The Croatian-Czech-Slovak animated film ‘Kristalni planet’, directed by Arsen Anton Ostojić, has achieved significant success in Turkey. During its premiere weekend from September 25 to 27, the film was screened in 140 Turkish cinemas, attracting 22,914 viewers according to Box Office Türkiye. This performance placed the film among the most-watched titles in the country over that period.

This release marks the beginning of the film’s international distribution phase outside its initial markets, which included Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Czechia, and Slovakia.
