I was wondering what the popular 2010 searches were, though not on the Google search engine. I was wondering what people were searching for on the torrents. This follows up to my post about keywords people were using to find me.
So, I did manage to find a site that was referenced by Gizmodo, who I trust. The site TorrentFreak had a list of the top ten pirated movies of 2010.
The list is linked below, but I am not surprised that the most popular movie was Avatar. However, I was surprised that the movie Kick-Ass was second, though it was a low-grossing film. While Avatar made almost $2.8 billion, Kick-Ass brought in around $100 million. It's the second lowest grossing movie on the top ten list.
I was also surprised that Iron Man 2 was not higher up the list (it came in at number 5, after Shutter Island).
The sheer number of downloads (16.5 million of Avatar alone) makes it apparent why movie companies are trying to crack down. Then again, Avatar did make almost $2.8 billion dollars, so it is pretty doubtful the Internet cut in to the profits THAT much.
Kick-Ass and the Hurt Locker, on the other hand...maybe.

I'm surprised by Iron Man2 also. While I loved Shutter Island, it has less replay value than IM2. I'd figure with the wild success of IM1 some folks may have missed the sequel in theatres and want to torrents it.
Congrats to Dexter and its #1 pirated tv show status. That's what Showtime gets for having one show worth watching on their network ;)
