Are those download numbers just US or worldwide? A lot of illegal downloading happens in the 2nd or 3rd world where the cost of a movie ticket is close to what people make in a day. Also, I still don't understand why Hollywood feels the need to stagger movie releases now that the internet exists. If someone in Bulgaria sees that a movie is out in the US, but won't get released in Bulgaria for another 4 months, they're gonna get it illegally because people hate waiting for shit.
