The goal of the thesis is to compare the profitability of Czechoslovak New Wave movies with the rest of the movies made in 1960s in Czechoslovakia. The comparison uses statistical tests and visualising using boxplots.

The comparison of production costs is supplemented by comparison of the exterior filming typical for Czechoslovak New Wave and by regression model showing which factors had influence on production costs. Among the factors are exterior filming, atelier filming, whole production time and the model contains also dummies: film color, film format and whether the movie is Czechoslovak New Wave movie or not. This analysis is put into Czechoslovak political and economic background since 1945 to 1970. The thesis briefly describes the Czechoslovak New Wave movement and describes the development of Czechoslovak film industry since 1945 to 1970 and its indicators such as number of cinemas and seats, attendance and number of produced movies. 1
