Well it's still on circuit in a few places, so it's not released for home release yet? Though at the cost of 4k Blurays lately :-(

It's been released for home this morning - in full 720, 1080 and 4k.

But, that was not my point.

A copy leaked almost 2 weeks ago. A decent IMAX copy with subs. It has been the most downloaded file on the Internet the past 2 weeks.

They lost on huge revenue. That was my point.

Few will still go to cinemas. The biggest part of people already watched it the past 2 weeks in great quality. Some will be grabbing 4k today. The online streaming services will not be making the money they could have made if they released this movie 2 weeks earlier.

That is my point. If it was my movie and that copy leaked, I would have immediately released it digitally to counter the leaked copy.

That activity is illegal so whats the point? They were never going to make money from leechers.

Take the squeeze to an IMAX, have a cocktail afterwards and experience the big wide world.

Not a single paragraph in any of these acts or amendments outlaws downloading of movies, videos, games, music. Not a single paragraph in these acts and amendments outlaws the possession of pirated movies, videos, games or music.

Try again.

For your information, it does prevent the distribution of this content though.

Show me the section or sub-section you are referring to from the act and the amendments, outlawing downloading or possession.

Let me make it much easier for you....

Show me one single news article of a person who downloaded or streamed a movie in SA who was prosecuted or even arrested.

There were many arrested and successfully prosecuted for distribution. But, that is not what we speak about. Show me downloading and possession.

Then she must have been 14 to 16 in the first movie and Maverick was 23... Am I looking at this the wrong way.

I'm not sure you can base a character's age on the actor's real age.

Seen as though she wasn't in it it's tough to say. But we can do a bit of speculation. The youngest Admiral in the US Navy was 49 years old when he was promoted to the position. 1986 kids were born to boomers and most people had kids in their early twenties then (23 was the median age in the 1960s and 21 in the 1970s), even more so with military families (talking from an SA perspective). So an admirals daughter at that stage could be over 30.

Using Jennifers Connely's age wouldn't work as she just played a character in the new movie who we never actually saw in the first movie. The character could have been any age.
