MARTIN SCORSESE’S “The Wolf of Wall Street” and Disney’s animated fantasy hit “Frozen” were the two most pirated films of the year, according to a firm tracking illegal downloads.

    The list of this year’s 20 most illegally downloaded movies was compiled by piracy tracker Excipio, with the details widely reported Monday by trade media including Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.

    The firm tallied “torrent” downloads, where computer users illegally share movies and other media over the Internet, for the period from Jan. 1 to Dec. 23, according to Variety.

    Excipio said “The Wolf of Wall Street” was illegally downloaded more than 30 million times, while “Frozen” was pirated more than 29.9 million times.

    In third place was “RoboCop,” with a little less than 29.9 million illegal downloads, though this included both 2014’s re-booted version and the 1987 original.

    Space drama “Gravity,” directed by Mexico’s Alfonso Cuaron, was downloaded just under 29.4 million times.

    Popular among the pirated films were several superhero adventures, including “Thor: The Dark World,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and “X-Men: Days of Future Past.”

    Each of these racked up more than 20 million illegal downloads. Oscar winner “12 Years a Slave” was illegally downloaded 23.7 million times, while “American Hustle” and “Captain Phillips” were pirated 23.1 million and 19.8 million times respectively.

    HBO’s hit drama “Game of Thrones” continues to be the most popular TV show among illegal downloaders, with the series amassing more than 8 million downloads, according to a separate list released by tracker TorrentFreak.

    It has been the most popular pirated show for three consecutive years, and was followed by AMC’s zombie hit “The Walking Dead,” which saw 4.8 million downloads in 2014.
