This paper focuses on the analysis of the issue of equivalence in translation of movie titles.
Bearing in mind the discrepancies between English, Polish and Russian linguistic and cultural
systems, the author tries to find probable reasons for choosing to translate a given title in a particular
way. The problem of a dissimilar effect that the translations have on their recipients boils down to
the fact that they need both to fit the norms of communication within the given public sphere and to
be catchy enough to draw viewers’ attention.
