TorrentFreak's most pirated movies list is an excellent gauge of popular movies, as well as the Hollywood zeitgeist. Strong women with guns are the new favorites in the list this week, including Jessica Chastain as Ava and Megan Fox in Rogue. They're joined by the sensitive gorilla Ivan in The One and Only Ivan, while super-powers-via-drugs action from Project Power remains the most downloaded film.


10. Sputnik This Russian horror movie involves an incident in space in the 1980s that impacts the returned cosmonauts and investigators here on Earth.

9. The Secret Garden A new version of the classic novel (the fourth on film) stars Colin Firth as the uncle taking in an orphan who finds a (SPOILER ALERT) secret garden on his estate.

8. Magic Camp Rival magicians compete to train newbies to win the Top Hat Competition. You can find this one on Disney+. Weirdly, it also stars Jeffrey Tambor, but lest you think all is forgiven, this film's been on a shelf since 2017.

7. Tesla Ethan Hawke plays Nikola Tesla in this IFC film, which premiered at Sundance and delves into his competition with Edison (Kyle MacLachlan) as each tries to get their electrical system out to the public.

6. The One and Only Ivan A Disney+ Original, The One and Only Ivan follows a CGI silverback gorilla raised by Bryan Cranston to be the star of the circus, yet he has the soul of an artiste. The animals can all talk; expect an escape and some Disney brand synergy.

5. Greyhound Tom Hanks is sad this movie bypassed theaters and debuted on Apple TV+, so maybe he'd be happy his WWII boat captain thriller is out there being pirated. Probably not.

4. Tax Collector Shia LaBeouf (a cannibal) is back, in a shoot-em-up film the LA Times calls “atrocious.”

3. Ava Jessica Chastain plays Ava, a seductive hit-woman with a chatty streak that gets her in trouble with the bosses, enough for her to become the hunted one.

2. Rogue No, it’s not about Marvel's X-(wo)man. Instead, Megan Fox is stepping up as an action/horror-film lead playing a mercenary who has to fight some lions.

1. Project Power The new Netflix Original, which could have been a summer tent-pole film, is about people who can get superpowers for an hour from a pill—but they don’t know what the power will be. It stars Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
