Avatar 2: The Way of Water leaked on torrent a day before its release

The sequel to Avatar named Avatar 2: The Way of Water is all set to release in India this Friday (16th December). However, a day before the movie could hit the theatres, it leaked onto various torrent sites and other networks that enable piracy. These sites include movierulez and others.

The movie is available in different versions of quality and file sizes ranging from 600MB to 4GB. While many versions are genuine, many have just been made available to load viruses, malware, and whatnot onto the computers of unaware individuals. Even the genuine prints are filled with advertisements and watermarks and don’t come in very good quality.

The first legitimate version of the movie showed up on torrent sites around 11 AM IST on Thursday, December 15 with the label “CAM” suggesting it was filmed with a video camera in cinemas. The movie has already been released in countries like Belgium, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Netherlands, and more. It is all set to be showcased on big screens in India, the US, the UK, China, Japan, and the rest of the world from tomorrow.

Some users who have come across this pirated version claim that the illegal rips have a permanent watermark for an online gambling and betting website. These seem to have been digitally inserted into leaked recordings. Thankfully the quality of all the rips available is terrible as there are issues related to sharpness, detail, color, contrast, cropping, and more. We will not post any of those screenshots as we highly condone piracy and would just advise all the fans to watch the movie legally when it releases in theatres near you.
