Bloody hell, anyone been keeping an eye on cases across the pond? Nearly halved in the past few days. With so much of the country completely open! (Even New York is about 75% open!).

Unfortunately, at the same time, HKG, UK, Spain, Belgium, Germany are seeing “spikes” ...though, a lot easier to control them here than in the US!

Evening Chaps / Chapettes,

I had my first post-lockdown Cinema experience this afternoon & I thought I’d share some of it with you (mostly) lovely folks.

Firstly, having spoken to nearly 30 people about this over the past week - NOT ONE knew cinemas were reopening & NOT ONE knew what “Unhinged” was.

It’s a shame really, I posted something online when I bought my popcorn and 3 people were amazed & excited cinemas were open - but had no idea they had actually opened! More publicity is needed really - the posters around Cineworld Wembley were of “Invisible Man” - something I saw in Feb!

Anyway. So decided to go to Cineworld Wembley (usually a VUE man, but thought I’d drive an extra 5 minutes to support the cause!).

Constant drip of people in and out - more staff around than required - most just on their phones.

Counted every person coming in (much to my misuses amusement) - there were 16 people in our screen. Capacity by my estimates was 170-180. On my weekly cinema trips I usually estimate 30-50 people...Unhinged was fine, big RC fan - give it a 5.5/10. Worth a watch. Will be seeing Batman (haven’t decided which one) sometime in the coming week.

Overall - 16 people when no one I know personally is even aware cinemas are open is an acceptable first couple days. I’ll report back later this week but I can put money on there being more & more people as the word spreads! Even my sister wasn’t aware but is now planning a trip this week.

Would’ve been very surprised if I saw more than 25/30 people today, and likewise if I saw less than 5/6 - reality landed somewhere in the middle. As it often does with most things!

@JBS HAHHAHAHA!

@Hosai I wondered the same thing a little while ago. AMC are in a worse financial position than CINE are - i can’t seem to figure out why their sp isn’t crashing! I was so close to buying in - but just thought it must be a bear trap there’s no way it should still be at nearly 60% if pre covid levels! Alas...

BULL FFFFFFFFF********NNNNNNNN RUNNNNNNNNN *YEEEHaaaaaaWWWWWW*

BULLLLLLL FUUUUCCCCCC********NNNNNN RUNNNN!

(Thought that was the deal next time it turned green?)

And that’s CNN saying it!! Says something.

You know I didn’t make it up because I can’t spell platoe

CNN (1 hour ago) -

The US sees early signs that new coronavirus cases may have hit a plateau

@CINE tbh mate, nobody knows when. But one thing is for certain, it is VERY LIKELY to happen.

I am at the Gym as we speak. It is busier than it usually was pre-lockdown on a Sunday evening. Not by much, but still BUSIER! Cinemas fare well in economic uncertainty. US numbers could be plateauing - if I were you I wouldn’t jump ship at this price.

Don’t listen to the one sided morons. The ones who buy in @95p and say “I knew it was going bust” - or the ones who keep going on about debt without appreciating the bigger picture. It is very easy to spout rubbish when you aren’t invested.

Block them as I have done and do your own (balanced) research :). GL!

“Encouraging U.K. retail sales data failed to inject any life into the FTSE 100. Sales climbed 13.9% in June, beating consensus estimates of an 8.3% rise, with sales now higher than they were before the pandemic.”

Markets were down today, US-China relations, movie delays, infections in the US. It happens. However, a lot of positive economic data - sales up, BoE Chief Economist saying we are currently seeing a “V”.

For all the silent listeners, they’ll be 2 extremes - truth is somewhere in between. RS & M00la always worth listening to.

Shorter guy isn’t worth listening too. “Up or down I make money” when asked how he’s investing. Weird.
Twateroid changes his opinion every other day, whilst going on about his one trade & thinking he’s rich.
Akorn invested at 92p when he said himself he thought it is going to zero.

Do your own research - if you’re here to invest, huge upside potential, it’s not risk free, but you’re not day trading so chill out and if the reasons you initially invested haven’t changed - there’s no reason to panic!

When it’s a red day, look away, come back another day. :)

Didn’t you say IFRS16 $8000 million debt? Now it’s 7700? ....that’s good news. Didn’t know we were making $100 million / week during lockdown!!!!!

£1.50 close on Sunday ! :D

"Roughly half of the roughly 25% fall in activity during March and April has been clawed back over the period since," he said.
"We have seen a bounceback. So far, it has been a 'V'.

BoE chief economist ^

I knew what you meant Damod :)

You haven’t answered the question...

What was the short % when it hit £1 twice?

£1 tomorrow. Bankruptcy...whatever happens with this stock, the one thing I will never forget is...

$8000 million IFRS 16.

Anyone see that spike to 58p today?! Boy this baby likes to play hardball.

Markets are torn - vaccine news, “low death toll”, at the same time 70,000 daily cases in the US, Trump causing a complete sh*t-storm politically, but low covid cases in Europe, but new spike in Tokyo, but Sweden saying 30% of the population have T-cells + 8% roughly showed antibodies, BOJO saying UK can open up further on the 1st of August, New York saying they are going to open “super slow” (technical term), Movies could be delayed (or not), however consumer confidence is still there and people want to go to the cinema......hence I don’t believe Monday is priced in *yet* ....IF the news is BIG. If it’s simply “we made some progress but still not sure” then I don’t anticipate a huge upswing. However, it seems there’s a good chance it could be BIG news :D!

I go to the cinema so others can shush the mrs when she tries to ask “who’s this” every 5 minutes... This way, I don’t get into trouble!! XD. All in jest. (In case she’s listening!)

Thanks for the update! I would like to see them open if I’m honest. Personally, I would happily watch some older stuff for a few weeks - Gladiator, Wolf of Wall Street, Exorcist ....for the mrs she wants La La Land, Pretty woman. I do think they would get some better than expected turn outs!! Even play Godfather 1/2& 3 in one showing !! That would get the ball rolling

“Dr Fauci predicts US will meet end-of-year vaccine target; Canada approaches zero daily deaths.”

Bull rally coming? ....incredible. Apparently Fauci said if we add a pinch of Vegas crack the vaccine should be good to go!

What a great day! It actually held up!! :D

Me and the annoying half love the cinema - closest one is VUE. But today I suggested once cinemas open properly we visit the Cineworld in Wembley (20 minutes further for us) because Cineworld looks quite “cool”.

She replied “hold on, haven’t you invested in Cineworld?” And burst out laughing.

This was 2 hours ago ...rumour has it she is still laughing.

Every little helps though?
