Vodorod, Art Pictures Studio, Hype Film, as well as NMG Studio and CTC, together with Sony Pictures, have made a decision to release the film Sputnik in a new digital format.

The movie will be premiered on April 23, at the same time on more.tv (part of National Media Group), Wink (Rostelecom) and ivi.

Earlier on, the theatrical release of Sputnik was planned for April, but due to quarantine measures aimed at control over spreading of COVID-19 and to recommendation of the Russian Ministry of Culture to suspend film screening starting from March 23, the film creators and producers decided not to suspend the Sputnik release in cinemas for an indefinite period, but to release it in online format.
