"In June, 'Undercover' and 'The Pirates' emerged as the most frequently viewed movies" or "Popularity peaked for 'Undercover' and 'The Pirates' during June"
In a recent report by Company F6, a cybercrime-fighting technology firm, a list of the most frequently distributed films on the Russian pirate internet in June 2025 has been unveiled. The list, though not exhaustive, provides valuable insights into the demand for popular movies in Russia.
Leading the pack is the crime comedy "Undercover" starring Bryce Dallas Howard and Orlando Bloom. This action-packed film, with its intriguing plot and star-studded cast, has clearly resonated with audiences, despite its unauthorised circulation.
The vampire thriller "Sinners" by Rayan Kugler, featuring Michael B. Jordan, ranks fifth on the list. With its dark and suspenseful narrative, it's no surprise that this film has found its way onto the list.
Another notable entry is "The Novice", a thriller starring Rami Malek, which claimed the second spot. Known for his gripping performances, Malek's portrayal in this film has undoubtedly contributed to its popularity.
The adventure action film "Source of Eternal Youth" by Guy Ritchie, featuring John Krasinski and Natalie Portman, is officially available in Russia on Apple TV+. Despite its legitimate availability, the film's allure has evidently extended to the pirate internet, securing it a place on the list.
"Follemente" (2025) and "Final Destination: Bloodlines" (2025) are also on the list, adding to the diverse array of films in high demand.
Interestingly, Wes Anderson's new film "The Phoenician Scheme" was the third most frequently distributed film on the list, indicating a strong interest in Anderson's unique cinematic style.
The presence of a film on this list does not necessarily imply millions of views, but it does signify a demand that pirates are eager to satisfy as quickly as possible.
It's worth noting that no direct data or official list is available for the pirate segment's distribution rankings with plot summaries and reviews for June 2025 in Russia. Piracy data tends to be private, decentralized, and not officially tracked in the public domain.
Despite the lack of official information, it's clear that these films have captured the attention of Russian audiences, demonstrating the enduring power of compelling storytelling and captivating performances.
