“Maleficent” was down from its perch once again

We have a new ruler of the most pirated movies list. After “Maleficent” managed to take the lead once more, it’s now time for “Transformers: Age of Extinction” to take over.

This is the first new entry of the week and tells a lot about the interest people show in Michael Bay’s movies, even if this is the fourth in the series and has a completely different cast than the first three.

The movie isn’t at its first trip down this chart. In fact, back in July, an HDTS copy had emerged online and made it to the chart, although it never did reach the top position at the time. Obviously, pirates didn’t think that the copy had a high enough quality to bother watching it at the time.

“Edge of Tomorrow,” the movie featuring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, climbed one spot from last week and landed on number two, shows a chart published by TorrentFreak.

Coming up next is “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” which managed to jump from the ninth place to the third one in just one week, which is a pretty impressive feat.

Angelina Jolie’s “Maleficent” is far from being out of people’s preferences list. In fact, fans are still downloading the film from torrent sites at a high enough rate to keep it on the fourth spot this week.

John Ham stars in the second new entry of the week

The second new entry of the week is “Million Dollar Arm,” a Disney movie with John Ham, that tells the story of JB Bernstein, a once-successful sports agent who has a lot of competition to fight off.

“How to Train Your Dragon 2” managed to take the top spot a few weeks ago, but was dethroned quickly by “Maleficent.” Now, it dropped from the second spot to number six.

Emotional movie “The Fault in Our Stars” follows next, two spots lower than it was last week. The film is based on the same-name novel by John Green, which was published in January 2012.

“The Giver” is down four spots to number eight. This is yet another film adaptation after the book with the same name, which was published in 1993 by Lois Lowry.

The tale of “Godzilla” puts the latest movie at number nine. The film has been in the chart for over a month.

“Divergent” closes off the chart, keeping the same spot it had last week, proving that movies based on utopian novels are quite popular these days.
