Steve they seem very much one and the same, that might just mean that shorters share the same hive mind and like to rub salt in peoples wounds when it goes their way and then dissapear when they get their stop losses triggered
Are matlot and Shorter one and the same?
There is something very similar about the structure of their sentences.
My be way off the mark, but....
Indeed we are; you seem to exist without a brain?
take back my earlier comments - bin
Great first post @ProAnalyst.
I agree with many of your points, well made, and on point.
With regards to raising the price of tickets to allow extra spacing, Social distancing will be with us for at least another year, so the Cinema chain will take that into account with at least one vacant seat between customers. In addition, we have heard from the CEO of Cineworld, Mooky Gredinger, that he can run at 15% occupancy and still make a profit, so long as those customers use the concession stand(!). He's also mentioned that he's happy to run the same blockbuster on 10 screens of a 20 screen multiplex, as it costs the staff/company very little extra to run 10 screen with less customers in each, as opposed to 2 screens with more people.
I'm a fan of the £5/$5 rapid antigen tests that many of airlines are starting to use. This price would come down for bulk/mass purchases. I believe this could be a great boost for leisure/hospitality facilities (adding a small amount onto the ticket price), in exchange for the customer (and staffs) knowledge that there is a good chance that no one in your event/location has the tested positive for virus. These tests require no expert or hardware and take about 15 mins max for the result. It's not a silver bullet, but it's a good start. Good points though. Good luck
Yes Phil, there are better places to put your money............ under the mattress, in the wardrobe....under the floorboards....
But none of them have the potential of creating a return like this share has. Though with any investment in shares, it comes with risk and any share can go up or down. Today was a bad day for SOOOOO many.
You don’t have to wear a mask at the cinema. If you’re eating or drinking, you can take it off. Plus if you are socially distanced, surely common sense would prevail and you won’t have to wear one at all.
I have to wear a mask all day at work (9hrs) only taking it off for breaks 2x15min & 1x30min and I am fine with doing it. I’d rather not and I would prefer everything going back to normal. But until then, this is what we do.
I for one, prefer the cinematic experience over home streaming any day and I have done both on a few occasions this year.
If you still have shares in this... you're nuts.
Even if it DOES come good (when?), There's just so many better places to put your money!
1. Expect the SP to go up North in weeks time once Pfizer release the positive news about its vaccine on early Nov. (After US election) It will also put Cineworld in better position in negotiating with its lenders. Lenders always prefer cash in return rather equity, hence debt to equity swap is highly unlikely. 2. A full lockdown in UK is likely to benefit the cinemas as the chances of theatre reopening will be higher once the cases have dropped. 3. Maybe cineworld can consider to increase the price of the movie tickets while adopting the social distancing rules. (x2 ticket price for two vacant seats in between, X3 ticket price for three vacant seats in between) This will help to absorb the losses of vacant seats. I believe many movie goers are willing to pay a premium price for extra protection. 4. Online streaming is unlikely to replace conventional cinemas. As the former is susceptible to piracy, no repeat customers and revenues will decline further as the cost of watching the movie can be shared by a group of friends. Unless the online streaming tech giant can solve the problems above. I think Mooky had pulled out a good move to shut down all the cinemas at the moment to bring down the overheads. Maybe he need to start thinking how to use the vacant cinemas to earn some extra funds while waiting for major studio release. In a nutshell I think we’re in good hands but I expect the share price
