27 Jul – The upcoming all-star action sequel, "The Expendables 3" has been leaked online weeks ahead of its 14 August 2014 release.

The last time a big movie like this was leaked in high quality was "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" back in 2009, months before its release.
However the leak was that of the unfinished version of the movie. The current version of "The Expendables 3" that has been leaked online is the complete finished movie.
The first two "Expendables" movie were global hits, with "The Expendables" in 2010 grossing up to USD275 million and "The Expendables 2" in 2012 grossing more than USD300 million worldwide.

In Singapore, access to file sharing sites such as The Pirate Bay and Kickass Torrents have also been blocked by the government in line with the national Copyright Act.
