Premiere of Avatar 3 in Ukraine: What Else to Watch in Theaters This Week

According to glavcom.ua: This week in Ukrainian cinema, as well as globally, there aren't many premieres. Few producers and studios decided to compete with the main novelty of the week, the film 'Avatar: The Way of Water.' The third part of the popular franchise from cult director James Cameron will take up most of the screening slots in theaters.

Also scheduled for this week are pre-premiere screenings of the animated film 'SpongeBob SquarePants: The Sponge on the Run,' whose official premiere is set for next week. However, the animated film will already be available starting December 20. 'Glavkom' provides detailed information about the premieres on December 18, 2025.

Part of the filming took place in New Zealand, particularly at Stone Street Studios. The film was shot in parallel with other parts of the franchise and also dealt with an important issue - fire in the digital environment.

Director Colin Minihan created a story around roads, isolated spaces, and the internal fears of the characters in the film 'The Day of the Coyote.' The film combines thriller and psychological horror, shot within tight deadlines and with a limited budget.

The film 'Hunting a Mouse: A Christmas Fight' from Germany combines black comedy, thriller, and satire, playing on the contrast between the festive atmosphere and brutality. The film has been recognized for its provocative approach to Christmas themes and its unconventional take on the comedy genre.

The film 'SpongeBob SquarePants: The Sponge on the Run' is the fourth installment in the popular franchise and tells the story of the disappearance of SquarePants and SpongeBob's journey to get them back. Director Derek Drymon aimed to preserve the spirit of the original series, combining classic style with innovative animation solutions. The film impresses viewers with its deep subtext and a mix of adult themes in animated form.
