Fandom

To support Major Grom by word of mouth, the fans organized a series of flash mobs on social media to draw attention to the film. Some fans bought up all the seats in cinemas to increase ticket sales,[9] and an unknown person even rented a billboard on New Arbat Avenue, in the center of Moscow, where Major Grom fan tweets were shown.[10][citation needed]

The release of the 2021 film attracted some interest in the English language fandom sphere, but the fandom remains primarily Russian-based. [11][12]
