Nearly 90% of Russian films flopped at the box office in 2025 — Of the 41 films released in 2025, only five managed to recoup their production costs. This figure is 10% worse than the results from 2024, indicating a sharp decline in audience interest in domestic cinema.
A load of incompetent nonsense. And what would you expect from a foreign agent press based in Amsterdam.

It is important to note that we are talking about films created with the support of the state, and not about all Russian films as a whole.
In general, the news looks like a fake.

I mean at least 80% of french movies bombed last year. And most of them had indirect goverment support. Most of spanish movies with government or regional support bombed if you try to use normal calcullations (2x budget). Or scandinavian.
Government support is a rather complicated business which is hard to understand for Americans, For example a special committee might decide to support a promising young filmmaker, or films with a special theme or audience. And usually you don’t need to recoup provided support. Of course connections and lobby play very important part with such decisions too.
