I obtained a recent release (like, not even been 24 hours) and the quality is shitty. That’s normal, that’s expected, it’s probably someone with a camera in the movie theater. However I want to ask…
How long does it usually take however for pirate versions of movies to approach anywhere near streaming service quality?


I would wait until it’s out on physical or streaming tbh. Sometimes you get lucky and there’s a press or awards release before then, but they’re often annoyingly watermarked. Once it hits streaming you only have to wait as long as it takes for someone to rip it
Which is anywhere between 5 seconds and 10 seconds. At least for the popular content.
