Mmmm biscuits.

Most here are not day trading so next short term move is probably of very little interest or value to them (myself included).

Don't see it in the 70's next year, the year after or any other year after that.
If that helps, then great. :-)

Awww, were they disappointed to find out you are a nobody?

That came up on my feed earlier sammy.
Fancy trying a movie in that format sometime, looks good.
You ever tried it?

"91% Google users liked this movie"

End of day there is only ONE "review" that will count and that is box office.

Let's see 3 weeks from now what the first 2 weeks record.

Oops that's all a bit embarrassing LPD not only read a previous post wrong he left himself logged in under his smalltrader login :-0 ;-)

There is a world outside Engurland, and for example 75% of this businesses market is in one other place called USA.
Football goes on all year round, like many sports and hobbies.
Folk still go to the cinema, out for a meal, play golf any number of other things.
Heck some even do both, watch the football AND go to cinema.

Why are you concerned with small parts of the business?
Also here is weekend comparison to other years and it would suggest a reasonably strong weekend at this stage of recovery
Mind UK has more restrictions currently than many other countries, most notably for this business USA.

We can only offer personal views really and some may use technical analysis or other methods to back their view up.

We all know what the price is however, and contrary to what a few say on this board I think it delusional to think what we say here materially influences the price.

Personally I would say it had got ahead of itself at £1:24 (look back the graphs and see how fast it moved through price points with little to no material changes to business position)
Many expected a stall at or near £1 and even that didn't originally happen.

I feel we have in some respects come back to go through what share price should have a few months back on its way up.

While I think SP was ahead of itself in March at £1:24 I do also think we are now a little behind where it would be reasonable to expect SP to be (not talking massively, but a bit).

Manipulation or whatever you want to call it there is always an element of share price "play".
In our case with little to no demand from those going long at current point in time, very little actually selling though then with VERY low volumes for 3 months now it is easy to move share price to suit those playing the game.

Longterm holders should hold no concern in this, nor one movies box office, or expect an RNS every time someone buys a ticket, popcorn and a large cola.

For those that want to trade then always expect volatility and it's not alway an easy ride to pots of money.

Your money, your choice though.

If you don't know cinemas are open then you have bigger problems in life.
It has been covered plenty.

There are other funds long on this and a greater percentage.
JG68,
Are you saying only the short funds have greater insight, and not those funds that are long?

I am first to say everything isnt perfect, and Cineworld has its problems to overcome but let's be honest at least.

Algypan, sometimes best thing we can do is take loss and move on.
Think you have told us your regret of "this garbage" few times.
For you it may well be best to move to something you view better now!?

JG68, the shorts go up and down regularly over more than year.
Have been MUCH higher historically , and been lower.
Business is fundamentally the same.
I respectfully disagree about the "article" being a balanced view.

Wadz these are motley Fool reposts and hold nothing new from what they have said every second day (or thereabouts) for the last year.

Got folk talking about him half of last week, ontrack for more of the same with this week's one post nonsense.

Cruis, 15.64p low.

2 + 2 = 45
Yip last week's takeover going through tomorrow.

When the journalist can't even get something as simple as what share price low is then forgive me for not holding their article in high regard.
Can a takeover happen, off course it can.
No company is immune from it.

Is constant name calling needed?
Says more about those most guilty of it than anything else.

Took some time to look back at the pdf from company update on 25 March (available from their website if interested).
Didn't see the Unlimited numbers detail, assume that was only on webanair and no recording of that.
However refreshed my memory after 3 months AND some interesting snippets I had either forgot about, not picked up on at time or thought after the 3 months we have had since worthy of another mention.
So in no particular order:

1. California and NY (which I understand are both fully open now and at 100% capacity allowance allowed) account for some 30% of ALL of Regals box office.
2. Rent liabilities of $350m (will need paid in future) have been deferred for on average 3 years. This will assist cash flow in initial re-opening and growth back to previous levels meantime.
3. Capex in 2020 which was being reduced in later part of year was still $277m. Budgeting $150 for current year.
4. 20 loss making sites in USA closed.
5. As at 31 Dec 2020 $732m ($337 of this cash) liquidity available and with the company basing cost per month while closed at $60m that is the one year while closed cover mentioned.
6. Texas and I think one or two other significant sites brand new and expected to generate significant revenue.
7. Achieved significant cost cutting measures during lockdown period d which is expected to improve future profitability significantly.
8. Reviewed staffing and levels (so assume reductions in needless staff numbers). Another saving.
9. No dividends planned short term, for reference a $51m dividend for Q3 of 2019 was last one paid.

There were no doubt other important points, these were just some that stuck out again to myself.

Short term we still will have (or I expect) unknown SP movements and very possibly nothing of note Northwards.

Like I have always maintained however I do see business fundementals that lead me to believe long-term the SP can and will grow from here.

Peace and love, peace and love (and maybe some biscuits) sammy and all others.

You got it spot on fella.
