American Gangster leaked online one week before release

Most movies aren't released on the internet before they even show in the theater. Most of the time it takes a couple days after they're out in theaters before a cam shows up online. The release of quality downloads varies a lot from movie to movie, but it's usually ~ 2 months before the actual dvd release date.

This one will make a bigger impact then most because a quality version (or so I hear, haven't watched it yet) has been leaked before it's even in the theaters, but the impact will still be small.

Yeah, incidents like this are definately a bigger problem for the movie producers than some crappy cam release with spanish subtitels on the screen, people caughing into the microphone, heads moving around in front of the camera, etc turning up a couple days after the release (at which point the big productions usually have made a big chunk of their money already anyway).
