Basically, not every screener leak is an Academy screener... It may be a screener sent months before Oscar time to critics, distributors, or judges for other awards. </p> <p>The "Screener Release" column is the date that an Academy member <a href="http://kenru.net/movies/2008-9_academy_screeners.html" rel="nofollow">received his screeners</a>, and the "Screener Leak" is the date that <strong>any</strong> screener first leaked to the Internet.</p> <p>The piracy scene almost never states where the screeners come from, so it's impossible for me to tell whether the leaked screener was an official Academy screener or not. On my Statistics sheet, I try to make a best guess by only counting screeners that leaked online after the official Academy screener date. (There was an error in my "# Academy screeners leaked (probable)" column, which is now fixed.)</p> <p>Only 93 out of 165 screeners were leaked after the Academy screener release date, so there should be a total of 72 screeners that were leaked on or before the date Academy screeners were received. </p> http://forums.flowingdata.com/topic/visualize-this-piracy-for-oscar-nominated-movies#post-367 Fri, 30 Jan 2009 11:58:19 +0000 hadley 367@http://forums.flowingdata.com/ <p>I just re-read my question and it's not clear - I meant screener leaks before the _screener_ was released. </p> http://forums.flowingdata.com/topic/visualize-this-piracy-for-oscar-nominated-movies#post-365 Fri, 30 Jan 2009 09:44:46 +0000 ryanNY 365@http://forums.flowingdata.com/ <p>It happens more often than you would think. Movies like Curious Case of Benjamin Button come out so close to the Oscar cut off, that their screeners are out a month, sometimes two before the film is in wide release. </p> <p>It also happens a lot when films are released internationally first. Films like "Taken" which is just hitting theaters today have been available on Blu-Ray since mid-October and had their screener pirated last April. </p> http://forums.flowingdata.com/topic/visualize-this-piracy-for-oscar-nominated-movies#post-356 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 20:45:22 +0000 hadley 356@http://forums.flowingdata.com/ <p>And there are 56 movies with leaked screener before they were released.

I'm a huge fan of the FlowingData community's past work, so this is very exciting for me. If there's any questions you have about the data, or additional information you'd like in the spreadsheet, let me know.
