What PrettyWild and Bonkers said.
Not sure how you can possibly see it any differently.
1st Priority's save lives, save as many as possible and stop the very high rates as quickly as can with "tools" at disposal at time.
Then it's severe hospitalisations.
Spread can be reduced/stopped with correct restrictions in place.
This is the part we have continually f*cked up on.
Too slow and never hard enough on border control.
Too slow and never firm enough with "lockdowns"
Too quick and never well thought out opening back up (eat out to help out, opening of pubs even before cinemas for example).
Too slow to adopt a wearing masks policy and sowing so much doubt in people's heads re effectiveness or otherwise of them.
Half Ar5ed at most stages!!
Vaccination prioritisation about the ONE thing got right.

No, I am Spurtucause!

Have a great day anewman :-)

Oh aye those big blue plastic ones are the business.
Am seeing national news with your win sammy.

Bet he wishes he could get his hands on your car Robin.

I assume like other such events it is "only" a live screening of the event.
So yes other movies on the other screens.

Something they do from time to time is screen large concerts, opera, theatre. It is showing at my local cinema the 2 days also.

Yes, 24 for a midweek showing of a movie that has been out for couple weeks is pretty good in most cases.

Yeah Ant some of shorts open pre pandemic so will be £2 or more range.
I just don't see any massive "shorts burning" happening here.
Partly for that price point of some and partly the relative number of shorts here to even what was here couple years back, nevermind the AMC/Game levels.

Mountains, sea views and North you say PrettyWild.
Scotland's your place!
Hopefully you will see a tastey return on your faith in Cine :-)

Bonkers I agree pretty much all pegs in the holes now shaping up well.
My view, that some disagree with which is fine.
As a company with a lot of debt pre covid and now further in debt we won't and don't fully deserve to be at or near pre covid SP or indeed say the £1:25 - £1:50 many feel we should be NOW, not yet.
We are reaching fully open without restrictions across our main markets.
That in itself doesn't warrant SP strong recovery.
We need it to continue for months not days or couple weeks.
We need to see USA and UK box office approach much nearer 2019 levels.
Why? The business needs near or even beyond those levels to be an attractive proposition again, a profitable business and reducing that debt burden.
There is also still uncertainty over the disbanded takeover of (sorry keep getting the Cinexxxx chains mixed up, was it Cineplex/Cinemark!?).
Mind NY and California THE markets that shape things greatly have just moved to 100%.
We await the true blockbusters and hopefully some true sell out audiences.

Most of us think and agree they are on there way, but we do still need to see proof of renewed sustainability.

Patience is what we all require here now.
Yes we could, maybe should be a little higher SP now, but longer-term once we have the evidence we WILL warrant and be a fair bit higher than any extra 5 - 25p just now.

You got your empty barrels sammy, or still drinking the contents?

Crumpets it is H1 results announced sometime August - September.
Has been August historically in the main, last year probably due to all circumstances was later being September (may follow similar this year though nothing announced that I have seen).
So these will/should be the last bad set of results, but crucially the Chairman's forward statement should hold some encouraging indications on trading.

Excellent Crumpets, Yes it is H2 I feel realistically to we can hope/expect to see improvements.
Restriction free attendances across almost all our estate.
More and more people comfortable and readapted to going to cinema.
Slate of BIG movies to get those crucial filled screen times.
In turn business having levels it can then stop bleeding cash, turn to profit and debt reduction commence.

Tic tok tic... Waiting game now.

The USA news/progress really is terrific in terms of Cineworld and in time as consequence the revenues and ultimately bottom line and SP.
UK/ROW is all minor noise by comparison.

sammy careful with those back entrance encounters!

Yeh if you bought it 4 years ago would almost have doubled your money. Or within last 6 months at low be about 30 X your money.
I didn't, most here didn't.
Hey ho.

Oh and hope caravan week was fantastic Ant :-)

Telescopic pole sounds a right winner. Then the dwarfs aka Scottish folk don't need to extend it as far as regular sized athletes.

GK is often least of Scottish worries (ok maybe not yesterday).

Pucker up Ant ha ha.
Didnt realise Bonkers was a professional bonker requiring fully functioning bits for his job ;-)
Yay to us back on a biscuit (aka green) day.
:-) :-)

LPD,
For whatever reason you seem to be overly sensitive to any post made by myself or others that isn't massively bigging up cineworld and that it's share price should be waaaay more than is at any given point.
If you really want to focus on one individuals posting history and that is mine then look at all posts through time please.
I have as much as I can recall ALWAYS tried a balanced (maybe for some cautious or even viewed negative view).
My post you have selected I would say I am still pretty much with what I said there.
Infact in recent days/weeks I have said personal view is we are at lower range of what I think currently fair (85 - 110).
I didn't say the SP should have been 124 + back then, nor now.
I pointed out news hadn't materially altered and in the period we had that range.
Still my position is a long-term holder that believes in business longterm.
Short-term to maybe even medium term it still faces issues e.g. a large debt burden to finance that it can't off current levels of trade.
Thankfully these levels are improving and will do even more so once all restrictions lifted in our markets.
I have never to my recollection said seriously this is a £2 Friday share, nor a 5p tomorrow.
I am still of those views.
I am positive on Cineworld, but I don't see value in pretending it has NO struggles.
My focus is on enjoying chat here and making what I hope are good Investments.
In reality I have shown more loyalty to Cineworld as a single share that I should have if my absolute focus was on maximum returns then I and others (happy with risk) should likely have dipped in and out or moved to other shares at various points.
There have been and likely will continue to be bigger return Investments out there.
I like the cinema, Cineworld, on balance my risk reward here and for the most part the chat on here.
Long and happy holding currently.
Have a good day, hope you and all find peace and happiness :-)
Maybe make some money along the way too.
