752 must be old money. 350 would be a good target in the short term

[royjs] 09/8/2018 17:06

I’ve seen a TP of 752 from Peel Hunt not sure how realistic that is but 350 would be great!

[chrisfillyourboots] 09/8/2018 16:27

Chart looking good and TP of 350p looks easily attainable in next few trading sessions.

[eaglebeagle] 09/8/2018 09:30

Faith repaid!

[mozy123] 09/8/2018 09:12

Wonderful!

What’s a good entry point? That chart is hard to read given the fund raise

[andrewbaker] 18/6/2018 10:27

Worth buying more each time the price drops back as, IMHO, the price does not reflect the growth here, especially since the US expansion.

Star wars film flopping?

[bobogyo] 29/5/2018 16:44

what`s just happened today? any idea, or it is jus the pull on the global news?

Expect a very strong AGM Trading update this Wednesday with Black Panther and Avengers Infinity War smashing Box Office records and with Deadpool 2 and Star Wars about to open. Should trigger significant profit upgrades and re-rating from Brokers. Strong Buy.

Avengers: Infinity War now grossed $784,938,300 worldwide in the first 4 days since release putting it well on track to challenge Avatar as the all time #1 grossing movie at $2.78bn Given the significant operational gearing involved Avengers could have a material impact on Cineworld's earnings and when adding the other Marvel blockbuster BlackPanther in to the mix which has grossed $1.33bn since it's 16 Feb 2018 release plus pipeline of upcoming Blockbusters Cineworld's shares have material upside. TP 350p

[chrisfillyourboots] 02/5/2018 11:22

Not just any old one film release but probably the #1 grossing movie of all time. Already grossed $725m worldwide in just 5 days.

[grahamburn] 30/4/2018 09:29

Based on ONE film release??!!

[chrisfillyourboots] 30/4/2018 08:25

Expect a 10-20% gain in Cineworld as Avengers sets new worldwide box office records. Strong pipeline of other movies in next few weeks including Deadpool 2 and Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Cineworld racked up healthy gains after Berenberg added the stock to its preference list, saying the market is being overly bearish on the prospects for a US rebuild after the significant Regal acquisition and associated rights issue.

[philanderer] 13/4/2018 10:54

UBS reiterates 'buy' tp 320p up from 285p

[grahamburn] 15/3/2018 14:26

Day late, but this was in yesterday's Times. Might be an issue for both Cineworld in UK and, even more so, for Regal in USA.

Cpass cinema subscription heralds revolution at the box office

The Times

A subscription service may offer cinemagoers a film a day for a monthly fee of £9.95

A cinema subscription service could be on its way to the UK to cause havoc for an industry so far unscathed by the disruptive forces that have revolutionised music and television.

While record labels and television channels have had to cope with the arrival of Spotify, iTunes and Netflix, cinemas have relied upon almost exactly the same business model since the introduction of multiplexes in the 1980s.

Now a subscription service plans to offer customers a film a day at any venue for £9.95 a month. The business, Cpass, has not yet launched but it is identical to Moviepass in America which has infuriated cinema chains by offering subscribers daily films for a monthly fee of $7.95. Cinemas say the price misleads customers about the cost of showing films and will lead the subscription service to put pressure on cinemas to lower prices so that it can recoup the losses it makes from frequent moviegoers.

Moviepass has 1.5 million subscribers who are given a membership card that acts as a debit card operated by Mastercard. There is no way for cinemas to tell if a customer’s card is linked to the Moviepass app so the only way to reject users would be to refuse all Mastercard transactions.

When Moviepass dropped its price below $10 for the first time last year cinemas questioned how long the business could continue, given that it makes a loss when a member watches more than two films a month. AMC, the American cinema operator that also owns the British chain Odeon, said it was “actively working now to determine whether it may be feasible to opt out and not participate in this shaky and unsustainable programme” and said that the price “only sets up consumers for ultimate disappointment”;.

Moviepass has said that it can supplement its income by selling its users’ data to film companies but it is likely that it will make money in the long term if it can use its large customer base to pressure cinemas into giving it discounts. British cinemas such as Odeon, Vue and Cineworld had been unaffected until last week when their logos appeared on the Cpass website without their knowledge. The website, which has since removed the logos, is inviting people to register for a trial service.

Cpass was co-founded by Puya Vahabi, 33, a lecturer of data science at Berkeley, University of California. He wants to begin the service with 5,000 customers to limit losses and has not received any financial backing. “At the beginning there’s going to be a little bit of loss,” he said. “It’s a matter of making it sustainable per user by using other types of models.” Mr Vahabi, who has not yet applied for intellectual property rights, said in the long term the business would cover many types of entertainment across Europe. He said that there was a gap in the market that was not being filled by cinemas’ own subscription services, such as Odeon’s Limitless offer of films for £17.99 a month.

Phil Clapp, from the UK Cinema Association, said that a subscription service “needs to have economic viability”.

Stephen Follows, a film analyst, said that cinemas should see Cpass as “an existential threat”. He said a subscription service could apply the same pressure on cinemas that supermarkets use to obtain discounts from farmers.

Really good results today with solid profit and margin growth. Looking ahead, integration of Regel cinemas looks like its off to a positive start and there's good features lined up for the screens this year. Share price should get a good boost today.

Falls into the 'nicer problems to have' category....

[mozy123] 09/3/2018 12:12
