    I pirated John Wick on a whim because I was a bored broke college student and saw Keanu Reeves in the lead role. The movie was already out of theaters by that point.

    I then introduced the movie to my friends, who all loved it. We then went on to see John Wick 2, 3, and 4 in theatres. I think I even saw 2 twice. And then when they rereleased the first movie for the 10 year anniversary, we paid to go see it again too.

    Piracy put John Wick on the map for 10 people and sold 40+ movie tickets.
