Looks like a slew of movie screeners have hit torrent sites. This happens every year but these two haven't even hit theatres yet. You'd think this has to hurt their box office.
When are they going to figure out a better way to distribute these films for oscar consideration?

The copies of the films are among a slew of high-profile films that have been pirated as part of what has become known as "Oscar screener season" by those who copy, share and download illegal, pirated copies of films. While the makers of films like "The Walk," "Steve Jobs," "Creed," "Brooklyn," "Straight Outta Compton" and "Carol" will all be angry at their films appearing on dozens of torrent sites, it will be the release of "The Hateful Eight" and "The Revenant" over the weekend — and before the films are even in cinemas — that will cause the most consternation among Hollywood executives.
