Interestingly when Spiderman No Way Home opened on the 15th December 22 the ensuing Box Office took the share price from circa 27p to 44p over the next few weeks, and that was over Christmas and into a quiet January and February. Not with Top Gun Maverick and several other good films to follow.

I'd like to say I am surprised at the dip early doors but it happens routinely either before or after with good Box Office.

Very good weekend though and with a Cumulative audience that will follow nicely into the Royal Premiere for Top Gun Maverick on the 19th May and into its opening.

" fourth-best worldwide opening weekend for a Marvel movie behind “Avengers: Endgame,” “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home."

Missed the link.

Maybe a +5% day on opening.

$185M opening is a big opening but DrStrange Multiverse of Madness toook $450M globally on opening weekend and Cine will have had its fair share in Uk, Ireland and also in the RoW territory.

Busy weekend for Popcorn, Coke, Hotdogs, Nachos abd the Pic and Mix counters.

The Cumulative Audience should see us nicely through to Topgun Maverick and then Jurassic World, Dominion and Lightyear.

Good couple of months coming up to be fair.

You'll find the bulletin board reads that much better if you use the filter button for those who are trolls and time-waster with nothing useful to contribute.

Another days near normal production of that precious metal Au for Poly.

Share price circa 1/5th of where it was pre-conflict.

Massive progress on this over the weekend with all men, women, children and elderly civilians all out of the steelworks.

Next phase maybe to come.

"Wounded and medics next for evacuation, says Zelensky: All women, children and elderly civilians have been evacuated from the Azovstal steel mill in Mariupol, Ukrainian officials said on Saturday, after a week-long effort to rescue hundreds of people during an ongoing Russian attack on the plant."

This Azovstol steel plant is 4 miles long, Gawd knows the extent of the tunneling.

Just as an example a few years back I was fortunate enough to get to visit the WW2 tunnels inside the Rock of Gibralter. The Rock itself is about 2.4 miles in length and there are actually about 34 miles of tunnels inside.

So good luck if they choose to go in.

It was regularly manipulated, not so much now. But the share price being about 1/5th of its pre-conflict levels tells you how much it has been.

Can I just point out one very important thing though

- Polymetal has and still is merrily producing gold and other precious metals at near normal levels throughout in both Russia and Khazakstan -

Noteworthy point despite all the conflict and rhetoric.

"Breaking: Women, children and elderly evacuated from Mariupol steel mill
All women, children and older adults have been evacuated from a Mariupol steel mill long besieged by Russian forces, Ukraine‘s deputy prime minister said.

“The president’s order has been carried out, all women, children and the elderly have been evacuated from Azovstal,” Iryna Veheshchuk said.

“This part of the Mariupol humanitarian operation has been completed.” She did not elaborate.

The Russian news agency Tass had reported another 50 evacuated from the plant earlier today."

Now time for Erdogan to put his call or visit in imho

Excellent news folks.

All civilians, Adults, children and elderly have now been evacuated from the Azovstol steelworks. (BBC News).

Fantastic achievement UN/ Red Cross and all others involved and for the patient things moving in the correct direction.

Roughly 36 hours now left until Victory Day Parade to deal with the Azov Battlion inside.

Do they:

*bombard and achieve little,
*enter the steelworks and engage in bloody battles,
*Negotiate safe corridor release with a corresponding Russian PoW handover in exchange
* leave the backdoor open, inadvertently or not (given many Russians have been pulled centrally to Moscow for Victory day Parade leaving only about 2000 troops for the full city and plant.
* Military extraction

Prize at stake is that land bridge to Crimea.

Looks like a Bayraktor TB2 drone has just taken out another Russian ship. This time a landing ship of the Serna class. dyor.

Three evacuation buses left the besieged Azovstal steel plant in the Ukrainian port city of Mariupol on Friday, according to Russian media reports. Buses carrying 25 civilians including children were brought out from the plant to a camp in the Russian-controlled town of Bezimenne. An estimated 200 civilians, along with Ukrainian resistance fighters, remained trapped in underground refuges at the huge industrial complex.

"Going to be a long weekend here, and with EVR and POG now plummeting..."

Can you just explain for us all how far Evraz has plummeted today, this week, this month.

Please engage mind before posting.

Zelenski

"He said Mariupol as a city cannot fall, because it is already devastated. “There is no place. There is no structure. It is all destroyed completely.” He warned the Russians that if they killed civilians or military personnel that could in theory be exchanged as PoWs, there can be no peace talks in the future. He promised Ukraine could block Russian advances, providing it was supplied with the necessary equipment."

Is he thinking safe passage for prisoner exchange?

Eusebius inflation might affect larger ticket items but it will have about zero impact on a shop selling cards at roughly 99p.

Incidentally I did my bit again yesterday and picked up several cards yesterday @CARD for several upcoming family events over the next month and some of which were in the higher value range.

May be some susbstance in it as its now popping up on several news links.

Surprised they haven't been commenting on this one. Looks like another warship might have been hit.

Maybe the newsreels need to catch up

https://en.interfax.com.ua/news/general/830034.html

Today is day 2 of the 3 day humanitarian corridor for the Azovstol steelworks. One more day still to go on the civilian side and from what is being said it seems to be working.

The question now has to be, Does Putin allow the Azov Battalion a safe passage corridor out on the last remaining day before the Victory Parade? and thereby fully achieving the land bridge.

You can bet your bottom dollar there will be some real intense discussion and diplomacy on said point.

Looks like maybe another 500 out of the steelworks and Mariupol. Somebody crack some heads and tell them that if they provide a safe passage corridor out to the Azov battalion then on paper it is fully Russian occupied. Prioner exchange also if you must to smooth it through.

"Ukraine says more civilians rescued from Mariupol steelworks
More civilians have been rescued from the tunnels under a besieged steel plant in Mariupol, a Ukrainian official said Friday, even as fighters holed up at the sprawling complex made their last stand to prevent Moscow's complete takeover of the strategic port city.
“We conducted another stage of a complex operation to evacuate people from Mariupol and Azovstal. I can say that we managed to take out almost 500 civilians,” the head of Ukraine‘s presidential office, Andriy Yermak, said Friday on the Telegram messaging app."
