KinoPoisk


KinoPoisk is a Russian online database of information related to films, TV shows including cast, production team, biographies, plot summaries, ratings, and reviews. Since 2018, an online movie theater with several thousand films, TV series, cartoons, including premieres and exclusive ones, has also been available.
In 2013, KinoPoisk was purchased by Yandex, one of Russia's largest IT companies. In 2015, KinoPoisk underwent a total redesign. However, the new design was met with strong criticism by both users and the media for its inferior functionality and slower loading time. Within four days Yandex reverted the site to its former design that remains in use to this day.
At the moment it is one of the most popular movie portals of the Runet, it occupies the 12th line in Alexa rating of Russian websites as of July 2019. The website has 93 million visits per month. Among the sites dedicated to films, it occupies the 3rd place in the world in terms of traffic, giving way to the IMDb portal and the Chinese Douban.
