Dangerous Women (TVP), which set a record with 2.1 m admissions during the first three weeks in cinemas and sold 2.791 m tickets in 2016, and also on Pitbull. New Order (Ent One), which sold 1.4 m tickets from 22 January 2016 through December 2016. 

Pitbull. The Last Dog is the second best opening for a Polish film in 2018, following Patryk Vega's  Women of Mafia (Vega Investments), distributed by Kino Świat, which had 684,000 admissions during its opening weekend of 23 February 2018 (ahead of Fifty Shades Freed).
