Disney was the first share I bought so at least if they release Mulan on Disney plus it might go up a few dollars to make up for my cineworld ones tanking hahaha

“I'll personally vouch for the fact that the day it's on Bluray, it's on the net.

Even quicker when it has an exclusive pre-release on Amazon or Itunes.”

Yes but it’s still 3-4 months after a cinema release. A VOD the same day as a cinema release unheard of and a streaming websites dream

Hahaha you all need to go back and read my posts on it. I never said this is the future of cinema, if I thought it was I’d be selling my shares. I’m saying while the pandemic is still going this could be very messy with releases. This bill and ted release is the first glimpse of what might be in store with other future releases during the pandemic (which no one knows how long it will last for). Cineworld now may have to contend with not choosing to show films that don’t honour the theatrical windows which is not good for share price.

@investroid
I have never said anywhere that it will be like this in terms of releases forever. But cinemas are obviously struggling right now and even 6 months- a year of it will have a massive knock on effect to share prices due to a decreased revenue. As moola pointed out just now Mooky has said that he won’t show films that don’t respect a theatrical window. So if people can’t see a film at cine they will either then watch it at home if it has a concurrent VOD or they will go to Vue or odeon etc. Either way not good for share price.

* as soon as a film gets a digital release

“Your point about illegal streaming doesn't exactly help your argument...”

You’ve lost me? As soon a lady a film gets a digital release it goes straight onto illegal streaming sites. Without the exclusive cinematic window, it will mean HD copies of films will go straight on. Sure some people will still pay for the VOD so it may do well for the studio in that respect but either way it’s bad for cinema attendance

“Bill and Ted Face the Music only has a production budget of $25 million. Hardly a blockbuster.”

Besides the point as if it does well for the studio overall it may be a sign of things to come with other releases. This board gets on my nerves sometimes, none of us know what going with releases except the fact they kept getting delayed. I was just passing on the info that this could be studios future plans with releases -and if it is then like it or not it will affect cinema share prices regardless of whether it’s a blockbuster or not. People won’t visit the cinema to watch a film when they can watch it at home on release day. It will also go straight on illegal streaming websites with a concurrent VOD release- also not good for cinemas

Bill and ted face the music is going to be released simultaneously in the USA alongside premium VOD so this could be the future of some releases? Due out the start of September. So it’ll open in cinemas that are open in the US and worldwide while being available to buy at home the same date.

Hmmmm not sure how I feel about films going down this route. Good for studios but not for cinemas

The delay was announced on the Tuesday last time and they were due to open on the Saturday. This time they are due to open Friday 31st so I would expect if they’re going to delay the decision will be made by next Monday 27th. Personally am expecting a delay now

They can’t just keep delaying and delaying and delaying films forever more one of them has to be the first to release one at some point. The longer they are in this position of sitting on finished films the greater the chance it’ll leak online. They need to crack on now, it’s one of those situations where no studio wants to be the one to test the waters and see how their film does right now. But it could come with great pay off as people are bored so the opposite could happen to what they expect and the first to release could be a huge turnout but none of them will know until one of them has the balls to release

A winter drop based on possibility of corona getting worse in the winter months / second wave

Interested what everyone is planning on doing when/ if this reaches the magic £1

I’m averaging 71p on this, my plan is selling when it gets to £1. But it sounds like a lot of you are planning the same, and that’s exactly what happened last time. I think I may sell when it hits high 90’s to be on the safe side but it’ll depend what the situation is at that time. Of cinemas are open and doing well I may hold a bit longer. I won’t be making much on cine but would happily take a small profit and get my money back to try again somewhere else or try again with cine should the price drop again in the winter

“Can we hold a minutes silence for Steve and the deramping Crew please , looks like he mistyped and meant £2.80 not £1.80”

He’s at the bank remortgaging the mortgage that he paid off last week to pay his short lmao

Well done anyone who bought late last week/ yesterday, wish I could keep buying and buying this stock!

Just bought some more even though I said I wasn’t going to for another couple of weeks. I just have a really good gut feeling about this share, I hope i’m right about it and I just don’t see how we can go wrong at this price?!

My watchlist of shares is all red today, I only have one in the blue and it’s boohoo. It really is doing well today compared to all the other (retail and leisure) shares I’m watching

@biddwolf I actually started working for next in 2003 and was offered shares in their share save scheme for around £7-8 if I remember correctly. I was only 16 it was my weekend job and it was too much hard work setting up an account etc so I didn’t get it. It will forever be my biggest regret in life! I ended up staying with the company for ten years all through my education and for a few years after too and in that time I saw the shares rose to £50. After I left I saw them rise to £70. I guess working for them I never understood the hype around them and didn’t see the shares rising this way! (I still don’t own any shares in Next btw, although they are incredibly cost cutty and their online makes them a lot of money, a lot of their stores don’t bring in much and they keep them open so people can do their online returns easily. It’s their online that really keeps the brand going )
It’s another reason I feel boohoo is a safe bet being online only, a lot of these retail stores don’t make any money due to the overheads

Sold my TUI shares last week as they weren’t doing anything for me and bought into boohoo at the right time for 211p after days of waiting. Wished I’d invested more so over the weekend decided to top up and averaged up to 225p after today’s top up and I feel absolutely fine about averaging up to that. I may even chuck some more in if it’s under 250 in a couple of weeks time again. Will be putting this into my ISA and all being well holding for 10 years, I see this as a very long term investment. A few concerns about people becoming more woke about fast fashion but these things take time and I don’t see massive change happening quickly so think it’s safe for a good decade unless anything else dramatic happens over the next ten years

For anyone disappointed in the lack of rises for this share, just do what I do and expect 50p everyday and that way you can’t be disappointed! I’m not even worrying about this one anymore I’m used to it being a loss- it’s turned into a bit of a troll of a share for me but it’ll come good in the end. I just hope the end is by October....

I think it’s optimidtic to think the price will bounce back next week because it’s getting nearer the reopening. What happened last time was the price dropped nearer to the planned reopening before it got pushed back. It’s very very early days with another 3 weeks to go yet and a lot can happen yet, I’m not expecting much positivity until they are open, and even then depending on the USA situation think we may only get a 10% rise. Only 25% of cinemas are in the UK so I’m not expecting miracles on reopening
