Just been and seen TopGun Maverick with an 18-25 Marvel fan who said he "would endure it". Similar sat behind and several in front of us in a cinema over half full. Ours came out at the end saying I'll give you that, that was a brilliant film. One behind was overheard by Mrs Lat stating to his folks that he really enjoyed that film start to finish.
Its Superscreen next for Mrs Lat and another trip to see it for me. Probably double it up with Elvis and take a posse.
Not surprised in the slightest that it has been given a 120 day window as it is a film absolutely made for cinema and the biggest and loudest screens possible and if you haven't I would implore you to see it in one of the premium formats.
They should also bring back No Time To Die also for a week or a fortnights run.
Well it looks like it is going to clear a $Billion in the next week or so and South Korea should be adding starting Thursday. Don't forget this is without any contribution from China and Russia. I have to say I actually thought it was better watching it for the second time.
Tonight at the request of Mrs Lat I am in to see the film for the 3rd time with another family member who hasn't seen it yet. Having just checked the cinema it is already about half full on pre-bookings on a Tuesday evening. It also looks like I am going to get persuaded into going to see the film in Screen X - a format I have skipped to date.
They could easily extend the window and put it in a smaller cinema and it would still be taking more than some of the lower budget films.
Then you have to factor in streaming revenues on top then you can pick it up in DVD sales in the shops. Just picked up the newest Batman film on DVD the other day for £8.00. Good film / Bargain price.
Massive, massive money spinner TGM when you take in all the merchandise as well so yes they could easily do another.
It's kissing $700M at the moment with 10 days still to go. No doubt dribs and drabs still to filter through with late reporting after the 4 day weekend. Then it's through the week sales then the weekend with
*Elvis opening
*The Black Phone opening
And the cumulative audiences from Jurassic World Dominion, TopGun Maverick, Lightyear and all others on top.
Then some more through the week.
Should surpass $900M this month for a very good month indeed. That's only the North American Box Office / Ticket sales

With the share price.
Anyone care to share on a reason?
People just switching off and enjoying the sunshine and the summer.
Catch you all laters on here.
Next indicative bid in excess of £2.00 should open the doors for due diligence
Oil this time the target.

Must be due them. Was surprised it didn't rise well after the quarter point rise in interest rates.
Indeed 4 day holiday in America so hopefully a bit of follow through tomorrow.
Better to be thinking where the share price will be if they pay off the dissenting shareholders.
Paddyboy1,
Those technically minded might say that it's double bottomed circa 71p, thats if you include the day of the last THG RNS and today where it hot 71.82. Regained ground into the close.
It goes where the market makers want it to go.
Although its worth an eck of a lot more its due another run up north of 82p and back towards the 116p it was prior to the 170p bid.
Imho
Appears somebody caught them all on camera arriving.

Great response Hosai and not muh you can say to that one having put your foot in it. Just shows the level of intelligence of some of the clowns on here. Probably paid to post. Fortunately we can all see and interpret value for ourselves.
Was obvious and long overdue when compared to EZJ
The latters market "cap" is worth considerably more.
We know that anyway from an opening £1.70 bid. Then there were the other Candy offerings on top.
Games will be games with Hedge Funds and market makers.
However you don't need binoculars to decipher what Hosai posted
"Fever-tree
2021 revenue = £311 million
Predicted 2022 revenue = £355 - £365 million (around 15.7% growth)
Predicted 2022 Ebitda = £63 - £66 million
Market cap = £1.72 billion
THG
2021 revenue = £2.18 billion
Predicted 2022 revenue = £2.66 - £2.72 billion (22-25% growth - prob around 18-19% organic)
Predicted 2022 Ebitda = £161.3 million
Market cap = £912 million
The latters market is worth considerably more.

Good posts both Hosai and Pokerchips and both highlighting just how cheap the share price has got and with a readily identifiable reference point. It isn't any surprise just in the numbers you both provide that £1.70 starting bids were turned away.
At the weekend I hinted also at the market cap being £1.059Biliion at that time and it has reduced further today to £1.022B and I also hinted to view the end April presentation - where the gross profit was £954M
I would urge you rather than to be swayed by marlet making and hedge fund greed to view the presentation and take note of the divisions, the scale of operation (the map of the world slide) and the numbers presented within. Then let the true value that is clearly there out itself.
That said if the market makers wish to present cheaper entry prices then I'm happy to accumulate in stages.

I year between these openings but see if you can find anything from Cineworld on either
I rest my case - these are two seperate cinemas and it looks like a new one has opened at Hounslow and the other at Feltham has had a revamp. Not a dickie bird to shareholders.
Great offers out there on that Feltham cinema as well.
You can change cinema and find both.

Mountainous what the company is absolute pants at, and its IR's responsibility as much as anyones is that they do not make good use of the RNS facility. I am not talking the mandatory updating the market RNS's. I am talking about RNS Reach.
These are non-regulatory RNS, informative ones.
I highlighted recently that they had just opened a very large new 10 screen cinema at Hounslow. Something that you think shareholders and aspiring shareholders might like to hear and which might prompt other interest. Opened just at the right time around Dr Strange and TopGun Maverick. Not a dickie bird on it from the company. These positive events should be being reported as such.

Income into the bank to reduce the RCF - just as good old Gord Nelson did @Plex. Levers there. Then pass the test on the given date. Then prioritise and discharge your obligations. No1 should be to pay off the dissenting shareholders as the RNS on it is what caused the
recent fall. Hopefully that's the way it all pans out and we head back to the 30's.
Fortuitous that the Box Office and any associated revenues have picked up handsomely.
