Cineworld Group plc was founded in 1995 and is now one of the leading cinema groups in Europe. Originally a private company, it re-registered as a public company in May 2006 and listed on the London Stock Exchange in May 2007. Currently, Cineworld Group plc is the only quoted UK cinema business.
In December 2012, the Group acquired the Picturehouse chain of cinemas consisting of 21 cinemas, and in February 2014, the combination with Cinema City completed, creating the second largest cinema business in Europe (by number of screens). The enlarged Group now has 217 sites and a total of 2,000 fully digital screens. Our portfolio includes four out of the ten highest grossing cinemas in the UK and Ireland. We pride ourselves on outstanding picture quality and atmospheric surround sound; the soft, deep-down comfort of our modern seating; the crunch of our popcorn; and, most importantly, the friendliest customer service around. All our sites are digital, and we are one of the market leaders in 3D, a format which will become increasingly important.
In 2014, Cineworld accounted for 82.9 million admissions, had revenues of £619.4 million and an Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) before exceptional items of £126.6 million.

Reading the above, will Cineworld try and take over Vue, the third largest cinema group.

prob not a bad stock to buy ...... arguably worth considering RTN too whose sites are often adjacent

RTN had some stinky figures from memory but could easily become a t/o target

The CINE positive over RTN is a cheaper evening/visit, with the publics spare cash tightening. . The cinema seems to stand up well, when there is less cash about and especially if good quality films are shown.

certainly been performing very well as the chart shows
currently at all-time high of 689
perhaps still some puff left

ST of IC did say take profits about a week ago.
