I obtained a recent release (like, not even been 24 hours) and the quality is shitty. That’s normal, that’s expected, it’s probably someone with a camera in the movie theater. However I want to ask…

How long does it usually take however for pirate versions of movies to approach anywhere near streaming service quality?

    There’s been a few movies where it’s like almost instantly. Sometimes the screeners get leaked, and they tend to be higher quality. Final release quality is usually just before they start coming out for sale on the Google Play/Amazon stores, or when they start playing in the secondary market budget theaters. If you have one of those nearby, when you see they are playing the movie you are after, start looking for a higher quality dl
