Sergei Bodrov – Jr. In the movie “Sister”

Russian cinemas are trying to solve the problem of “import substitution” with domestic premieres, special screenings and new Indian films. Spletnik has prepared a selection of the most interesting movies to watch on big screens in the coming days.

Batman is not coming back

After the start of special operations in Ukraine, Disney, Sony, Warner Bros., Universal, Paramount and Lionsgate left Russia. As a result, high-profile premieres of “Batman”, “Morbius” and “Doctor Strange” were cancelled. Hollywood blockbuster that remained at the domestic box office – “Uncharted: Not in the cards.” The film was in the top 3 of the Russian box office for nine weeks. Also in the cinemas of the capital you can watch the American science fiction action movie “Everything is Everywhere and All at Once”.

The owners of Russian cinema chains re-release cult Soviet films and classics of world cinema instead of high-profile American premieres. Russian, Indian and Korean premieres are also on the cinema screens. As a result, the movie theater schedule is tightly packed, but maintaining the box office revenues of the past is still an impossible task.
