You're right Wolf, it's the same in my office. But film producers have been aware for decades that the audience for the big screen is youngsters: say 12-15s in particular. No office is going to be abuzz with movies, but that's because the main audience for films is in school. Adults who like action have got used to watching teenage movies.

Thanks for explaining Hexam, I don't even know the terms so unlikely that I could get my head round this situation.
I've made a small investment here on gut feeling. Feeling hasn't made me rich yet, but never say never.

Chatroom, I'm also a believer in cinema. It's a completely different experience from watching indoors, that's what will keep it popular.
What makes you say "wiping us out would be the worst result for our debtors"? Is there any way of knowing that? It would be good news if it were a fact.

You could be right CJ, it could be that stocks were knocked by China's lower-than-expected growth forecast . . . hard to imagine being disappointed by a 5% rise isn't it? The East is certainly where the growth is now.

Well 5x5, I'm glad the 30 months since the last spike has gone quickly for you, it feels like 30 yrs to me! A Scottish phrase on the back of the current Scott's porridge oats pack: "Whit's fur ye'll no go by ye!" What's coming for you won't go by you. Maybe a spike for you 5x5 and a steady rise for me!
GLA.
The US dollar had a resurgence last week and I blame that for thrown all kinds of stocks into the red, including this one.

"Royally ripped off" is about right, WB.
A few other factors will help cinema along: people are spending too much time indoors to stay sane; even with a TV screen half the size of one wall, it's still your living room, you can still be interrupted at any moment; snacks taste better out and about. The list goes on.

Viewers are joining one platform (eg Netflix to watch the Daredevil series) and then finding a few seasons later the show has moved (to Disney+, in the case of Daredevil, which had 'rented' the rights to Netflix). Viewers are not going to put up with this kind of expensive nonsense. The platforms will merge and the cinema will be supported by all merged parties because it adds to the fun of watching, and therefore adds to their profit. IMHO.

I would only put half of this 18% rise to fear of missing out: I reckon the other half is due to the reviving movie industry. That's exciting in itself, and if it helps the share price here for people who are way down, so much the better.
Long live movies.

Loving this share. Up 33% in the last few days and not even at half pence yet.
Go GST.

I spoke too soon, interest has arrived . . . 3.8% up.
Go Safestay.

A rise yesterday of around 25%, and this morning no interest at all? Seems very strange. There are so many long shots on Aim, this company's finances seem robust in comparison . . .
Oh well, I've put a small amount on, time will tell.

As for the 0.5s: (Austrian accent) "They'll be back".

Normbeef and HH, I'm with you all the way. We're going to get rich without feeling dirty. If Alien Metals was trampling on locals the way some miners do, I wouldn't invest here.
Go UFO.

Very nice rise, but why today? Why not yesterday? So much money is lost jumping on and off when the price moves strangely . . .
The house (eg Hargreaves Lansdown) and the government make money each time a share is bought and sold, perhaps that explains it.

I liked the phrase Malcolm Groat used to describe his role, something like: "I'm here to keep the company straight with the regulators". Plain speaking, and clearly a very clever guy to have had success with such a headache of a job.

Hey Max, the bold for Munni Munni reminded me that Rod is particularly keen on the prospects there.
I'm surprised how subdued the price of palladium has been the past few months . . . I wonder what stalled its rise? Fine by me, as long as the PGMs race upwards when UFO starts drilling for them at Munni Munni (and copper and nickel). (And I'm not going to use the G word, I'll get too excited.)

Nice timetable Wentsland, it would be great if action started this summer. But this is my second run at investing in Alien Metals, and no amount of delays will chuck me off this time. Where else would I put the money that's as exciting as this? And long-term, looking at Hanc0ck.

Older, it's true that the price of iron ore that matters is the one when UFO starts mining . . . but between now and then there are partnerships to be signed and investor interest to be stirred up: a rising iron ore price will help with those.
Looking longer term, Rio Tinto announced a sharp drop in profit last year due to China's Covid lockdowns, but Reuters today reports their chief exec giving a bright picture of the future: "It is very positive that China now also comes out of COVID lockdowns ... and we are quietly confident that (China's) demand will be a stabilising factor for the world economy in 2023," Chief Executive Jakob Stausholm told reporters.
China, the world's second-biggest economy, in January re-opened its borders and eased quarantine requirements for travellers after three years of tight controls, and is putting in place policies to boost its sagging economy.

Larry6, I didn't know there were 5 Marvel films due out this year. I'd say they're testing the water with the less well-known characters to see how much interest is about.
I'm old but still game to try a few Marvel movies this year. I hope the youngsters will be back in droves.

The run of blockbuster Marvel movies that started with 'Iron Man' in 2009 came to a temporary (IMHO) end with 'Avengers Endgame' released in 2019. I don't know how many blockbusters . . . . 8 or 10?
Isn't the pickle Cineworld is in due to management overconfidently trying to expand too fast? And wasn't that due to 8 or 10 blockbusters in a row?
So if there is the slightest hint of Disney gearing up for the next blockbuster run, it could save our bacon. The longer this bidding process goes on, the better, imho.
