Surprised?
Torrent Freak reports that Project X was the most pirated film of 2012 with almost nine million downloads. It passes up Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol and The Dark Knight Rises.
There is no change in the total number of movie downloads compared to last year.
Project X is the lowest-grossing film in the top ten as it only made $100,931,865. Some noticeable films that weren't pirated as much include The Hunger Games and Skyfall. Skyfall's pirated copy is lower quality, which explains it's exclusion.
