  a leak of the entire film could be a disaster. Lions Gate's Expendables 3 bombed in theaters when it was released
  in July after a high-definition version of the movie was posted on sites that traffic in pirated films

Expendables 3 was also awful -- X-Men Wolverine was leaked very early on, and went on to do extremely well. How a leak affects ticket sales is pure speculation, I wish 'journalists' would stop talking about the harm piracy does without any substantiation.
