Despicable Me 3 has crossed $26m in Russia. Its legs were much better than Minions in this market. Almost a 3x multiple from its OW (which was $9.5m or so).

Minions' multiple was around only 2.1. (from 15m OW to 32m overall gross).

DM3 started its OW -40% from Minions OW.

Now it's only -18% in dollars from Minions and around -15% from Minions in local currency. Very good result.

Kingsman is at $10,2M, am I right? If that is true good number, first one erarned $12,6 according to BOM, pretty achievable

Actually the first one grossed $9.88 mln so the sequel is already well ahead in USD. Will pass the first in RUB later this week. BoM numbers are a  total mess.

Be interesting to see how "Death Of Stalin" does in Russia...if Vlad permits it to be shown.

Even if it were shown it'd be in limited release and the numbers would be nothing to write home about. Not to mention it'd be dubbed like 99% of movies are, and much of the humor would get lost in the process. Most obvious/likely scenario is that film buffs will torrent it en masse, no one else will know or care. 

 

Also, two things for general understanding, not necessarily directed just at you: 1) Putin doesn't make decisions about which movies to distribute or ban, the people creating controversies and looking to prevent movies from being shown are lower-level officials who either genuinely believe that "society" needs to be protected from their evil western influence or simply want to get their name in the news, or both; 2) "Vlad" is not a short form of Vladimir, and in fact is much more likely to be used as a name in Romania and Moldova than it is in Russia.

I still don't understand why Sasha is a diminutive form of Alexander or Alexandra, it's not even close ^^"

It's from the "sander" part of Alexander. The "Sa" plus the commonly used diminutive "sha" gives you Sasha. The same way you get Sandy in English. 

 

May not be obvious but it's still not as headache-inducing as Margaret > Peggy or whatever.
