Earlier we used to post about popular movie leaks as separate posts on this blog. However with so many release blogs around (which are often faster than us), we figured this had little use to our readers. So now we only update via Twitter when hit movies are leaked on BitTorrent. Anyway here is a little heads up on several Hollywood blockbusters that would most probably hit torrent sites (DVD quality copies that is, not CAM or TS) in the months of August/September 2009. This speculation is based on the fact that DVD for region 5 (R5) release dates for these titles are scheduled for the next two months.

August 2009

  • I Love You, Man (2009) - August 11
  • Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) - August 13
  • Killer Bean Forever (2009) - August 13
  • Terminator Salvation (2009) - August 20
  • Funny People (2009) - August 25
  • The Boat That Rocked (2009) - August 25

September 2009

  • All About Steve (2009) - September 3
  • Fighting (2009) - September 8
  • Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past (2009) - September 8
  • The Invention of Lying (2009) - September 8
  • This Side of the Truth (2009) - September 8
  • District 9 (2009) - September 10
  • Inglourious Basterds (2009) - September 15
  • State Of Play (2009) - September 22
  • Aliens in the Attic (2009) - September 24
  • They Came from Upstairs (2009) - September 24
  • Monsters VS. Aliens (2009) - September 25
  • Observe And Report (2009) - September 29
  • Young Americans (2009) - September 29

Note that the above mentioned dates might not always be 100% accurate. Sometimes the release date is postponed and sometimes leaked copies make it into BitTorrent even before an official release is made ( as you can see from Ice Age 3).

If you don’t know what an R5 is, it’s a DVD release for region 5 (most of Africa, Former Soviet Union, the Indian subcontinent, Mongolia and North Korea). R5 DVDs usually do not have English audio but groups who release pirated versions make it a point to embed an English audio stream from a previously released TS or CAM. This means an R5 has almost the same video quality as a DVDRip but lower sound quality [Read more about R5 on Wikipedia]. 

And it was heartbreaking to see that I have to wait till November for Transformers 2 R5 to be released.

    Alright. If you wanna' be technical, then yes, they haven't all been released as R5's yet. But they're all near DVD quality.

    Searles,
    Relax dude. I wasn't being technical i merely pointed that out since some readers might search for R5 rips of those titles and end up downloading fakes.

    These are just estimates and are not always correct. This gives you a general idea of when the R5 will be out.
