Russian Exhibitor Karo Teams with ADG Group to Operate Two Additional Moscow Locations

PRESS RELEASE

Russian exhibitor Karo has announced a deal with Moscow-based real estate developer ADG Group to jointly manage and operate two Moscow theaters previously run by CGV. These theaters, Karo Angara and Karo Salaris, continue to be owned by ADG Group, which in 2014 purchased 39 Soviet cinemas to be reimagined and renovated into comfortable, multifunctional local centers. The Angara cinema was relaunched in 2019 inside a large-scale, international-style mall, and the Salaris cinema is located inside the large-scale shopping and entertainment center of the same name, opened in 2019 in the southwest of Moscow.  

Karo Angara and Salaris will reopen on September 3, 2020 in time for the Russian premieres of Warner Bros.’ Tenet and Disney’s Mulan.

Paul Heth, Karo Group CEO said: “We are very excited to collaborate with ADG in bringing Karo ‘New Generation’ cinemas to Angara and Salaris,” adding that the deal “makes it possible [for] our team to provide a world class moviegoing experience to even more audiences in our core market of Moscow.  Moscow represents one of the top cities in Europe for both cinema admissions and box office. Our relationship for these new Karo cinemas with ADG will now bring us to 23 operating theaters in Moscow and allows us to further increase our market share leadership in this key region of the overall Russian theatrical market.”

Added Robert Mayson, managing director of ADG’s cinema business: “Having Moscow’s premier cinema brand as a partner to operate these two fantastic new sites is great news! From a strategic, operational, brand, and marketing capability, this partnership just makes a huge amount of sense for both sides. We expect these two sites to be the first of many as our collaboration grows. Large scale property developers like ADG rely on high-quality, respected brands to develop and sustain their business. This is a perfect example of such a relationship.”

Each Karo location has been reconfigured to allow for social distancing in the lobby and food and beverage sales area and separated and distanced seating in its cinema halls.  In consultation with local health authorities, Karo has implemented heightened cleaning procedures and elevated sanitation levels.

Cinemark Q3 Earnings Reports: CEO Mark Zoradi Speaks on “Dynamic Theatrical Windows,” the Success of Private Rentals

Many of the questions asked of Cinemark CEO Mark Zoradi during this morning’s quarterly earnings call were about streaming and theatrical exclusivity—leading the CEO to offer some updates on their evolving windows policy as well as clarify other points about the chain’s status moving into the fourth quarter of 2020. At AMC’s Q3 earnings call, held earlier this week, CEO Adam Aron touted the chain’s deal with Universal, which can see the theatrical exclusivity window for that studio’s titles shrink from the traditional 72 days to as little as 17 at AMC theaters. Cinemark, Zoradi announced, will join AMC in playing upcoming Universal and Focus releases The Croods: A New Age , Freaky , and Let Him Go when they open in theaters this month. Cineworld, owner of Regal, the country’s second largest chain, has made no announcements about reopening the bulk of their theaters in the coming weeks, though none of the handful of Regal theaters open in NY and CA list showtimes for Focus Features’ ...

Weekend Box Office Forecast: Will Come Play Dethrone Honest Thief for a First Place Halloween Debut?

The domestic market is grinding through what’s long been evident to become a slow portion of the theatrical reopening phase ever since major studios fled the fall season, delaying their tentpoles due to the effects of the pandemic. As October comes to a close, only one new film is heading into wide release this weekend: Focus Features’ Come Play . The PG-13 horror thriller is ideally timed for Halloween weekend with the holiday landing on a Saturday this year. Boasting a short 96-minute run time, the film’s accessibility is a strength as it aims to draw fans of the genre at the peak of spooky season. Come Play ‘s marketing footprint has been respectable for a non-major studio release (although Focus is parented by Universal). Social media metrics are modest, but the film has generated over 8 million views from its official trailer page on YouTube since debuting in late August. Current models suggest it should outperform fellow genre pic The Empty Man , which bowed to lukewarm results ...
