Documentary Karel, which Špátová filmed under the banner of Karel Gott Agency (which belongs to widow Ivana Gottová and received nearly 1.2 million support from the State Fund for Cinematography), with the American Streaming Service will appear on Friday, December 24, 2021.
“If this is true, and I do not have official information yet, it is a matter of the distributor and the producer, I will be very happy that the film will appear on the prestigious Netflix. I think Karel would be very pleased too, “She said when asked by our editorial staff documentary filmmaker Olga Špátová.
According to many viewers, the film is more than two hours long very touching, but the audience’s tears are also replaced by laughter.
The launch on Netflix caused a crack
600,000 spectators have already seen the film in cinemas, which is a phenomenal success. And you can expect it to break records on Netflix as well.
“The release of the film caused a huge stir among the members of the group. A lot of people are looking forward to it.

Ivana Gottová: How much did Netflix give her?
According to the editors, the film, which is still shown in cinemas, would be available online so quickly eXtra.cz Appropriate finances are needed for professionals who do not want to disclose their names due to fears of breaching contracts with the company.
“It simply came to our notice then. They could be agreed in the long run, Netflix could have cost a lot for the title itself. Then he would be willing to pay a higher amount, “One of them thinks.
„So far, the highest flat rate that Netflix was willing to pay for a Czech film was one hundred thousand euros (2.5 million crowns – editor’s note). But most can hope for a maximum of half. They still offer the opportunity to go to the percentage, according to the audience’s interest, but according to all our calculations, it is not worthwhile, “says another.
“Let me put it this way: I don’t think any of the Czech producers on Netflix will get rich. I don’t think it’s a dizzying amount. It really won’t happen that they would get twenty million for Karel“He thinks again producer Pavel Pásek, whose films appear regularly in the US service.
