'127 Hours' is This Week’s Most Pirated Movie

It’s been surprising to see the Danny Boyle directed, James Franco-starring 127 Hours get pretty much shut out of major awards nominations, such as yesterdays DGA nominees.  It’s a visceral, well-made film, and Franco’s fantastic in it, so given that it’s Boyle’s follow-up to Slumdog Millionaire, I was expecting more awards talk.

Well, Boyle and Franco can take solace in the fact that 127 Hours is the week’s most pirated film, with more downloads than flicks with far wider audiences, like Little Fockers and True Grit


Here are the week’s most illegally downloaded movies, courtesy of torrentfreak:

   1.127 Hours

   2. Megamind

   3. Little Fockers

   4. Inception

   5. TRON: Legacy

   6. Ultramarines

   7. Death Race 2

   8. True Grit

   9. Saw 3D

  10. Tees Maar Khan

While 127 Hours hasn’t been snatching awards up like The Social Network, don’t count it out at the Oscars. 

Are you surprised to see the survival tale topping the week’s torrented movies?  To what can this sudden jump be attributed?
