The company's first movie release was in September 2011, under the title of The Pregnant. In 2012, Enjoy Movies released 5 successful feature films, which allowed the company to gain 25% of the market share. In the process, Enjoy Movies gained on average around $27.9M, which was 10 times more than they had initially spent on movie production and placed 1st on Filmpro.ru's top 10 list of most successful Russian production companies in 2012.[1]

In May 2013, during the annual Cannes film festival, Enjoy Movies announced the formation of their alliance company Glacier Films in cooperation with Hayden Christensen and his older brother Tove. During a 3-year term, Glacier Films intended to produce 11 micro-budget movies worth $1.5M each. Glacier's first movie, American Heist, starring Hayden Christensen himself, is based on the 1959 film The Great St. Louis Bank Robbery, directed by Charles Guggenheim and John Stix.[2]

In July 2017, Enjoy Movies initially announced that it was declaring bankruptcy,[3] but shortly afterwards in September 2017 stated that they went out of bankruptcy.[4]

As of November 2021, Enjoy Movies did not produce newer films after they successfully went out of bankruptcy as well as their website was shut down.
