TorrentFreak's most pirated movies list is an excellent gauge of popular movies, as well as the Hollywood zeitgeist.
Strong women with guns are the new favorites in the list this week, including Jessica Chastain as Ava and Megan Fox in Rogue.
They're joined by the sensitive gorilla Ivan in The One and Only Ivan, while super-powers-via-drugs action from Project Power remains the most downloaded film.

Tom Hanks is sad this movie bypassed theaters and debuted on Apple TV+, so maybe he'd be happy his WWII boat captain thriller is out there being pirated.
