Did you know

• The original movie title was "Nochnoy dozor 2: Mel Sudby" (Night Watch 2: The Chalk of Fate), as the movie is based on two stories from Sergey Lukyanenko's book "Night Watch". A teaser trailer with the title "Nochnoy dozor 2" could be seen on the Russian DVD of The Turkish Gambit (2005). A few months before release, the title was changed to "Dnevnoy dozor" (Day Watch). The end credits reflect the title change to "Dnevnoy dozor", though they keep the subtitle "Mel Sudby".

• Anton is seen jumping through a poster of 9th Company (2005), the previous record holder at Russia's theatrical box-office. "Dnevnoy Dozor" surpassed it, becoming the first film in post-communist Russia to gross over $30 million.

• When Anton picks Svetlana up from her school classes for Light Others, several Russian Sci-Fi writers can be seen as students: Sergey Lukyanenko (author of the "Watch" novels), Vladimir Vasilyev (co-author of the novel "Day Watch"), Oleg Divov and Eduard Gevorkyan.
