JANUARY, FEBRUARY IN CINEMAS
The beginning of 2022 in Polish cinemas was very good! 47 films had their premieres and the first attendance records were set. We were also eager to watch titles from the end of 2021, including last year's number 1, or "Spider-Man: No Way Home".
Polish viewers do not cease to surprise! They have already set the first attendance records this year. Animation from UIP – "Sing 2" can boast the best opening since the beginning of the pandemic, i.e. from March 2020. It reached 480,000 viewers during the first days of its premiere.

The TOP 10 movies of the first two months of this year were influenced by the holiday season. Apart from the animation "Sing 2" there were two more titles addressed to younger viewers: "Our Magical Encanto" and "Nikolai's Treasure".
