The Mosfilm Cinema Concern offered cinemas to re-hire their old films such as Viy, Courier, Stalker and others. It is reported by Interfax.

Recall that after the start of Russia’s military special operation in Ukraine, many Hollywood studios suspended the distribution of their releases in Russian cinemas. After that, the Association of Cinema Owners of the Russian Federation stated that it was afraid of losing up to 80% of its revenue due to the cancellation of world film premieres as part of the sanctions imposed against Russia, and asked for government support.
It was also reported that the losses of Russian film distribution in March 2022 alone could reach 5 billion rubles.
Meanwhile, some of the Russian cinemas are “redrawing” their posters in favor of domestic films, while others are reporting their closure.
