The Russian film 'The Tale of Tsar Saltan', based on the famous fairy tale by Alexander Pushkin, surpassed the one billion ruble mark in the domestic box office just ten days after its release. The statistics are confirmed by data from the Unified Automated Information System.
Box Office Leaders
Over the past weekend, the film became the undisputed leader with a box office of over 330 million rubles. The second place was taken by the week's debutant — the film 'Beauty', which collected 83 million rubles, and third place went to 'King and Jester. Forever' with a result of 71 million rubles.
The high earnings of 'The Tale of Tsar Saltan' demonstrate that Russian fairy tales remain a sought-after foundation for feature films and possess great potential in the market.
Forecasts and Significance
Record earnings in a short time confirm the popularity of domestic fairy tale adaptations and indicate the prospect of further successful box office runs. Competitors have so far been unable to pose a serious challenge to the film and, according to experts' forecasts, are unlikely to achieve similar box office figures.
