BELGRADE: Domestic films continues to be the major draw in the case of Serbian cinemas. The latest in a long series, the action thriller South Wind 2 – Speed Up / Južni vetar 2 – Ubrzanje directed by Miloš Avramović, topped the 4 - 7 November 2021 weekend chart by a landslide, with impressive 115,227 admissions with 53 prints, grossing 443,788 EUR / 52,206,320 RSD. The local distributor is Taramount Film and the film is a Serbian/Croatian coproduction.
