Zima, Ondřej ; Košuličová, Ivana (advisor) ; Danielis, Aleš (referee)
This master thesis focuses on an analysis of the fundamental factors which producers must consider when releasing a film into theaters.
In the paper?s first part, I describe the thesis?s starting point, summarize the current state of cinematic distribution in the Czech Republic, and describe how we arrived at this state.
In the second part, I look at the actual decisions made by a producer when releasing a film into cinematic distribution. Here, I use the available data to try to determine above all whether there exist any ?rules? or at least trends as to when is the best time for a movie?s cinematic release and whether these trends have in some way changed over the years.
In the next part, I describe a case study of a producer?s decision-making process, based on the cinematic distribution of the film František je děvkař (Frankie is a Womanizer).
In the paper?s final part, I consider future developments and summarize my conclusions.
