Thanks Bonkers, Indeed very disappointing from the company in this case then.
Let's hope it's a late RNS with other info such as June debt waivers and agreed extension from Regal dissenting shareholders included.

"IF" indeed those two days are indeed a confined date for the appeal then YES I am also very disappointed we do t have an RNS just confirmi.g that by Cineworld.

"IF" it's not well then no concern and back to hoping the latet the better for the appeal.

I do wonder if 2 days is sufficient for both parties to clearly and adequately put forward their cases for both appeal and cross appeal.

Happy Monday!s) all :-)

It's simple, in the event of ever having a nuclear strike share prices really won't matter a fxxx to any of us.

"The Cumulative numbers speak for themselves"

As we stand 58.5% in our key market.
May I refer to a post of couple days when you were down playing the impact of UK as overall share of business also :-)

Mountainous, from memory I probably agree there was nothing written that 100% would nail us wanting to pull out regardless.
It was spoken in evidence though and well let's be honest it now is of no consequence.

You, I and most here just want a FAR better outcome from the appeal.

You have traded more recently than me LPD, so stop being a twat for even one day.

You can keep calling me and others named and trying to detract but we can all look at a screen and see the share price is much lower than SEVERAL prices you have told is all it is cheap at.

I as much as anyone here want a business and share price recovery.

I don't ignore information I do t like though and as I keep saying it is the company's basis, not mine.

That aside if ANYONE thinks attendance levels to date work for the company then they have serious issues I may suggest.

Other revenue streams do NOT make up for the shortfall we have had to date in attendance
No matter how often you or anyone else name call.

Mountainous, Those texts, emails and many discussions were covered pretty well through the hearing and YES Cineworld WERE looking at pulling out of the deal as an option.

Mooky was the one still at later stages wanting to go on with deal almost in a "no matter what" fashion.
While Isralei and Nissan had been discussing pulling out or trying to go back with lower offer.

Synergies as basis of award still is baffling though.

Allkap, agree great film have already recommended it couple times on these boards.

Thanks LPD, fully aware it is a 7 day a week operation and a multinational business with other revenue streams.

The COMPANY'S base case for US market is clear and while it is not everything the Box Office is biggest factor for the business by some way.

So far at first glance we can see a c. 80% month to date comparative so appears good.
I would say next week/10 days will more likely bring this percentage down than hold or lift.

The Dr Strange performance is widely reported so nothing to do with me or opinion.

Strong opening weekend we all noted.
Equally only right to note a weak second weekend.

I would still love the share price to currently be where we were a year ago, but facts are we are not.
All for reasons.

Now passed second week of May and unfortunately for us Dr Strange has suffered a steeper than "normal" for Marvel fall off in box office.
This gives us a poor second weekend and with our current shortage of movies now shifts the pressure of big numbers/outperforming forecasts to Mr Cruise and Top Gun.

Would be awesome if this report is even close and there is certainly a lot of good hype for it currently.

Let's hope we are strapping in for a jet plane take off in box office final week of month and into hopefully strong June.

HNS, regards Cineplex being unsecured creditor and it being "impossible to enforce and damages payment".

This to some extent has me beg the question what is the point of initial court case or this appeal?

While they may never be able to receive a single cent, is their "win" option to have a major global player in their industry removed from the "competition"?
Possibly allow easier access to expansion for themselves??

For those stating Mooky confident of appeal win, we want that as shareholders obviously. However let's not place any true significance on it.
He and most here were confident of win in original court case let's not forget.

Personally hopefully while still fearful. Currently like most here now in an all or bust position now

Rightly or wrongly I expect a 2 day appeal verdict sooner than a lengthy original case.

One of the great benefits of doing even some basic research on companies you invest on is that you have some understanding of its operations.

Cineworld AMD cinema more widely has operated on very low average numbers per screening and been profitable for many many years.
Long before COVID I could see several screenings per week and the majority would have low so ble digits or single figure attendance.
You then get the premium weekend slots and the Marvel's of this industry where high double digits even 3 figure attendances occur.

Think my rough calculations from 2018 and 2019 (record years) showed that Cineworld likely averaged c. 25 or less per screening., Or put another way for every 6 screenings maybe 5 with 5 people and 1 blockbuster with 100 in attendance.

Thankfully I and many others here have done some research and just a bit of understanding of the business :-)

Enjoy father daughter time Bonks. Both films enjoyable.
Lost City simple easy silly fun and clear standalone.
Dr Strange can certainly be enjoyed on its own, but am also sure the Marvel buffs would get elements we didn't/don't.

I really recommend: Everything, Everywhere, All at Once for anyone that enjoys films and especially a good laugh.

Some argue it is the better of two current multiverse movies.

Will have an awesome weekend thanks.
It has been several months since ANY UK experiences from individuals here has been of AMY relevance.
Why? Well because we have clear box office numbers for UK as a whole AND we have the companies own monthly percentages.
Guess what!? The UK is NOT our issue as it is WELL on the way to recovery to pre COVID attendance levels.
The US is taking longer, we all know that but your worthless info isnt from there .

Marked as *FAIL*, must try harder.

No, no and no.
All bound by legislation.

Robin, I am surprised at you falling for Wupert a second time after he had your trousers down previously.
Think your real friends here need to sit down with you and have a good chat.

Thanks for investing your own cash and time going to AGM today our three amigos and reporting back your experiences.
Many of is been here long enough now to have sat through these prices before and witnessed £1:24 also so sure most of us can and will hold on again :-)

Yes they have Cruis. Was part of last presentation (and possibly the one before that from memory).
