Due to the fact that content in online cinema is consumed by immigrants from the former USSR, United by one language group, the views are caused by this characteristic. Of course, it is a “Union” classic (for example, “Ivan Vasilyevich menyaet professiyu”), international projects (such as “Masha and the Bear”, Masha e Medved) and the international blockbusters (for example, Kingsman: the Golden Circle).In the paid content users were watching new items (E.g. Matilda) and films from our Christmas collection (Home Alone). This content – blockbusters, comedies, family movies – has no nationality. Statistically the numbers of paid views are growing during the Christmas holidays, and this year was no exception for us; also the growth was due to the growth of paid models. In free videos the leaders are children’s animated series, films recommended by us and unchanged classic. Overall we are very positive about the “new year” statistics, despite the fact that the number of new products in online cinemas this year was significantly lower than in the past,” – said Elena Khlebnikova, the Director for purchase of content of tvzavr.
