Following the first 3 weeks of theatrical release in China, the detective action film "Red Silk," produced by Nota Bene Film Group and National Media Group, entered the top 5 films by box office revenue in Chinese theatrical distribution. Recall that the film's premiere took place on September 4 in Beijing, and its wide release across the country began on September 6.
During this time, the film has collected more than $1.5 million at the box office and provided worthy competition to Chinese films. The film's screening will continue until October 10.
During the first screening weekend in China, the film's box office revenue amounted to several hundred thousand dollars.
The film's distributor in China is the largest film corporation China Film Group. In China, the film received national status.
Screenings in China are being held including with the use of CINITY technology, which is gaining wide distribution in the country. Recall that this is a technology that allows viewing films at a speed of 120 frames per second (compared to the usual frequency of 24 frames per second), which in turn makes the picture super-realistic and provides complete immersion in the action.
To date, "Red Silk" is the largest Russian-Chinese co-production film, however, filming of the second part has already begun. This winter, work on "Black Silk" will start in China. The pre-production and filming period for the film has already begun: several scenes were shot in Vladivostok, with an expedition to China ahead. The release is scheduled for February 2027. New trials await the characters of Miloš Biković, Gleb Kalyuzhny, and Zheng Hanyi. New faces in key roles will also join the cast. Thus, Maxim Matveev, already announced in the finale of "Red Silk," will return in the major role of Richard Sorge. Other characters and actors are still being kept secret until the main part of filming.
Events will unfold several years after "Red Silk" and will take place in several countries simultaneously. Like the previous work, this film will be created at the intersection of several genres - from adventure escapades in the style of "Mission: Impossible" to detective action.
The distributor will be "NMG Kinoprokat" (part of the "National Media Group" holding). Production is being handled by Nota Bene Film Group and NMG.
"Black Silk" will also have international status and will be filmed in several countries simultaneously.
