Russians,
like their fellow fantasy fans around the world, have been waiting with bated
breath for the seventh season premiere of the “Game of Thrones” television
series.
For months television stations have been running through the series to
bring viewers up to speed. On Monday
it will air on television, a mere day after its premiere in the U.S., and on Monday
night — or rather Tuesday very early in the morning — it will air in a metro
station for an audience of lucky lottery winners.
If your
Moscow home television is the epitome of “small-screen” and you didn’t win a
ticket to the metro show, don’t despair.
You can see
the premiere on Tuesday evening on the really big screen at every one of KaroFilm’s
14 Moscow venues.
Most of the shows begin around 8 p.m. In some theaters the
show will be in large format 2-D or 3-D, or shown in VIP and luxury halls. All of the screenings will be dubbed in
Russian, so if your language skills are weak, watch in English on Monday and
come to see the dragons on Tuesday.

your ticket ahead of time (recommended), go to karofilm.ru and click on the
