RE: No matter what happens it will be much better once the court case is done4 Nov 2021 22:18
Watched it tonight and I thought there were a couple of steers given by the judge re how she was thinking. For instance non-payment of rent being queried as ordinary course? All those default
notices at odds with preserving the business? She also threw a couple of "awkward" questions at Mr Mark (maybe direct questions is better phrasing) and he did not answer them very well at all.
I'll tell you what though that Mr Kane (for Cineworld) was top dollar on damages and case law. Knew everything inside out, upside down and back to front and could speak quickly unprompted and with such authority. I think everybody viewed him initially with scepticism at first but by the end I it was quite clear he really knew his stuff. ?
Looks like parties get notified the day before that the judges verdict is ready. No advance copies of it leaked. Then publicly released to all when both markets are closed at 4.30p.m. the next day. No anticipated date given.
Next week, next month or next year, who knows. You will either be holding or not when it becomes public and I suspect it will go immediately into auction in any case.
Back to running the business in between times and Marvel's Eternals opening tomorrow night then with Ghostbusters Afterlife, House of Gucci etc to complement what is already cumulative audiencing.
Imho and away win, but not without criticism.
