OREANDA-NEWS The mass departure from Russia of the "grandees" of world film production, primarily the five largest Hollywood studios Warner Bros., Sony, Disney, Universal and Paramount, deprived Russians of the opportunity, at least officially, to watch new products and, in particular, to see those that became the highest-grossing in 2022. The Russian premieres of Batman sequels, animated Minions (Minions: Gruvitation), Top Gun (Top Gun 2: Maverick), Jurassic Park (Jurassic World: Domination), Fantastic Beasts (Dumbledore's Secrets) were canceled and other films that have collected millions of dollars in the global box office.

Will domestic film producers be able to ensure the occupancy of cinemas on their own and deliver releases to the market in the required volume? Probably not yet. Ticket sales for Russian premieres and earlier accounted for a little more than 27% of the market. And for the full development of film distribution in Russia, it is necessary that a premiere capable of collecting more than 1 billion rubles be released on the screens at least once a month. This is not expected from Russian films that are preparing for release.
