Look FI all Buys are Buys and all Sells are Buy.

Have I reached number 1 yet?

But was it? There's always a reason for things being after hours and not live in play.

Objective though I try to be today and without going into any specifics today I had as a washout for Plex. Why did they call the first witness and now? It just gave the opportunity to re-cover and re-emphasise old ground again. Hard to disprove what's in writing. Expert dismissed in a flash as not a qualified to critique those that are imho. Mooky calm and composed and setting out their rationale for in a business deal right from the start.

Its on this thread if you missed it.

Burnsy thanks for the update that would coincide with my barometer cinema. Off pre-bookings alone it has sold out on circa 28 showings Monday to Thursday inclusive. About 15 single seats left for walk-ins, and with Friday, Saturday and Sunday selling out and now filling up well. Given it's a full week this week imo should probably get close to or in all probability surpass Bond's opening weekend (4 days). Did you catch small traders comments earlier on USA pre-bookings and what the thoughts are?

Moola hasn't posted here for about 6 months (check). FI is 5th and hasn't ramped since April and most of my posts contain links as supporting evidence. If I sit off and don't post for 6 months I'll still be in the same place. I'd put it in the same place as I put Motley Fool articles.

Shouldn't be too hard to catch.

Good find small trader.

If it does hit those high notes and add in Venom Carnage on weekend 2 in the US, Adams Family 2 as well then maybe people will then actually start to twig that the share price is still sat at middle of the pandemic levels. Hopefully we can then get back to 85p and break through it this time.

This weekend imho should eclipse all other box office weekends thus far and our Regal cinemas chain in the US, representing 68% of the business, should take its own very large slice of the US Box Office pie.

Bond is having a virtually sellout week in the UK on my barometer cinema and again they have added circa 12 shows for the weekend and they are filling up.

Though the share price would like to have you think otherwise the headlines show it breaking records everywhere. Success breeds success and never ever under-estimate social media and word of mouth.

It looks like addition to our IMAX and 4DX capacity as well as upgrading and modernising the foyer.

I do love it when they dip it under £1.00 for no real reason and the lower they give it away in the 90's the better. Then you just buy and sit and wait.

Henri I am happy to do my own checking and also happy to wait for the figures to emerge over the weekend.

On increased ticket prices Cineworld (or Regal) have not published anything yet on price increases although IMax looks to be up about 8% and 2D tickets a nominal increase.

Here though was what AMC said in one of their last earnings calls.

"Compared to the second quarter of 2019, the domestic average ticket price was up more than 15%, and food and beverage revenue per patron was up nearly 42% to a very impressive $7.91. And this compares to $5.58 during the same quarter of 2019. Similarly, the international average ticket price was up 6%, and food and beverage revenue per patron was up nearly 33% compared to the second quarter of 2019. This food and beverage increase is primarily driven by a significantly higher percentage of guests choosing to purchase our food and beverage concessions.

Skip over the dross posts people. All sat next to each other and paid to post.

Royal premiere released across 27 countries, 4 and 5 star reviews virtually across the board and an 83% scoring on Rotten Tomatoes. Bonds last outing and a franchise publicity machine like no other.

The Bond numbers to beat.
Skyfall opened to $88.36M in 2012
Spectre opened to $70.4M in 2015

Don't forget there will have been ticket price increases in the intervening time period, including the recent ones. (I haven't checked Regal btw)

You need to start focussing now on the overlapping cumulative audiences from now till year end. Things have now changed. Forget monthly cash burns now and start focussing on things now being cash flow positive - till year end and beyond.

It's a shame Skybet aren't taking bets again or I'd be tempted.

Plumber I'm going to go for it getting pretty close if not surpassing Venom and think it again could set further records across many new territories with Russia and France also adding. Attendance levels are successively building and Venom came out the blue as a complete surprise to many.

But the important point missed is that this weekend not only sees Bond hit the US it also sees the second weekend of Venom in the US. UK right through this week for Bond is also already extremely strong.

CINE is now making money and will continue to do very well until year end and beyond.

Perhaps rather than asking the question, maybe you can go away, research it for us and provide us all with the answer including any links. But then that is not why you asked it. Another in the bin.

A bit slow off the mark the UK media this morning but they now seem to be pushing out some headlines.

I'll be interested to see where it finishes after this weekend,

Well done the guardian. the first one to distinguish between the 3day and 4 day opening weekend and in pound notes.
