The Russian adaptation of 'Tale of Tsar Saltan' has achieved an impressive box office milestone. The film earned a billion rubles just ten days after its release.
This adaptation of Alexander Pushkin's classic work has joined the 'billionaire' club in domestic cinema. Statistics from the Unified Automated Information System confirm this success.
Over the past weekend, 'Tale of Tsar Saltan' was the undisputed leader, earning over 330 million rubles. This is an impressive result for a new film.
The second place in earnings went to the debut film of the week - 'Beauty', which collected 83 million rubles. The third place was taken by 'King and Jester. Forever' with a result of 71 million rubles.
Both of these films failed to pose a serious challenge to the box office leader. Given the start of their runs, they are unlikely to contend for high box office earnings.
The potential of Russian fairy tales as a basis for feature films seems far from exhausted. This opens new horizons for filmmakers.
