Private joint-stock company Multiplex-Holding plans in 2019 to expand the number of cinema halls of the Multiplex cinema chain in Ukraine by 28.7%, to 166 halls, Multiplex-Holding Director General Vitaliy Pysarenko has said.
“In the construction of new cinemas there is a lot to develop. We are always looking for new promising sites. This year we have a huge construction program. We have already opened two cinemas, and we will open four more. We plan to have 166 hall by the end of the year,” Pysarenko said at Retail & Development Business Expo 2019 in Kyiv on Thursday.
According to him, currently the Multiplex network occupies 40% of the Ukrainian film distribution market.
According to Pysarenko, in 2018, the operator sold more than 10 million tickets.
“If in 2012 we sold about 3 million tickets, last year we sold over 10 million tickets. We could call ourselves the largest ticket operator, because those who sell tickets for concerts and events do not have such volumes. We even went against the trend of the entire market: our number of tickets sold grew by 9% year-on-year, and the market in general fell by 4%,” he said.
As of 2019, more than 50% of tickets for movie shows in the Multiplex network are sold online, almost 80% on weekends, and 100% tickets are sold online for film hits, while in 2015, only 5% were sold through this channel.
Multiplex-Holding was founded in 2003. As of March 2019, it had 27 cinemas located in Kyiv, Odesa, Kryvy Rih, Mykolaiv, Cherkasy, Rivne, Khmelnytsky, Zhytomyr, Kherson, Mariupol, Zaporizhia, Dnipro, Poltava, Lviv, Lutsk, Chernihiv and Kharkiv.

The co-founders of retail mobile bank Monobank Dmytro Dubilet, Oleg Gorohovsky and Mykhailo Rogalskiy plans to bring a bank, similar to Monobank, to the U.K. market by the end of the summer of 2019, Dubilet has said in an interview with the Novoye Vremia.Business ezine.
“We are trying to launch a project in England now. It can be called to some extent an analog of Monobank, but there we do it ourselves, without a partner bank. It will be named Koto. Now the key stage of launching a project is obtaining a financial license to be able to run this business independently,” Dubilet said.
According to him, about $1 million has already been spent on the implementation of this project, the project founders plan to invest approximately the same amount additionally.
Dubilet also said that the project is currently at the testing stage. “Now the alpha version is ready, we are engaged in internal testing. I, for example, am already paying for purchases with a Koto card,” he said.
Former top managers of PrivatBank, Gorohovsky, Dmytro Dubilet and Mykhailo Rogalskiy in January 2017 announced their plans to create an IT company, Fintech Band, for the Monobank project. By October 2017, Monobank issued the first thousand credit cards, it began raising deposits in hryvnias in February 2018.
Currently, the Monobank app has two partner banks: Universal Bank (included in the TAS group) and iBox (both are located in Kyiv). The total number of Monobank’s customers is 826,000.
