So you went to a quiet cinema. No details which cinema, time of day, what film, can make a lot of difference to your observation being biased. Most people go to the cinema from Friday evening to Sunday evening for a brand new film as most films are front loaded for collections. Most people would go to cinemas that are in a central location to lots of bother stuff, such as restaurants and shops and easy to get to and hassle free parking. The cineworld in Birmingham and Solihull are usually far more busier than Birmingham nec, as not many will venture out towards there. Plus you still haven't explained which newspaper gave free tickets. The only other tine when cinemas is busy is on Tuesday and Wednesdays due to meerkat. The daily box office collections shows the pattern week in week out. Please provide facts before you post your observations.
Going to cinema has the following advantages:
- catching a film rather than waiting - watching DSMOM this week, I'm happy to know what's happened in the mcu plot so far and now eager to watch thor
-meet up with friends and family
-completely stay away from distractions such a mobile etc, so nice not to look at your phone for 3hours
-nothing compares to the big screen viewing, and really immerse yourself
Saw DSMOM yesterday, cinema more than 50% full (it was a meerkat evening). Saw top gun posters plastered over solihull buses. I think momentum will build up over the fortnight. I reckon a $750m, but really depends if it connects to the younger generation who might not be too familiar with the original.
Yes looks promising. Uk has grossed 12m which is pretty good. Cineworld share prob is $1.5m so far from UK and $20m from North America.
My source was Wikipedia. However boxoffice moho says North America grossed 90m on day 1. Very different numbers coming through.
2 day total in North America stands at $90m breakdown of 36m day 1, 54m day 2.
Needs 70m on Sunday to meet the lower estimate, which may be difficult. Sundays tends to drop.
Dr strange update. Day 1 north America gross $36m, UK gross $6m. I'd expect cineworld revenue based on 30% market share in these 2 territories to be 42 × 50% × 80% × 25% = $4.5m ignoring any revs from concessionaire as they probably offset by staff, rent and electricity costs.
Ftse 100 closed at 7503, ftse futures on spreaders is showing 7490, so just a 0.1%, mostly due to uk companies are value companies and not tech growth companies. I still believe us market is so overvalued. Nasdaq 100 pre covid 9500, now 13000, the share of tesla still 4 times price pre covid, even though it lost 30% this year. So the falls in usa is the same as the big steep rises over the last two years that uk stock market didn't observed. So I wouldn't worry too much.
Top gun?
Yields rising, hopefully yields very high by 31 Dec 2022, this should eliminate a large amount of deficit. Do you know how big is the DB pension scheme (I expect its fully closed to accrual)? Do you know the mix of assets in the pension scheme and any ldi in the scheme?
Cruis, those small films have such low attendance that they dont cover overheads such as staff cost and electricity, especially in the age of streaming, people will wait for an out release for such films. Also the smaller films now they get a better deal straight up from releasing on ott
Those small films good for Oscars but will now be made for the ott world. Cinemas to survive need films that give popcorn entertainment, bring in the masses, and as long as hollywood produces about 20 of those with decent reviews and keep a 6 month waiting period before it goes on ott, cinemas will be back to good. Post covid, india and China's cinema business is now doing even better than pre covid. You just need the right sort if content for the cinemas.
There are a number of big tent pole films that should change the business this year - Dr strange, thor, black panther, avatar 2, elvis, minions, lightyear, spiderman animated into spider verse, top gun, jurassic world, Canterbury glass, bullet train, shazam. If cineworld gets a decent share out of the big revenues we should see share price doubled by end of the year.
So skier you reckon crypto is store of value. Say you agree for an annual wage of 100k units of some crypto currency. You go and do your weekly shopping for 100 units, and the crypto currency jumps 100000% in a month. The supermarket also up their prices by 100000%. Now as you cant change your wages for another year how you gonna do your food shopping next month - starve for 11 months. Good luck living in la la land.
