Russian online cinemas are always old movies and series, writes Kommersant.
The films The Mask, 1+1, Interstellar, the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the series Friends and Clone have disappeared from the Kinopoisk library. Previously, services have stated that requirements are not excluded due to the presence of a large number of resources.
The press service of Kinopoisk said that the disappearance of previously watched films and series is due to difficulties in renewing contracts with studios.
Acquisition of films or series in the catalog, video services sign an agreement with the copyright holder for the duration of the term. In the current environment, contract renewals take longer, for example, projects from studios such as Warner Bros. and Disney may indeed be temporarily available. This is a small part of the entire Kinopoisk catalog, but popular and loved by users and titles, we provide special interests and continue to expand interests.

Representatives of the service added that on August 22, Kinopoisk will host the premiere of the series House of the Dragon, a prequel to Game of Thrones.
Wink reports that rights holders rarely initiate early consumption of contracts. But in case of expiration, in some cases it will not be possible to include a new contract. [Коммерсантъ]
