Unreleased Sony Pictures movies were stolen and made available on torrent sites after hack

Various still unreleased Sony Picture movies have started to propagate torrent sites as a result of a recent hack into Sony Studios' system.

The movies include Annie, Fury, Mr. Turner and Still Alice are reportedly of high quality and possibly to be used as screeners for upcoming award shows or for advance reviews. Many of these films haven't even hit theatres yet and a leak of this magnitude could potentially affect box office sales in what has already been a lukewarm year for feature films. Nobody has come forward to claim responsibility for the theft but the same hackers that took down Sony's computers last week are being cited as the culprit of this massive leak.
