It can if people would stop buying their garbage and enact stiffer penalties for those who sell the early copies to pirates, for the pirates who sell the film, and the customers who buy the film knowing it's a pirate copy.

How exactly is this possible with seeds and sources scattered around every corner of the globe?
Perhaps this is the new way of life. Those Hollywood execs and film folks need to come to terms with the fact that their party is beginning to be over.
Perhaps they don't really deserve those million dollar paycheques and the opulence and paparazzi baloney that ensues? They will slowly come down to earth in the coming decades.
Piracy cannot be stopped. This is the digital age. Information cannot be stopped from being shared. It's getting nearly impossible.
There will be a day when noone needs a movie theatre They can project a giant virtual screen on air in the midst of homes and apartments and get the same effect.

Well, if you know where to look, you can download screeners that are a high quality completed film that was leaked by someone who works for the studio itself. So until you get to the point to where NO ONE even has access enough to get an early copy and upload it online, with the digital age, no, it can't be stopped. Look at what happened with digital music downloads and Napster. Legally downloading music is now a way of life. We're already doing it for tv. It's just a matter of time.
The entertainment industry needs to adapt and change how they do business. There is no way to enforce copyright and until they come up with a better way to sell their products piracy will continue to be a problem for them. I seriously doubt it is really cutting into their business though as much as they claim.
EDIT: Screeners and early release leaks can be helped by increasing security and accountability but really it wouldn't be cost effective to try stopping it entirely. As for once it is in the wild (DVDs, pay per view, cable, etc) there is no way to regulate that. If it is available it will be copied and distributed.
