10 Movies Leaked Before Their Release (Full & Partial Leaks)

With all the talk of the latest X-Men movie, X Men Origins: Wolverine, being leaked online a whole month before its movie release, take a look below for more movies that had film or art leaked from the production before the official release date.

1) X Men Origins: Wolverine 2009 movie leaked online (trailer below) - X Men Origins: Wolverie was leaked online a whole month before its release.

It is not yet known whether this will affect the film’s box office. The general concensus is not, as incomplete movie SFX left theatre goers hungry for more.

2) Hulk 2003 movie leaked online (trailer below) - The Hulk was leaked online two weeks before its release. 

The Ang Lee-directed film still managed to open with a $62 million weekend. A week later, though, it experienced a 70 percent box-office drop and went on to be a financial failure (which probably had less to do with the leak than with the film being poorly received by both critics and moviegoers).

3) Iron Man 2008 movie leaked online (trailer below) - leaked before its release.

4) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull 2008 movie leaked online (trailer below) - leaked before its release.

Marketing relied heavily on the public’s nostalgia for the series, with products taking inspiration from all four films.

Anticipation for the film resulted in a legal dispute over an extra violating his non-disclosure agreement, and another man was arrested for stealing a computer containing various documents related to the project. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull went on worldwide release on May 22, 2008

5) Sex and the City 2008 movie leaked online (trailer below) - leaked in part before its release.

The rest of the movies are under the cut - JUMP to view the rest!
