These numbers were tabulated by piracy analytics firm MUSO. These are based on the numbers of the most-shared files between piracy peer-to-peer networks. James Bond to lose millions despite being highest-grossing film of 2021?

With theaters closed in certain parts of the world like China at 20%, and certain movies such as Disney films like Black Widow, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Eternals not being available -- it has resulted in piracy. 

As for No Time To Die, Daniel Craig’s last stint as James Bond started showing up as the top-torrented movie as soon as a clean copy of the film was made available. Meanwhile, a film like ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ is safe from piracy because its exclusive theatrical window is protecting it from being rampantly streamed.
