Total Downloads: 30.9 million It's little surprise that the hyper-kinetic stylings of Matthew Vaughan did so well on the torrenting front, given that it was one of the most entertaining action flicks of 2015. Having been released in January, Kingsman: The Secret Service has hung on in the pirategeist for almost an entire year to warrant inclusion on this list (which is impressive in itself). The word-of-mouth on Kingsman is most likely responsible for its not-inconsiderable worldwide box office takings, as well as its popularity on the piracy front. Those who did catch the film in theaters will have reported back that it's a fantastic spy movie that lovingly sends up the genre whilst giving audiences something new and refreshing to chew on. The film was definitely a satisfying hit for 20th Century Fox, at least, returning over 5 times its $81 million production budget - it's just a shame that piracy may have had an effect on its worldwide total gross, as it's a film that really deserved to do even better.
