My cynical side says that this will rise back again when Freedom Day is officially announced.
A 5-10p rise would make a fair few 'lucky' city boys a hefty wodge of cash next Monday if they're buying in now.
VERY SARCSTIC COUGHING NOISES

Ha ha!! I think that Dragon was snorting a bit too much of the magic powder at the weekend!

The fact that cases are going up but not translating to deaths or an overloading of the hospitals is what led the government to decide to get rid of masks and enforced distancining on the 19th.

Sky and BBC reporting it also, albeit the same story but it's out in the open now.
Surely this must translate to good news for us.

Seeing as this stock is affected by UK specific news despite having only 15% of our estate here, there are lots of confirmed reports in the early hours that Boris has signed off on the ditching of face masks which could well see a positive start for us tomorrow morning:

@JG.
Nothing to worry about if you believe in your own research that led you to invest initially.
The big fish will be loving the fact that the little fish are 'worried'.
This is how they shake the shares out of your pocket then laugh like bullies in your face when the price goes up in the following weeks/months/years.
This happens in plenty of stocks and more so in our still very fragile and ergo volatile stock.
The more we get back to normal though, the more solid our foundation to negate volatility and the big drops and spikes.
As I said earlier, seen it all before.
Ride out the turbulence.

I think Share Flyer has probably got it right.
But meh.
Seen it all before with this stock.
It'll come good in the long run.

Sorry, that was in reply to Fun'd post pointing out that there's a CineWORLD outside of England!

I can't believe that even needed saying on here.
As someone far more erudite than me once said: "UNBELIEVABLE JEFF!!!"

Well said, Fun.
Spot on.

I've said this before but I still can't get my head around why our older shorters who got in around £2 didn't buy back when we were at 20-30p for a few weeks.
They'd have made a right wodge.
What's the benefit of waiting until the sp creeps closer to their original sell price of £2 and diminish their profits?
Even now would be a good time to buy back.
I can only see this edging slowly back up over the months and years.
I really don't understand their thinking.
Anyone got any ideas I'm missing?

Just an opinion piece based on knee-jerk reactions from studios faced with an unprecedented situation.
They had to be seen to be doing something.
But it's my belief that one year out of the hundred+ of movie going will not alter the human need for a social night out with for the best experience.
I fully expect the studios to return to a full theatrical window over the coming years as humans revert to... well.. being humans.

Yep.
Can only see that as a positive!
Manage the debts as a priority in order to return to greater profitability sooner.
Common sense to me.
What are we missing here where that is seen as a negative?

Right back at ya, Robin!
Love and kisses xxxx ;)

The Pig speaks the truth.
Micro-analysing seat numbers in a seaside cinema in Britain won't help much.
The U.S is where we need to be looking at - where cinema is a major part of their leisure culture.

What we want to see from F9 is a healthy U.S opening weekend box office and moreso from Black Widow.
That will (hopefully) encourage and stimulate studios to ramp up their efforts and we'll see more marketing and re-arranged release dates.

But even then, this is a serious long term hold.
The entire industry is still only just starting to shake the rust off as it gears back up out of hibernation.
It will be a couple of years yet until the oil is hot and running at full throttle again.
During that time, we will have to repay debts and settle the score with Cineplex.

I expect positive movements in sp if:
- F9 does well
- Black Widow does better
- UK ends restrictions on the 19th
- H1 results show we are able to manage the debt and show we are well placed for the future

It will come good in the end but you're going to have to wait a good while to see serious returns here.

Wellington, you're not imagining it!
Nisan (CFO) said during the last webcast that they hoped to have the Cineplex issue sorted by the end of June.
Key word there is 'hope'.
So it could be a few weeks or even a few months.
But agreed that it is certainly a bit of a weight on our shoulders and one that will be fantastic to free ourselves of.

Any ideas on how Unlimited Cards are factored into box office takings?
Say I go to see F9 tomorrow on my card, I'm paying nothing on the day but I am on my annual / monthly fee.
How do they work out how much of my monthly / annual fee goes towards F9's (Universal's) box office take?

Afternoon all.

What do you call a police woman who shaves her lady bits?
Çuntstubble.

Surely nobody is taking this seriously?
Some rando on a bb that has been (probably) on the sauce posts takeover news but there's not even a whisper anywhere else. Nothing.
And Jordan has since disappeared off here either laughing his arse off or gone into hiding after a throwing out a drunken post with no way to delete it.
The biggest news next week will be about F9's box office and rightfully so as the public piles in to fill up our very hungry cash registers.

@rinkydink.
You say 'who can trust a word the government says?'
You mean the UK government? Where just 15% of our business is?
Or the U.S, where 75% of our business is and where now almost 100% of states have lifted all their covid restrictions?

Unless you bought in here through FOMO and did no research, you should know that by autumn time Cineworld will have been running at full strength in the U.S for four months and most probably three months in the U.K as well and will be able to demonstrate that the business is well placed to service the debt levels and return to proftability.

It will take years to fully stabilise but it will get there.
It all depends on your own sp targets and patience.
