Member Info for FunInvestor

MoneyPit,
I am (reasonably) optimistic, not short term but long-term as an investor in Cineworld.
Otherwise I wouldnt hold shares in the business.
Regards my earlier comments on your post I used the same source as yourself and wanted to like yourself set realistic expectations.
Company is currently some way from being at levels it wants/needs for a prolonged period, but yes it is now on the journey.
It is open and trading pretty much 100% of its business (be it UK or even more so lately the incessant talk of Eastern European parts of business is of very small concern in the picture for the business/it's share price). Focus really should be massively on USA.
There is a supply of movies, unlike last Autumn (when after about a week or so of re-opening Mooky also talked similarly positively about the attendance etc only to then have nothing worth showing and making further substantial losses and re- closing).
Thankfully we are different at this stage.
You have now put your own estimated expectations for June box office which I find a reasonable figure, one that might be surpassed.
Unlike that of LPD (seems to have posted a bit today for someone that was stepping back from this board, ah the bants ;-)

I usually find Mooky calming and reassuring (have said so on number of occasions).
Regards what he has ACTUALLY said it is no less than I would expect in the most part.

Who thinks a competent CEO would in his position say : I would rather be the business that is my biggest competitor in the market.
We are unhappy with the initial numbers since re-opening.
We don't think there is a strong recovery and future for the business.

He said what I would expect in his usual fashion and I am content (for now) with that.
As he said we are not yet at the BIG movies, they are coming soon and we can all start to gather a much stronger picture once few of them have been.

Hopeful (reasonably) optimistic, happy holding :-)
Understand why so is in the area it is (personally feel it is nearing the lower end of range we could reasonably expect it to be c. 85 - 110 just now).
Happy Thursday and hopefully last month of losses for the business :-)

Won't give a spoiler then bonkers, hope nothing to serious at hospital.

Very good find, most useful post on the BB for a while by anyone probably.

All about the timing Robin, good things cum to those who wait (or make a smart move like NOFEAR) and all that ;-)

Saved myself a fortune not listening to the "wouldn't want to be out of this a share over weekend" crew.
Making millions trading this one ;-)

You will have been on pretty strict diet lately Robin as not many 1 biscuit per penny rise days.
Save them up for some whoppers soon enough ;-)

Enjoy Kelso antmoss, lovely little place :-)

smalltrader, something we can agree on is there are a number of factors decide this or any share price.
I have not said Cineworld have started making profits as (at this stage) I think that would be factually incorrect.

Have fun, I will :-)

Robin that suits my Scottish thinking.
Combine Christmas, Cine and biscuit club party in one swaraj!

sammy we are half way there, don't panic don't panic!!! ;-)

Oh bugger you figured me out small.
LPD can pretend filter "my" alternative name too now ;-)
Can't believe you rumbled me so quickly, genius!

Ha ha Wellington there was no need as know my post was already seen ;-)

So approximately half of 2019 levels . Levels the company requires to return to in order to service and pay down debt/make profits and warrant a significantly higher share price.

As I said, the company has started journey of recovery but a way to go yet.

Let's see if June records even in $ what you forecast.

LPD,
You are missing the focus of the thread.
MoneyP1t has posted regards USA domestic current year growth in box office.
1. Not surprising as much was closed first 4 months of year and limited releases.
2. You state you wouldn't be surprised to see £550 -£600m (that's $775 - $850m) for June, I would be VERY surprised to see that as it would require $680 - $760m in 3 weeks basically from one mega movie release FF9. Big percentage of take is from first weekend/week of a movie so dont expect enough from Cruella, QP2 to bolster FF.
3. 2019 US Domestic for June was $1,149m, industry is at c. 1/12 of that with 8 of 30 days gone.

We are in recovery phase, just starting it and while box office is growing (would be Armageddon if it wasn't considering) we have a way to go yet.

Keep it realistic please.

* I realise I am "green boxed" by LPD but sure the message will get across ;-)

Definitely summer in Scotland today, the rain is slightly warmer.

RR is definitely where it is at, as you stated and per yesterday of this went down further you were heading there.
Wouldn't want to influence smart investors moves.
Toodle pip

I am interested to find out how apparently a less than 10% mix of shorters are stopping the share price single handedly from being much much higher.

Jangho like many here will be fairly happy with their value investment I am sure.
Their average isn't exactly at current or higher levels ;-)

smalltrader,
If as you say everyone knows next set of results will "not be the same as 2019" then why do some suggest the results will be!?
I have no problem at all understanding shares and investment in companies and understanding their financials.
So as you are trying to school me you are saying that improved future results are already priced in!?
A share price is determined by a number of factors and not only by the current or future positives (or negatives).
Still holding, still happy doing so for long-term returns, still realistic and dealing with reality rather than half pictures :-)

On UK quizz show (tipping point) this afternoon final question was "which cinema chain has members unlimited card scheme?"
With Cineworld clearly for us the correct answer from 3 multiple choice option.
