I downloaded the movie after seeing it in theatre to once again enjoy it from the comfort of my home. Seeing 2160p, I thought it’s going to be a webcam rip but the title says webrip. Where is this leaked from that has Dolby Vision on a movie still in theatre?

    Back in the early DVD days the studios would hand out DVD “screener” copies to film critics and magazines for reviews. They were often ripped and passed around when films were still in theatres. Often they had a watermark or subtitles in a different language but were otherwise top quality.

        I’m currently helping organizing a film festival and it basically works like this. We got hundreds of password protected links to movies for screening, most of them on vimeo. I wouldn’t hand them out though because these are all small productions.

      Still happens for some cases like airplane movies. I know I’ve seen pirated movies that had the airline name pop up for a few seconds.
