Guys, can we move on from the game playing, even though I realise some important things are being mentioned.
Perhaps start a new thread with some meat on it?
Like focussed on the Weekend Results?
LOS ANGELES – “Godzilla vs. Kong” muscled its way to a pandemic-era box office record, giving Hollywood studios and theater owners alike hope that people are ready to return to the movies after a year of watching Netflix at home.
The tentpole, from Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment, generated $32 million over the weekend and $48.5 million in its first five days of release. That’s easily the biggest debut since coronavirus hit. Prior to this weekend, “Wonder Woman 1984” had the biggest three-day start with $16.7 million, followed by “Tom and Jerry” with $14 million.
Thanks for posting these details. Let the popcorn roll.
In terms of cinemas operating at reduced / 50% capacity, I think we have to remember that cinemas are often less than half full - and during this furlough / lockdown times, people are free to go at odd hours when cinemas would normally be empty.
Once we have banked our profits whoever that is I think we need to have a public enquiry to find out how they have been manipulating CINE. Grrr!
I noticed the same over the last 2 years on Boohoo and Superdry etc
Guess they get time off from Brexit duties now
Thanks for the question, Mr. B,
I am looking forward to seeing the superhero film Bonkers At Large.
The one where a mild mannered man with kids tames an unruly BB so LTH can get some peace
and in due course profits. All hail Mr. B.
PS as zstarz and I agreed, even if we got the Monday date wrong for an RNS, it was bound to be an interesting week.
No miss there. And you know what. I suspect tomorrow may be the most interesting day yet.
So Bonkers, have your whip ready please.
Ah zstarz have to love your stamina.
Now betting Mooko will find a rabbit for Thursday.
Of course I am on board for that. I have to be.
I have been eating my hat all day due to failed RNS and I want to taste fizz.
Only 36 hours to wait
I’m blocking iTrader now!
I already have a bet on with zstatz tomorrow for an RNS and its impact.
The question I am debating this Sunday is what to do during this volatile week if CINE jumps 30%.
I know many of you will doubt that can happen and for good reasons - I like lTh's reason - but I like to be prepared.
So if we are suddenly over 155p, whatever shall I do? Could it possibly hold here?
Or would it be bound to fall back significantly?
Thanks for all the useful replies to this post. I leave iTrade out of that notice.
And Tondy, I did not mean to suggest we were at a 19p when the incentive programme came in - although we were very low.
My point is that compared to where we started a year ago or so, we are surprisingly close to the 190p figure, which was never very high compared to where the company had been just over a year before, let alone 2 years ago.
Quite amazing to be where we are already. Now at least to hold it and get over the 150 mark soon. And onwards.
Back when we were at 19 p I thought the 190p target to get Mooky's £33m share payout looked like a hard climb but from where we stand now, things look very different.
To hit 190 is only to get back to where it was a year ago - which was it's lowest price for 3 years!!!!
Surely we are going to sail past 150. Only then will things get interesting.
Hey zstarz, I think I was the first to read your post yesterday and, liking it, recommended it.
Damn, why didn't I think of stealing and reposting it too.
Bit like my investing - another missed opportunity.
Oh, well, I will settle for hoping you are right and live off the profits that will surely follow.
One thing you got right sure - next week will be interesting.
Okay, I am aware direct comparisons are not necessarily precise but goodness the trend in AMC is encouraging for we LTH Cine folk.
Excuse the ramping a few weeks ago - basically the charts are very similar to Cine, which is to say, heading back to pure-Covid levels, which even at their weakest were a lot better than £1.10 today. Fingers crossed.
Surely Mooky is talking to studios and distributors - what is good for one is good for all.
There is no question of one players acting unilaterally.
Oh, yes, things are looking positive for US which means great news for cine.
Now we just need the share price to wake up to the reality.
CNBC reports:
"“Studio confidence is key, and if this weekend was any indication, the industry is on the right track,” Dergarabedian said. “The theatrical marketplace is waking like a sleeping giant, and we are slowly but surely seeing the signs of a box-office revival.”
Add in 2 new demographics - one there are kids out there who have grown up during the last year or so and never NEVER seen a film on a big screen. They are going to want to go.
So too many kids / young adults who have had to settle for watching big movies on the small screen - they are going to want to see them again on the BIG SCREEN.
So that is £1.03 done and dusted.
Hope we never see £1.02 again.
So nice of you to tell us your tale, as it seems that while you feel "dirty" you could not miss telling everyone what a brilliant move you made. Sweet. But don't bother next time.
Gee, Thriller, if you know the results are going to be really bad. Maybe someone else does too.
Oh, yes, it's possible that someone besides you thinks income might be down with the cinemas closed.
And they might have priced that in already. Just a thought.
