LGF move
Curious to see LGF gaining in a mildly down market today -
Glanced at Metacritic and see that so far, Insurgent has a
miserable 42 rating. While it may be like the last Hunger Games
movie - net positive revenue, but not a well rated film and not a
box office blockbuster by any means, LGF historically seems
to lose ground after disappointing film releases. As with
Mockingjay, there msut be a teen audience who will go no matter
what. But it would be nice to see them put out the quality of film
they became known for. They're still leveraging properties by
continually announcing deals and partnerships, which only seem to
be noticed by the market when CC time comes around and they beat
numbers. In any case, I really hope Insurgent's score is a small
sample anomalous indicator, and I hope this isn't the beginning of
a trip back to the 20's.

I am a fan, but loved Mockingjay Part I. I am so dissapointed
with Alligient that it might be hard for me to pay money to go see
Insurgent, but I will watch it when it "comes to cable". I
mentioned this before on Stockarena that I think that franchise may
struggle with this and coming iterations because of fan
dissapointment with how the plot goes in the 3rd book. Not sure
that it would be worth pricing in at this point, but I would keep
an eye on it.

LGF - my wife watched the new movie at the cinema because she
had a free ticket, said it was fine, but she has no plans to watch
the last movie (or is it two?) unless they change it from the book.
She hated the books ending.
First weekend numbers seemed decent. I'm kicking myself for not
buying more in the $20's recently, but I'm still holding a small
position for potential buyout.
