Cruis, You surely realise and agree this is an absolutely useless and ridiculous headline and lazy journalism.

Without doubt it is an improving picture sammy.

Week 3 of Q4 73.66% (think I was comparing all box office to top10 for 2019 in error yesterday)

So that's 3 of 13 weeks pretty steady around that level (good, but still light of what company wanted).
Getting there (hopefully)

Puzzled by that advert LPD, as it's only recently the company announced new partnership with Pepsi. Hmmm.
Well always good to get promotion backed by massive global brands.

High Ender's back on case today.

Spot on bonkers, and if honest I for one think the woohoo rocket we went up the 3% that we had gone down and more the previous few days does the exact opposite of boosting my moral.
It only serves to make the following day down feel worse.
Each and every single time!!!
It's also very very often absolute false optimism built on foundations of sand.
Or worse someone looking to create some pump and dump action in a self serving manner.

Also feeds the opposite side for following day or week with ammunition to hit back harder.

£20 on Monday once the Reddit crowd take us beyond the moon. Wouldn't want to be out this over the weekend ;-) ;-)

Only Saturdays are dress up days sammy.
Have been told off for the spurs couple times.

I said " over here , we grow them to fit our mouths"

Did he reply "yeah, so do we" ? ;-) ;-)

"Oh, and Elvis is seen regularly"
Any confirmed sightings of him riding shergar?

Q4 widely noted as a hoped for/expected turnaround for the industry is now 3 weeks into 13 week period.
So far:
Week 1 76.26% of 2019 level
Week 2 77.13% of 2019 level
Week 3 over 80% (with I think today's numbers yet to be included, last couple weeks would suggest say $6m more or 4-5%

Big jump from previous month's and gets us towards ballpark now of where we want/need to be.

I personally shall definitely be continuing to monitor this indicator regularly through this quarter.

This time last year we were gearing up for take off that saw us roughly quadrupole SP between start next month and March.
Won't say no to similar pattern this year round (not predicting or expecting it though).

When will we fly, well we had our initial flight start of this year.
It may be after H1 2022 results announced.
Successful court outcome should stabilise and help.
H2 should give some positive indicators.
Fully expect we still recorded losses in Q3 and we are only 3 weeks into Q4.
Personally dont believe audience numbers in our biggest (by far) market are yet high enough to expect any considerable bottom line profits.
More patience has been (and I think will continue for a bit) required.
Business/industry recovering, but the 18months damage isn't going to be wiped out in a successful court case or couple months decent trading.

If it's above March highs tomorrow though I will be delighted to be way off mark.

At 2 and half hours long it was ideal film to go up back row, sit on hand for first hour and then "enjoy" remainder in hindsight sammy ;-)

Back row is bit of a waste by yourself sammy.

Slap bang middle of the middle pretty much.
Hopefully another good revenue generator for weekend coming :-)

Yeah am going all in at 0p also.

Some time after start next month.
I am not Barbara, so no.

Cat of nine tails again PW? Oh go on then.
Neither articles are "news" just another example of a host of guest writers on MF that post disproportionately regularly on this share and hold as little (possibly even less) value to me than what most of the randoms on this chat board say.
:-)
Dune seen now, might be Ron's gone wrong for me next :-)
Screen to myself, the beauty of daytime midweek 3d showing :-)
No doubt be busy tonight and over weekend :-)

LTHcine
Rest easy you can top up now ;-)

Cheers MoneyP1t.
Always good to look at all sources for information we can gather and some will add more than others.
As you rightly say regional variations etc I think make the online booking method weaker than Box Office Mojo industry numbers (even if we need wait a couple days sometimes).

As I have previously said and will always repeat the online booking method is inaccurate.
As latest example I have just booked at local 3d afternoon screening.
Other than myself it currently shows 12 people and these are in 3 blocks of 4 seating.
I all but guarantee there are not 3 blocks of 4 booked in.
Not sure how or why it happens but it regularly does show more booked than reality.

Evening/weekend screenings fully or near fully booked out is no more than we would expect on big release days/weeks.
It's the other hundreds of screenings per week also needs monitored and that just can't reasonably be done by someone choosing a few locations to randomly gauge box office.
Sticking with box office mojo as my preferred method.

Dune take 2 in couple hours time. Unlimited viewing got cancelled after cinema unfortunately had technical issues on Monday.
Free combo deal offered to us all jist have to mention cancelled screening at next visit.
Not sure what's in that and won't be such a cheap skate as to claim it.

Enjoy rest of your day all :-)

If we stagnate here much longer I will be dropping from cheap biscuits to having to make my own at home. It's not as fun as it was when we were on the Waitrose luxury hand wrapped biscuit range Ant.

Let's save a weeks biscuit money and all chip in for an old USSR rocket.
Upppppp! ;-)

Ant, I may try it more often if that's the immediate reaction ;-)
