A DVD-Screener copy of the highest-grossing film of all-time, Avatar, has hit P2P and torrents today, coming just a few days after Academy members received the screener from Fox.
Until today, telesync versions had been available, and total downloads were estimated at over 2 million just from torrent downloads. The first copy available was Avatar DVDScr xvid - IMAGiNE.

Yeah, unfortunately most of the encodes have bad frame rate/jerky video.
I think it would be ridiculous if they would cry out losses because of piracy...

Fox might complain, something along the lines of "It could have made it higher on the all-time list if it hadn't been pirated."
I'm not sure how "recent" these totals are but according to Box Office Mojo Avatar is currently sitting at number 21 and is about $28 million away from hitting #20, which will probably happen this week/weekend.
CNN.com's current main story is something Avatar-related. It's titled "'Avatar': How far from reality?", see here.

@rtm27, When I said "Avatar is currently sitting at #21..." that is on the list that is adjusted for inflation.
All current news of "Avatar is number 1 overall" is not adjusted for inflation.

@ pop smith
The numbers I posted are for worldwide. Some of the movies on the adjusted for inflation listing were not tracked worldwide, which is why their total is different than the US total.

How much do you think a movie like "Gone With Wind", (which I think is one of the highest grossing onse when "adjusted for inflation") would make nowadays? Probably not more than any other cheesy love story that's coming out and is gone in a weekend today...

As I've posted in other Avatar articles, it is impossible to compare Gone With The Wind, which is a classic from an era where movies where just getting started to Avatar, no matter how much tickets have inflated since then. Now the first Star Wars, on the other hand...

Also, cyprus, ViSiON release is rock solid, no framerate issues.

Maybe I am confused but I believe that half of the top ten have also have accrued their totals over several theatrical releases as noted by a little carrot next to the year.
So, just for fun, I chose to totally exclude those that had multiple theatrical releases according to BoxOfficeMojo and re-do the list as I believe this gives us a bit better picture of who is really the all-time champion:
1) The Sound of Music
2) The Ten Commandments
3) Titanic
4) Jaws
5) Doctor Zhivago
6) Ben-Hur
7) The Sting
8) Jurassic Park
9) Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
10) Avatar
If Avatar's current pace holds up (according to BoxOfficeMojo's numbers) it should pass up Fantasia (Currently #20) this weekend and Star Wars: Episode I on the proceeding weekend.

This article isn't about the "SCENE"...Read the article title "'Avatar' DVD-Screener hits P2P, torrents"
BTW, I agree that ViSiON is the best thus far.

Define DVD Copy. The actual dvd (as in perfect copy) or a HD cam rip?

None of the top five that rtm27 listed will be considered Classics in 20 years like Gone With The Wind and sooo many others of the 30?s thru 50?s. You can compare older movies like that without inflation due to the fact that they still hold up some 50+ years later. I personally don?t want Avatar FREE let alone paying $20 to go see it at the theater. It just shows how dumb society has become when horrible directors like Cameron put out this trash and the masses flock to it. Of the five that rtm27 listed The Dark Night is the only one halfway decent, but Christian BayHole totally sucks as an actor and is horrible as Batman, the rest of the cast of course was pretty good in that movie.

Of course, that's only your opinion, based on your tastes and biases...
