I have already posted facts rather than opinions to show this just isnt the case.
Check out cinema attendance by age demographic for yourself DogemDave. :-)

"The generation coming through won’t be going to the cinema they will be on devices."

Different opinions ar fine, liars and full of sh*t less so DodgeyDave.
Strange you say your short closed as SP never got near 3p ;-)

DagenhamDave must try harder ;-)

I will close my short @ 3p no sooner"

Welcome back "home" to the boards Nofear.
Glad you got some down time over Christmas and got to be in touch with family too.
Let's look forward :-)

No harm done Drifty69. We can all dream :-)
December has seen a stable price (one day or briefly peaked and another or briefly dropped) so something to build on.

They have a small listing on Frankfurt exchange.
Their main listing is London stock exchange..
Different markets but yes you would hope UK exchange has similar positive response to Brexit sign off.
As I said before I believe we already saw it Christmas Eve morning opening when things were up 5 - 7% and then slipped back as expected news was not confirmed.
I don't think it unreasonable to target that initial market rise to be solidified tomorrow.

£1,450m valuation Cinemark
£900m valuation Cineworld
One currently a little overvalued probably, the other a little undervalued.
No easy 10 bagger though ;-)

Circa 11.5 x number of shares Cineworld v Cinemark.
Sorry to burst your bubble.

Drifty69
Sorry you wasted an inordinate amount of time on this.
Key element you missed is there are only around 1/10 - 1/11th as many shares in Cinemark as apposed Cineworld.
Yes they are still valued higher than Cineworld but it's not anything like your example shows.

I do think the short position could/will become VERY interesting at some point (maybe a few months yet though)
With the top 10 holders in possession of c.70% of shares (some will be responsible for loaning to shorters, I expect Norge and MS regularly do).
Then there will be another set of large holders upto the 2.99% holding level.
This leaves us small PI's potentially in a position of power we don't fully realise.
Shorts in total likely over 10% that's near impossible to get if the big holders do not wish to sell at current or near future price points.
Many of the big holders are in at levels far higher than 50 - 70p so makes no sense for them to sell for shorters to get out.
Clarity on vaccine rollout success by say End Feb/ March it could get VERY intriguing with a right battle seen by MM and shorters trying to misguide long holders.
IF vaccine rollout goes well I would then say hold tight those that have held to that point.

Zstarz
Health before wealth every time :-)
Agree 12 weeks must be the realistic (hoped) target to have all vulnerable groups vaccinated.
Flu vaccine program as you rightly say is carried out annually, but indeed smaller scale and not without its hiccups at times.

We also need to remind ourselves it's actually not even really about UK, far far more about USA and their success of rollout speed.
Thankfully the powers that be there also seem keen to make it move fast.

That's it right now it is HOPE zstarz.
We, at this point have no evidence our government can and will achieve million(s) vaccines per week.
World beating track and trace - fail
Testing levels - fail

So while I am sure most here want us to achieve vaccine levels we can only HOPE lessons have been learnt.
Bringing in far higher levels of support via armed forces and others is a good start. Utilising large arenas, football grounds etc to do mass vaccines in densely populated areas is another good early move.
There is a lot of logistics and elements that could/can go wrong yet.
Be good to revisit this stage end January mid February I think (earlier we likely won't know enough).
Lockdown(s) take far longer than 2/3 weeks to make serious difference too as we have discovered from previous efforts.

Union Pacific
While I would gladly accept your predictions and maybe even dance naked in the street I just don't see the basis for us being £1:10 by mid January.
There simply won't have been enough vaccine rollout to give the confidence to be at that level (in my opinion).
While Vaccine approval, US stimulus, Brexit decided , additional financing (which means further debt to cover ) is good news it is All about millions being vaccinated in next 3 - 4 months.
Any longer and finances will again be less than ideal, market sentiment will turn.
Hope I am completely wrong, but I feel we are FAR from a home run just yet.
However main point is at best there will have been 2 weeks of Oxford vaccine rollout by mid January, no way that will give markets enough confidence of virus defeat at that stage.
Managed expectations here.
If anyone has actual evidence to support claims of rapid SP rise this week coming I will happily listen and digest them.
As I see it, so far there is nothing to warrant 30 - 50% rise this week and near 100% rise in space of 2 - 3 weeks.

Jm4tw
Always under promise and over deliver :-)

I predict 8:00am tomorrow.
Other predictions have zero point or value.

NoRisk
As I said none of us know.
Without checking back I believe they took higher than 25% return on investment previously.
They have now re entered at higher price point AND at higher percent holdings.
This leads me to believe they see higher returns either short term trading or medium/longterm holding with a few options open to them.
Time will tell as with most things in life.

Latpulldown
To be fair that is the Daily Fail
"Britain could be free of Covid restrictions by February"
Also even they have "COULD" in their headline.
So let's at least try to be rational and reasonable.

Drifty69
Regards the short positions I think to best of my knowledge a number were opened above the £1 level and pre pandemic in many cases to even higher.
With that in mind I think most will be happy to hold at current and a bit higher levels .
They are now probably (not completely unreasonably) holding to see if roll out slips behind.
If it does they may well yet "win" and us longterm holders may yet "lose"
In the case of Cineworld and here in UK (and likely USA) we pretty much know we won't be open any sooner than late February at a tremendous push. For liquidity reasons that only gives an ideal window to 2/3 months.
We can I'll afford much/any slippages from the biggest/fastest ever vaccine roll out.
I hope it goes VERY well, we don't yet KNOW though.
