Zhurova explained why in Russia a film about Rodnina in Russia “failed with a bang”: “I was a hero and an idol, but …”

The 2006 Olympic champion in speed skating Svetlana Zhurova explained why the film “Rodnina”, shot through an autobiography of the three -time Olympic figure skating champion Irina Rodnina, failed in Russia. Rodnina’s filmmaker took place on March 6. This week, May 1, the Forpost portal released the material under the loud heading: “One and a half people per session: why the film“ Rodnina ”failed with a bang. The material notes that the Rodnina film with a budget of 425 million state rubles for incomplete two months with difficulty managed to earn 205 million rubles. At the same time, at the end of March it was reported that “Rodnina” was discovered “Fantastic Bloopers”: “In the anti -rating of films about sports, he will be in the top.” “I admit that the small box office collection of the film about Rodnina is not very,” said Zhurova in an interview with Sport24 andrei Babich. “I haven't seen her anywhere.” Perhaps regretted [средства]. Because I really, really liked the film: the effects are good and the plot. It is clear that films about football or basketball, in any case, will cause more interest, because there are more fans. Film watched with admiration and interest. Perhaps I perceive this differently, because for our generation Rodnin was a hero and an idol, but for young people this is far away. And maybe the period is such that the lull in cinemas. With the advent of resources for watching films, many began to watch at home. Such films do not very actively go to the cinema, because it is more for family viewing of the house. Those who recommended the film said: “Cool, thank you for the idea. We will look at the weekend of the house with the family. ”I don’t think that the sports genre has died. It's just a movie for family viewing at home. There are no special effects that require a large screen. Perhaps that is why a small cash fee. They will not stop making such films. In any case, you need to make a movie about heroes. Perhaps the film will get his own when they begin to show it on TV. I would like this, because the film is worthy. ”
