In February 2023, “Cheburashka” took the first place among the most downloaded films from pirated sources on Runet. In this respect informs The Movie Distributor Bulletin, citing a study by Group-IB.
In second place was the movie “Scammers”, shot by A24 for the Apple TV video service. The three leaders were capped by the thriller “Crash” with Gerard Butler, which was released on January 26 and collected more than 160 million rubles in Russia alone.
The top 10 also include the drama Babylon, the comedy Naughty 2, the blockbuster Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the horror movies Mzgan and Kit, the thriller Menu, and the romantic comedy To You or Me?
It is noteworthy that the movie “Avatar 2: The Way of Water” disappeared from the rating, but in January James Cameron’s film directed it and did not allow Cheburashka to rise to the top. The editors of Film Distributor’s Bulletin attributed the change to the fact that everyone who wanted to watch the new Avatar had already watched it.
