As usual, the list of the ten most-viewed films bears its usual structure of hinging on big-budget US imports and titles predominantly aimed at children’s audiences; however, the major change this year is the proportion of domestic productions in the rankings, as they make up almost half. The most-visited film was an adaptation of the “chick lit” bestseller All or Nothing, a Slovak-Czech co-production (340,535 admissions), while second place belongs to the thriller The Line (329,349), followed by the US animated title Despicable Me 3 (296,178). A thriller recreating a domestic political controversy, Kidnapping, ended up in fourth place (278,763), followed by another US animated film, The Boss Baby (195,362).

In terms of earnings, The Line became the highest-grossing film, with €1,749,425 at the box office, followed by the most-viewed film, All or Nothing, which earned €1,734,924 – dizzy heights usually reserved for US blockbusters, such as Avatar (€2.185 million) and Despicable Me (€1.88 million).

The domestic films released last year were visited by 1,414,132 theatregoers, thus enabling them to secure a 21.13% market share. The feature-length fiction debut Filthy [+lee también:
