Russian viewers continue to explore new releases, despite any restrictions.
The Russian company F6, together with the publication Bulletin of the Film Distributor, presented the December ranking of films and series that were most often distributed illegally. The statistics reflect the number of copies found on the RuNet, including torrent trackers and pirate sites, and do not directly indicate the number of views.
The leader among full-length releases was the science fiction action movie "Predator: Planet of Death", which had not yet received an official digital release at the time of the chart. The second line was taken by the film "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery", released on Netflix on December 12. The top three is closed by "Now You See Me 3", which was released on foreign streaming platforms on December 16. It is noteworthy that in the top ten only the science fiction action movie "Alter" with Tom Felton is available for legal online viewing in Russia.
In the serial segment, "Stranger Things" predictably leads - the final season of the project still arouses great interest among the audience. The second place was taken by the horror film "It: Welcome to Derry", and the third position was retained by Vince Gilligan's drama "One of Many". The series "Fallout" took the fourth line, the interest in which was fueled by the release of the second season on December 17.
