Its not unheard of for some scene peeps to get access to the raw digital files played in some theaters. It's uncommon because of the difficulty in acquisition and then sanitizing it so they can't figure out who ripped it, but does happen.

comments for that torrent on ext.to include
Quality is pretty bad, something off about it does not look right with Russian subs for visual words burned it
Bad quality, not even FHD :(
Not completely clean of burned in Russian subs. Otherwise quality looks good
so good chance you got an ai upscaled russian camrip
Back in the early DVD days the studios would hand out DVD "screener" copies to film critics and magazines for reviews. They were often ripped and passed around when films were still in theatres. Often they had a watermark or subtitles in a different language but were otherwise top quality.
Now it doesn’t work like that anymore. They have a site a special code to watch the movie
Still happens for some cases like airplane movies. I know I've seen pirated movies that had the airline name pop up for a few seconds.
30 FPS would be a cam rip, no?
Just because they put webrip in the title doesn't make it so.
I would be a bit sceptical
My thoughts exactly, can't weigh an opinion on the quality unless I see it for myself.
Default audio is in Spanish although English is available. Some but not all on-screen text has non removable Russian subtitles baked into the video. Could be worse.
The Spanish sub&dub with on screen Russian is confusing
oh shit then it makes sense!
Russia is currently ignoring copyright. like. for real, so any breach is currently completely ignored there
if you have a good camera (2x number of pixels, and 2x colordepth than the movie), then you could make a camrip with perfect quality (assuming some calibration frames, and a cinema that gives no fuck). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist%E2%80%93Shannon_sampling_theorem
though I guess that's still too much effort for most, and most early leaks are digital copies, as the other comments suggest.
edit: newer comments suggest camrip with a bad camera
Would that be like on a tripod in the audience area recording the screen? Seems lossy somehow so I figure I'm misunderstanding. I'm pretty ignorant (~fully ignorant lol) about this, apologies, ya just piqued my curiosity.

yes.

it is! but that's where Shannon sampling theorem comes in. The sampling only needs to be twice as good as the source, and then you can reconstruct the source perfectly. (with some assumptions, e.g. correct color gamut, focal point, etc.).

Fun fact: this is how films get digitized, they play the film in a tiny movie theater just big enough for the camera. The whole apperatus is about the size of a washing machine
Wtf lol, that just seems so...low tech? I certainly can't think of a "better" way to do it, guess I imagined some fully enclosed (or maybe that's what you're describing).
It's like finding out almost all power generation is really just different ways of boiling water lol
Scanner is technically the same, it just bounces light off the object, rather than shining through it.
Hell 3D scanning is pretty cool and what I'd consider high tech, but it's still just bouncing waves off things and recording those!
I guess there's no escaping the universal fundamentals, or the limits of our technology at least
I'm more confused by the cam capture listings dated 2025
This version has hard coded Cyrillic overlay for written text. If you can put up with that, then yes, it's a great 2160p copy.
Is it the one with hard coded cyrillic letters for english writing? That would give a hint about its origin.
Fetching the line audio from somewhere else could be much easier than the picture. Plus not all channels contain speech... so english 2ch could be sufficient if you got the other channels... elsewhere.
TLDR :no idea. :)
Probably telecine which is ripped right from the reel.
On another related note, dude that movie is one of the best I've seen in a long time.
