000 users were engaged in transfers on a single torrent,” making the leak even more popular than the prelease of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Variety, quoting Excipio IT-Forensics copyright intelligence, said The Expendables 3 was downloaded via piracy sites 189,052 times worldwide over a 24-hour period, with 42,216 of those in the U.S. "Most private groups had it for more than 10 days, but again they were scared to leak it,” Torrent Freak was told before tracing the leaker back to a public posting on 4chan that was timestamped on July 14. Several pirate groups reportedly had copies of the movie since about July 15, but were too “scared” to leak it. The Expendables 3 cast, “featuring every action hero known to man," includes Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Antonio Banderas, Wesley Snipes, Dolph Lundgren, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford and Arnold Schwarzenegger. There hasn’t been such a high-profile film leak since 2009 when a workprint of X-Men Origins: Wolverine leaked online nearly a month before it was released in theaters.
Over 100,000 copies were downloaded in 12 hours, according to Torrent Freak that quickly jumped to over 200,000 in about a day and well over 500,000 now.
Instead the film is a high-quality version apparently ripped from a screening DVD. The Expendables 3 appeared online, but it’s not a shaky cam version because the movie is not slated to hit theaters until August 15.
