Russians bootleg Barbie


And good for them.

The Russian news service RT is reporting that Barbie is freely available on rutube.ru, Russia's answer to YouTube. Dubbed in Russian. It's been shown in Russian movie theaters. One of the advantages of the switch to digital projectors. 

"The full 1 hour, 54-minute movie was uploaded to the video hosting site in 1080p quality and featuring a full Russian dub. The leak came a day before the film’s planned international digital release."

It wasn't being released in Russia anyway. They weren't going to make any money from Russian audiences.  It doesn't hurt Hollywood if they watch it for free if that's what you're worried about.
