The controversial Russian film "Leviathan," which has been widely acclaimed in the West, reportedly made $110,000 at its premiere in Russian movie theaters on Thursday. About a rural Russian man struggling against a corrupt mayor, "Leviathan" won awards at Cannes and the Golden Globes, but had not been allowed to screen in Russia because of a law forbidding profane language in public performances.
