If WB ultimately kills it, I hope it leaks and it's pirated far and wide.

I don't pirate movies, but I would for this one. What damages could they even possibly claim?

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 7 points 8 months ago

Is it even pirating at that point? WB gets their tax write off regardless. At least the artists work gets to see the light of day.

Honestly, in such cases there should be a requirement that the movie becomes public domain. The taxpayers are paying for it (through lack of tax income), the studio cannot make money from it, actors that expected loyalties are royally screwed anyway, and those who expected promotion got the worse deal of all.

Even fit WB it would be a PR win. I don't see how they benefit from hoarding, if anything they look even worse.

It almost definitely won't leak. I don't believe a major unreleased movie has leaked ever.

I watched a studio copy of Ford vs Ferrari months before it hit theaters. They definitely leak.

I know it's not the case, but imagine if this was the ultimate viral marketing campaign.
