'Dnevnoy dozor' (Day Watch) leads record Box Office

I'm currently in the midst of either bribing my DVD Dealer to ship over an import of "Day Watch" or taking a plane to Russia to view "Day Watch" and neither plans are working well, since I'm poor, and plane tickets cost a lot, and perhaps watching the film in its home country will lack subtitles, but I digress.

I really loved "Night Watch" even if it was awfully difficult to understand in certain moments, and Tiger and Bear were utterly underused, but I've hoped and waited for "Day Watch," wishing to almighty Zod that it will be just as good, or perhaps better.

For those who may not have remembered, "Night Watch" was a dark and utterly elaborate horror-fantasy epic set in the city of Russia that involved mid-dimensions, a large funnel, vampires, shape shifters, and the struggle for a young boys soul that lead to a utterly dark cliffhanger.

"Night Watch" is also in talks to be remade by FOX, and likely fueled into the blockbuster machine sometime in the U.S., but updates on that faded long ago.

To make it worse, news has arrived that the sequel "Day Watch," has currently broken Box Office Records in its home land grossing over $34 million since its January 1st 2006 premiere. The gross has surpassed the record grossing of the Afghan War epic "9th Company" which grossed $26 Million.

The series by Timur Bekhmambetov has accounted for a large sum of the grossing for Russia, CIS and Ukraine total 2006 boxoffice of $455 million, with newly combined distribution company 20th Century Fox CIS/Gemini breaking the $100 million ceiling to gross $106.09 million overall last year, representing a 25.7% market share.

It must be a impressive for them, because I have no idea what the last sentence means.

Meanwhile, the current high grossing foreign film is "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," earning $27.51 million in the CIS and Russia.
