History
The Premier Zal cinema chain began in 1998, when its first cinema opened. Over the following decades the brand expanded across Russia; by the time of the company's own account on its website, the network comprised more than 300 cinema sites nationwide. The chain developed a standardised venue concept combining modern projection and sound technology, comfortable seating and expanded food service, and it also positioned its cinemas as local cultural venues hosting events beyond film screenings. Premier Zal Granat is one of the chain's cinemas in Yekaterinburg, a major city in the Urals and the administrative centre of Sverdlovsk Oblast. The venue appears in the chain's online ticketing platform, where it is listed alongside other Yekaterinburg locations such as Premier Zal Omega and Premier Zal Park House. Through that platform, the Granat venue publishes daily showtimes, film titles, genres, age ratings and ticket prices, and it participates in the chain's advance-ticket sales for upcoming releases. The website and CRM system serving the chain, including the Granat venue's pages, are operated by ООО «Бокс-Офиском» (Box-Ofiskom LLC), registered in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Yekaterinburg. The chain provides a unified information line, +7 343 3-726-726, and publishes its rules for film exhibition services, most recently dated 16 August 2021 (No. 1338). As part of the Premier Zal network, Premier Zal Granat reflects the chain's strategy of combining mainstream film programming with a broader leisure and cultural offering, including holidays, concerts, lectures, festivals, master classes and interest clubs. The venue serves audiences in Yekaterinburg with both current releases and upcoming titles, and it is presented on the chain's website as one of several cinemas available to local viewers.
