Conspiracy theory?

Jeff Vice’s Saturday column in the Salt Lake City/Utah Deseret News offers up this interesting theory: ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ was leaked on purpose. The article cites a few factors surrounding the leak that Vice feels are suspicious, and mentions that public awareness of the movie was relatively low before it. Since the leak, the film has experienced a tremendous boost in media coverage and awareness. So I suppose the logic behind Vice’s ‘purposeful leak’ theory is that the studio feels the film's box-office performance will benefit more from the media blitz about the leak than it will be hurt by the leak itself.
