After Disney, Sony Pictures, Universal, Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. They stopped renting their releases in Russia, and also began to stop licensing for online cinemas, leading rims from the middle class began to join them.
The American-Canadian Studio Lionsgate, on the account of which the "Hungry Games" series, "Twilight", "John Piq", "get the knives", "drank" and other independent films, decided not to release their releases in Russia. The company's portfolio of projects is not so small, especially, taking into account the purchase recently, the Studio Library Spyglass Media.
The decision was made at the end of March 2022, but, apparently, it will take effect only in April. First of all, it will affect the premiere of the film "Unbearable gravity of a huge talent" with Nicholas Cage, who will not appear in Russian cinemas at the end of April.
The most successful releases of Lionsgate in Russia were "hungry games", "John Piq" and "Saw". Also, a good demand for the audience used the detective to "get knives". Spin-off "saws" was released last year, but the continuation of John Uir and the film "Get knives" is almost ready and go to world cinemas in a few months.
The contract for the release of films of the company in the Russian Federation was concluded with a large roller "Central Partnership", also engaged in the releases of Paramount Pictures.
Another important premiere Lionsgate this year should be the Borderlands action based on the game universe. The situation with it is even less defined. Initially, the right to release the paintings in Russia was at the MEGOGO rolling wing of the online cinema, which stopped working in the country. The Russian film division tried to reorganize in MD Film.
Up to this point, MEGOGO had a lot of rights to interesting newly innovations of this year, including a new film from Guy Richie and the Fighter "Expendable 4". Who, in the end, will be borderlands so far to judge early. Issues of resumption of Western companies in Russia are still solved yet in the economic plane.
Thus, "John PEC 4", "get the knives 2" and "Borderlands" can not get to Russian cinemas.
