Despite being made in Russia, they speak English in the film to make it an easier sell to a global market.
The film known as "Magical Adventures in the Forbidden City" was originally given the title "Abigail" before its release. This change happened before the film's premiere.
Much confusion stems from two different movies, both with the same name. The 2019 movie "Abigail" (directed by Aleksandr Boguslavskiy) is a Russian fantasy-adventure film. The 2024 movie "Abigail" (directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin) is an independent horror film.
