A lot (am awful lot) has been said about no RNS to simply state "we are opening again"
If anyone doesn't know we are re-opening by now then they must have had head well and truly in sand.
Social media and mainstream media has been full of it. The company's own channels have covered it well.
What "might" an RNS have achieved?
A bit of a rise in short term SP, which may or may not have been partly or fully wiped out by other news such as virus variants and inflationary fears.

Still been opportunity for day traders.
Still been opportunity for shorters.
Long-term holders the picture is still the same.
So I see little to no reason for constant cries for an RNS to say Mooky went to the toilet.
Happy with his and his families understanding of the business that he is running the company as well as can through this phase.
He hasn't failed the company in every single previous year to date, so I have at this stage no reason to question him now.

Nice to hear from you NOFEAR, good luck with current Investments.
You certainly timed your Cineworld move perfectly (not saying it won't grow further, but your point in time move was great in the curve).

Hope we have more visits from you in the days, weeks and months ahead.

"£1.22 March 85p today some drop."

The same number of days before that March point gives a SP of 62p.
Wow that's some rise to 85p today :-) :-)

Checks, not back in the over £ range. Goes back to sleep relaxed

The near term share price IS of little or no concern to Mooky (or any competent boss).
He is I am sure busy getting on with what actually matters. Re-opening the global estate in a good manner efficiently and effectively.
Focusing on negotiating solid deals with key suppliers, minimising wasted expenditure and looking at how best to get bums back in seats and steadily but surely get the business not only open but crucially trading profitably.
Once he does this he can look further at reducing debt and future plans (revisiting that failed chain purchase for example).
Maximizing shareholder value and in doing so the SP will take care of itself.

The share price skipped too many levels based only on sentiment rather than facts at the time.
To me it seems we are paying the price after the event for that.
Given time and certainty we will IMHO get back to a rising SP and surpass recent highs.

There is a lot still happening around the world and in our markets that give uncertainty.
The business, already carrying a lot of debt (see levels of shorters pre pandemic) took on more during last year.
Simply opening for business doesn't equate to company being at significantly higher SP.
We need weeks, months and maybe even a year of certainty in economy and world health.
We need to see sustained levels of attendance that can support company trading at profitable levels.
This is yet to happen or to be evidenced it is highly likely to happen.

Patience :-)

If I hadn't sold some at 71p when it then rocketed next day I may well have sold a chunk at £1:24.
Had a feel of it had got there too quick about it, but seemed momentum was behind us for possibly a top slice higher still.
Yup, it's a more patient hold for number of months now.

Wake me up when we are back in the £ plus range :-)
Zzzz

That's 10 more than last Tuesday, or any other day of the week for the last number of months :-)

Hey Bonkers
While I agree we are in a better place than we were 14 months ago, we (the world) is not where it was say 20 months ago.
One of the big mistakes right back near the start was many nations inaction in January/February not seeing a virus as a potential worldwide problem was criminal.

With this partly in mind, as we stand now there is less than 10% of the world vaccinated and less than 5% fully vaccinated.
So the re-openings around the world are both potentially good AND bad news and they do add back some uncertainty.
High levels of infection is as prevalent now (or more so) than ever.
This allows for more mutations and potential to cause further problems.
I am not happy at all with international travel at this stage.
Had UK in particular done as say Australia and New Zealand did earlier and actually close borders properly. Or as other countries did enact a proper lockdown and early.
Then we would be in a far more certain place (though still realistically require ban on international travel) to be able to say we were no longer in uncertain times.

We are progressing and there is light, but for me and I believe many we are some way yet from being completely past uncertain times.
(That may or may not be part of reason we see SP where it currently is).
Godzilla c Kong tomorrow though :-) :-)

Those that talk about the size of their....

Nice to have a females perspective. Thanks. P.Wild

When he talks to shergar I will be impressed, until then....

Yeah it's the new normal.
Closed in debt businesses valued more than open ones.

Sharefall,
The short position was higher pre pandemic so I hold little to no belief it will be considerably lower anytime soon.
They may view the company level of debt it too k on to buy Regal as the key.
Maybe took a view streaming would eat into their market.
The company trading again at as yet unknown levels I feel is highly unlikely to scare them off.

Bonkers
I respect you for having the humility to specifically mention when you have previously been wrong.
This says a lot about a person.
Focus for some weeks yet is going to be on those second hand for top cohorts (unless we get a huge increase in supplies).
I have not noticed Ollie or a few others for some time now.
Guess that's just the way these things are, some pass through, some hang around lo get than others.
See you good folks tomorrow for whatever we see played out.
Tomorrow is the day I can say "I am going to the cinema for the first of many times after none for 8 - 9 months"

*thumbs up* bonkers. Good piece.

The first one you can see is "cancelled" by second and replaced by third.
Hope that makes sense.

It looks like one buy ( still nice size).
I would say although reported after hours it is the reason we saw rise in first hours of trading this morning.
