This document analyzes factors that contribute to blockbuster success in the motion picture markets of Ukraine, Poland, and CIS countries. It summarizes previous literature on this topic and presents an empirical analysis using box office data from 2007-2010. Regression models show that higher budgets, sequels, and local country of production positively impact total revenue. Weekend box office revenues are also strongly dependent on the previous weekend's success. The findings provide insights into the peculiarities of post-Soviet movie markets.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

4. Motivation
Specific market structure of motion pictures industry in
Ukraine;
Absence of previous research of Post-Soviet movie
markets.

5. Literature review
One of the earliest theory (Litman, 1983) maintains that
motion picture success is dependent on three decision-
making areas:
the creative sphere;
the scheduling and release pattern;
the marketing effort.
5
6. Literature review
Blockbuster hypothesis (DeVany 2004, “Hollywood
Economics”): big budget leads to higher box office.
Also positive effect of: a presence of star-actors, sequel,
animated and action genres on movie revenue.
Bagella and Becchetti (1999): Italian comedies are most
successful among locally produced movies.
Wall (2009): high return to information for Thailand
motion picture market. Dependent variables: opening
weekend box office shares and movie life-time.

7. My contribution
This study extend existing literature in few ways:
for the first time provides economic approach of motion
pictures success for Post-Communist countries
examining dependence of total movie box office on its
budget, release date, genre and country of production.
applies time series dynamics for weekend box offices

Blockbuster hypothesis that bigger budget increases
revenue, is not rejected for all countries (similar to
DeVany, McKenzie)
Weekend box office strongly depend on success of
previous weekend (DeVany, Litman, Collins et al.)
Positive effect of local produced movies (similar to Wall,
Bagella and Becchetti, Zarin-Nejadan and Criado)
Effect of sequel motion picture is positive and significant
for all sample countries. “Animation” genre is significant
for Poland. And “Comedy” is significant for Ukraine.

20. Conclusions
Main peculiarities of Ukrainian movie market:
i. faster decreasing of weekend box office revenue
ii. small seasonal effect.
