LOS ANGELES: Disney/Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame, poised to be the hugest movie opening in history, has hit piracy networks – two days before its US premiere – with a copy evidently recorded in a Chinese movie theatre now circulating online, according to a published report. Users in China began sharing a 1.2-gigabyte file of Avengers: Endgame on peer-to-peer piracy networks sometime between 4pm and 5pm China time on April 24, piracy-news site TorrentFreak reported. The pirated copy has since spread to English-language torrent networks, according to the report. Avengers: Endgame is slated to hit theatres in North America on Friday, April 26. Avengers: Endgame, which has clocked record ticket presales, is tracking for a phenomenal debut with a projected US$250mil-US$268mil (RM1.03bil-RM1.11bil) box office take in North America alone in the first three days of release.
