The Cristal must have been o’erflowing the pimp cup over at Warner Brothers HQ last week as the news came through. According to a report by TorrentFreak, Project X — their anti-establishment, damn-the-man ode to anarchy in all its myriad forms — was the most pirated movie of 2012 by a considerable margin. And as I’m sure Warner Brothers CEO Barry Meyer will agree, the film couldn’t ask for a more fitting accolade. After all, Thomas, Costa and J.B. were hardly the type of kids to drop fifteen dollars on a fucking ‘Triple Play’ Blu-ray when The Pirate Bay is right there and over 6000 people are working hard to keep Nima Nourizadeh’s almost-classic seeding.
Here’s a full rundown of the films nobody wanted to pay for this year:
| Film | Illegal downloads | Worldwide gross | |
| 1 | Project X | 8,720,000 | $100,931,865 |
| 2 | Mission: Impossible 4 | 8,500,000 | $694,713,380 |
| 3 | The Dark Knight Rises | 8,230,000 | $1,081,041,287 |
| 4 | The Avengers | 8,110,000 | $1,511,757,910 |
| 5 | Sherlock Holmes 2 | 7,850,000 | $543,848,418 |
| 6 | 21 Jump Street | 7,590,000 | $201,585,328 |
| 7 | The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo | 7,420,000 | $232,617,430 |
| 8 | The Dictator | 7,330,000 | $177,547,352 |
| 9 | Ice Age: Continental Drift | 6,960,000 | $875,093,094 |
| 10 | Breaking Dawn — Part 2 | 6,740,000 | $712,171,856 |
Note also that Project X is by far the lowest grossing film on the chart. Punk rock, man, punk rock.
