  • Which Cinema Stock Will Give You Max Returns?

    By Ben Popkin - June 14, 2013 | Tickers: CKEC, CNK, IMAX, RGC

    Going to see a movie used to be a good evening out with the family or a date, but now, people seem to be spending more time at home enjoying their personal entertainment systems. Since peaking in 2002, domestic theater attendance has dropped from 1.58 billion tickets sold to a projected 1.27 billion tickets to be sold in 2013. With Americans staying in to watch TV, what can more »

  • 3 Entertainment Stocks to Include in Your Portfolio

    By Damian Illia - June 13, 2013 | Tickers: CMCSK, IMAX, LGF

    The entertainment business provides plenty of growth opportunities for those smart and capable enough to seize them. Historically dominated by major players like Twentieth Century Fox, News Corp., Walt Disney and Warner Bros., this segment is all about being big and playing big: big budgets, big films, big screens, and big cable networks.

    In this article, I will look at three large companies within this segment that operate in different more »

  • More Risks for Regal to Reckon With

    By Brian Hill - May 13, 2013 | Tickers: CKEC, CNK, IMAX, RGC

    With nearly 7,000 screens and more than 500 theater locations, Regal Entertainment Group (NYSE: RGC) is the nation’s largest developer and operator of multi-screen theaters. 

    In its recently filed 10-K, they present a variety of risks the company faces, including the growing competition from video-on-demand and other home entertainment platforms,  which I analyzed in my previous post “Regarding the Risks of Being Regal”.

  • Gambling on an Investment or Investing in a Gamble

    By David Sluss - April 28, 2013 | Tickers: DDD, IMAX

    I prefer to ride the rollercoaster up, down, and sideways with a stock like 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE: DDD) than making an educated guess on the spread of the next football game, buying Powerball tickets every week, or even taking a trip to Vegas. If you are reading this, then we likely share this preference in common. This article compares the advantages/disadvantages (especially those related to taxation) of high-risk more »

  • Invest in These Movie Stocks Before Blockbuster 2015

    By Chris Katje - April 2, 2013 | Tickers: CNK, IMAX, RGC, TWX, DIS

    The year 2015 is already shaping up to be the best the movie industry has seen in quite some time. New movies being released in the year 2015 include "The Avengers 2," "Star Wars VII," "Justice League," "Mockingjay: Part 2," and "Avatar 2." This huge potential for movie companies and movie theaters should create several key buying opportunities for investors willing to sit on stocks for long term gains.

  • High Demand For 3D in 2013

    By Nadine Gibson - March 26, 2013 | Tickers: IMAX, RLD

    Editor's Note: This version has been corrected to reflect the correct amount of countries ReadD is in and the amount of films slated for their fiscal year.

    After undeniable successes of 3D films such as Avatar and the Hobbit in the box office and Life of Pie and Hugo in the Academy Awards, it looks like 3D is here to stay. Let's examine the prospects of two companies more »

  • The Jedi Portfolio

    By Jon Quast - March 25, 2013 | Tickers: HPQ, IMAX, ISRG, MAKO, DIS

    Although I am unaware of the Galactic Republic having a Kenobi Skywalker Industrial Average, wouldn't it be cool if you could invest like a Jedi?  Well, here's a couple of Jedi-like investments that would make even master Yoda proud.

    One of the most memorable scenes from the original trilogy was the holographic image of Princess Leia pleading "help me Obi Wan Kenobi."  The technology to produce more »

    From what I am currently seeing, the summer of 2013 looks like it will be very hot.  No, I'm not talking about a heat wave--I'm talking about all the movie releases planned by the different production houses. Here's a glimpse of the schedule of two of the biggest film-producing companies in the coming months.

  • IMAX: Maximum Growth, Minimum Risk

    By Leo Sun - March 12, 2013 | Tickers: CNK, IMAX, RGC, DIS

    Over the past decade, IMAX (NYSE: IMAX) has become synonymous with the premium experience of watching Hollywood blockbusters - on a screen as high as 98 feet with over 40 speakers. It wasn’t always this way - for the first three decades after its debut in 1971, IMAX was restricted to special presentations at museums and educational venues, since technical limitations kept films short, at approximately 40-50 minutes.

  • Will IMAX Be Able to Beat the Market?

    By Howard Cranford - February 1, 2013 | Tickers: IMAX, RGC

    In 2002, movie tickets sold reached a record breaking 1.58 billion tickets. Fast forward to 2011, and ticket sales are down to 1.30 billion, the worst year in recent movie history. 2012, however, looked to be a hopeful year in an industry that in the past decade only saw tickets sales rise twice. IMAX (NYSE: IMAX) has been able to turn a profit during this time and is more »

  • 3 Tech Stocks With Plans for the Future

    By Nihar Patel - January 29, 2013 | Tickers: GLW, IMAX, SNCR

    It is extremely difficult to find stocks for cutting-edge emerging technologies. Most of them are private, and the skunkworks operations of the major companies will not define earnings into the future. Guess you have to be extremely wealthy and be part of a venture fund to enjoy searching for those companies. Instead I found companies with possibly interesting technologies, but all of the companies will find a place for itself more »

  • Movie Madness for Q4?

    By Declan Fallon - January 18, 2013 | Tickers: CKEC, IMAX, RGC

    While the market continues to push the boundaries of its highs, individual stocks are doing their best to pop on to people's radars.   One stock which has enjoyed a renaissance since its March 2009 low is IMAX Corp (NYSE: IMAX).

    IMAX had plummeted to the depths of $2.41 a share during the worst of the credit crisis, but managed a fifteen-fold increase in share price over the next more »

  • Day Dreams to Nightmares For One Company

    By Tyler Wofford - January 15, 2013 | Tickers: CNK, DWA, IMAX, RGC, DIS

    A lot of people have been disappointed with the recent performance of video entertainment. Movie theaters seem to have passed by with easy access to online video streaming, and those companies have been very successful. Even with the growing business of entertainment, the traditional companies are still performing with some success. 

    Like many other businesses, last quarter was a struggle for Regal Entertainment Group (NYSE: RGC), but it performed better more »

  • Superior Experience Leads to Outsized Profits!

    By Danny Vena - January 8, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, SAM, IMAX, SBUX

    We live in an all too fast-paced world: multi-tasking, fast food, burnout, 24-hour news cycle, higher per-capita GDP, instant gratification, commuting, cliff notes, and stress.  We want it fast, cheap, served up piping hot, and 10-minutes ago, I have a schedule, an appointment and a meeting!

    The irony is that companies that buck the norm - some of the more successful companies of our time - are capitalizing on slowing down and more »

  • What is Holding IMAX Down?

    By Michael Carter - December 27, 2012 | Tickers: IMAX, RLD, RGC

    It has now been over 3 years since the winter blockbuster Avatar began its record-smashing journey in the box office to become the first film to break $2 billion in sales worldwide.  In that same time frame, IMAX (NYSE: IMAX) has soared over 73% in share price.  It could be said that Avatar began a chain reaction for future movies to implement IMAX and 3D technologies.  With the success of more »

  • Silver Screen Showdown - Making The Movies Happen

    By Ash Anderson - December 19, 2012 | Tickers: CNK, DLB, IMAX, SNE

    I went to see The Hobbit in cinemas, it was great! As a big moviegoer and an investor, I decided to take a look at the companies that make the on screen experience happen. Ignoring the massive media conglomerates that make and produce the movies we see, I decided instead to look at the folks I like to call “Experience Creators.” Those experience creators are IMAX (NYSE: IMAX), RealD (NYSE: RLDmore »)
