Unfortunately, with regard to The Twilight Saga: New Moon, it's not always good news.
Among the top five most pirated movies of the year is New Moon, according to the BBC. The film is joined by Star Trek, Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, The Hangover, and RocknRolla on that list. Other films which were heavily pirated this year included Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and District 9.
While, from the looks of this list (and a scan of their situation in this year's box office), pirating did not hinder a strong showing theater sales, it's still not the most settling news that illegal downloading is one of the lists which New Moon tops this year. Though, it does speak highly of the interest surrounding the film . . .
What needs to be remembered, though, is that in order for pirated versions of a film to be made available on the web, a person has to actually go into a theater and break the law at the outset by recording the movie. This jeopardizes their liberty - all for the sake of saving the would-be viewer a few bucks. While a website which distributes the film illegally might be more difficult to ascertain and prosecute, a person sitting there in a theater with a video camera is highly accessible (as we have well seen).

I dont think they feel it at the sales office...because most people that download this film, also wanted to see the movie on the big screen...and probably will buy the dvd as soon as its out...
