Bank holiday weekend takes people to the cinema. Downtown Abbey opening this weekend for a different audience then its into 4 very good films.

*Dr Strange and the Multiverse of Madness (Marvel)
* TopGun Maverick
* Jurassic World Dominion
* Lightyear - for the Children and families.

Good find RS2002 but this is the one to be watching. Hopefully pulls the Celebs out like Bond did.

Two others I missed are

* Store concession rental revenues within the cinemas (Starbucks for instanceetc)
* Higher slice of the Box Office revenue for relinquishing the theatrical window down to 45 days in most case and in some other cases only 30 days unless they hit $50M opening weekend Box Office.

Its not just the cost savings hkt,

RS2002 quite rightly pointed out yesterday that you need to look at the wider revenue streams. BoxOfficeMojo solely considers the US market and I have shown on here previously that it misses numbers and can be several weeks behind. But CINE also has cinemas in the UK and Ireland and the Rest of the World and say for instance with Childrens films, they might not bring in full adult prices for everyone but they bring out families in 3's, 4's and 5's and it is very hard to deny those little gems concession items.

On top you therefore have to add
*Concession sales of food and drink.
* Advertising revenues from the likes of Digital Cinema Media and equivalents
* Unlimited recurring revenue memberships
* Online booking fees.

Far better re-assessing things after the following 3 which are just about to follow in quick succession.
Dr Strange and the Multiverse of Madness
Topgun Maverick
Jurassic World: Dominion

Hopefully a nice blue day for all holders tomorrow.

pandamonio, that number 14 you mentioned may just have gone up to 15. Looks like a car blast in Moscow tonight. (Express) First 2 months everything was confined to Ukraine with very little seen or heard other than what was on Russian state television. Last few days and weeks that's noticeably changed. Might be right on some working within to remove him.

I'm still going for a Mariupol safe corridor and Erdogan to broker to get them talking again and over the finishing line.

And to be fair most of my other miners have shaken off any supposed Chinese woes mentioned earlier in the week. Might we see a nice blue day tomorrow across most shares.

Somethings tickling its fancy.

Will be surprised if its not a blue day tomorrow imho

Might see a healthy blue day into next weeks update imho.

It's very quiet on here today!!

Something is tickling the markets fancy.

Interesting to see where our 500k shares purchaser takes things tomorrow

I agree with you Matchu that all the personalities are unpredictable but it is clear that the inner circle of Putin and Lavrov (and the mouthpieces of Petrov etc) and it has to be said Zelenski and Kuleba have reached an impasse at this point in time.

That is why it needs a 3rd party input - a mediator detached and unblinkered from solely any one-sided perspective and to make them see that which perhaps they are not. - Erdogan.

If we get a humanitarian safe corridor out of Mariupol then that might be the start.

I just post an opinion and everyone is perfectly entitled to read the facts and make up their own.

May peace prevail.

Evening Matchu,

Ordinarily I would agree with you but I personally think Erdogan will be the one to bring Putin to his senses (and Zelenski). Negotiations are never one sided and are all about win-win for both sides needing to get something out of the negotiations and similarly you have to be prepared to walk away from the table if it doesn't suit. VP may wish to threaten or intimidate Ukraine to try and get his way but there are 2 sides and it is clear that Ukraine are not going to roll over and simply accept "Putin's / Russia's demands". That's what they were referenced as. It's clear from Zelenski positioning on lack of sight of these proposals / demands that they do not suit. Hence we have continued fighting and impasse.

Thereafter you need a mediator (Erdogan) and or a new set of ideas or perspective to break any deadlock. Erdogan himself claims he has a proposal and seems confident of getting matters over the line.

Recapping, after Istanbul there was general agreement on 5 out of 6 points and the big gain for Russia was Non-nato security guarantees. Last point to settle was on the Donbas and Crimea.

You have to appreciate though that if there is No Peace treaty, Russia gets nothing and Ukraine are at liberty to do as it pleases.

Despite all the sabre rattling and bluster, that mediator might be the one to point out that you might fight for another 3, 6, 12 for little or no additional territorial gain and to point out:

* Russia has unprecedented sanctions against it.
* Oligarchs have unprecedented sanctions against them.
* Moves now afoot to change legislation to enable any seized foreign currency reserves and other monies to be used for reparations / funding Ukraine etc (Canada)
* Bucha and the civilian casualty atrocities has only served as an own goal with Finland, Sweden, Bosnia and Kosovo all now wanting to join Nato. (Shot self in the foot) Any surprise that Jens Stoltenburg only today pops up to say "we would welcome both with open arms should they wish to join Nato"
* United Europe. (almost - Hungary?)
* Looks like they have sufficient gas reserves to suffice through spring and summer and to enable the search for alternative sources.
* Nato parked on Russia's border now with added staffing and weaponry.
* International Condemnation.
* UN exclusion.
* Diplomatic expulsions. So many that the FSB will probably end up playing Eye Spy in their offices in Moscow)
* Western Countries pulling the plug on Russian operations and the unemployment that accompanies it.
* Sovereign debt default imminent.
* Inflationary pressures and severe risk of recession to the Russian economy.
* 40 Nations as of only 2 days ago all pumping weapons into Ukraine. $33Billion is a lot more.
* Unprecedented personnel and military hardware losses thus far (new reports saying 25,000+) and more to come imho
* Military and supply targets within Russia - now legitimate targets also, now taking the fight and "visibly" across the bor

Make it 500k bought in the last half hour and with the afters.

I make that 450K in total or roughly £1M in purchases in the last 20 minutes and in afters (see earlier post and combine with yours)

Excellent fundraising done here and negotiated the pandemic without dilution or any ready future need.

In for the duration now from me and the inflection point was bagging the 3 big events in the last quarter combined with Covid battle won and the financial refinancing. Happy to add now on any dips.

Normster "When is SP likely to start rising again?"

Not sure, but it is getting tempting again. Summer coming up and the West seems to have cracked Covid. If my family are anything to go by, people are itching for a summer holiday again.

It would appear that some are being teased out of their holding (traders) by shifting the spread and dropping a few trades through on what is very little volume, whilst somebody appears to be the beneficiary and is building a stake here. About £150k's worth they got at 260p in the last 20 minutes. Sets them up nicely as well for the 5 minute auction at the end should they wish.

Imho

Indeed Gopnik and he seems to have the ear of both Putin and Zelenski. My money is on him getting them back to the table and resolving this. Nobel Peace prize to follow if he does.

Omitted to say.

Must be getting close to the point where many consider starting to buying more at staged points to create a nice healthy average.

It's shorted because it always provides the potential for a substantial rebound. Short it down whilst filling up. Once you have enough flick the switch and take it up.

With the Russian oil and gas situation as it is presently and the need for replacemenmt sources companies like ITM are no-brainers moving forward.

Was liking it above 90p after the last steady update which in the day the market clearly liked.
