I know. THAT's the porn I was watching. BTW, you should have that mole on your left butt cheek checked out.

I don't know how you miss it if you have shares
Lemme know the next time
My take is that I missed the opportunity to sell the rest of my shares
What's your take on that spike to $41.50 yesterday?
It does seem to have reversed back up again. Weird day in the market.
Lions Gate and Skydance Productions team up for global TV distribution
9:15 AM ET 10/5/15 | MarketWatch
Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (LGF) and Skydance Productions, the company behind "Mission: Impossible--Rogue Nation" and Netflix Inc.'s (NFLX) "Grace and Frankie," have formed a new global TV distribution pact. The newly formed Skydance International will feature Skydance existing and emerging TV content around the world, following its initial U.S broadcast, and will augment the worldwide distribution of Lions Gate's content, according to a news release. Lions Gate distributes nearly 2,000 hours of TV programming around the world per year. The new pact will hopefully give the two more opportunities to tap into across the global TV marketplace. Skydance founder and Chief Executive David Ellison said teaming up with Lions Gate should strongly position Skydance as it makes its foray into the international TV market. Lions Gate said it's looking forward to traditional and disruptive global distribution opportunities, and plans to focus on innovative deals reflecting today's changing TV ecosystem. Skydance also announced Brandon Zimon as senior vice president of international TV sales and co-productions. Zimon previously worked at Sony Pictures TV (6758.TO) as vice president of international distribution. Lions Gate shares are up 20% in the year to date, outperforming the S&P, which is down more than 5%.

Sold off another 500 shares today.
I own a little MBLY. It is coming back to a near purchase level.
SWKS looks interesting.
I like MBLY and SWKS
Nice little entertainment company we own
Yeah, by the way, I guess I gotta thank you for the stock pick. Bought around $30, sold over $40. Not terribly awful.
You may now pick another for me.
Next Earnings Date 11/4/15
Dividend Payable Date 11/10/15
On 9/15/15, LGF announced a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share, payable on 11/10/15 to shareholders, with an ex-dividend date of 9/28/15.
Congrats on the profits!
When is the earnings report? Because what I see is the stock tends to pull back second week of September every year. I sold for an avg price of $40.32
I hear what you're saying. Yesterday was awesome and I was tempted to put a trailing stop but chose not to after the fed balked. Gonna keep a put or two close by next time that happens, but I still don't think November's movie is priced in.
Yeah, sold off 1500 shares after posting that. Guess I'm glad I did. Wish I had sold more. I hate knowing the right thing to do, but being hesitant to do it. Still have 1250 shares left.
to what? sell?
getting there
I think it may be time
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
A week? Was $39.73 on July 31st lol She's still fighting back from this week's market free fall but I've made a few bucks on some puts here...Hunger Games almost here

Way to go jinxy
I printed it and ate it.
Show me a link! LOL
I admit nothing. NOTHING! You promised me grand riches beyond my wildest dreams!
You have to admit this is holding up pretty well considering the dark red markets
Box office numbers for November's movie
Which numbers? Numbers came in.
Seemed like the right play with all the redness everywhere, and you got me thinking last month. Still think the November movie will bring it back to normal and hoping for new highs when the numbers come in.
NO just bought some $36 puts a couple days ago...still have the shares
So you dumped and didn't tell us?
Covered my basis
MACQUARIE ANALYST ON LIONSGATE: 'EVERYONE WANTS IT'
10:52 AM ET 8/2/15 | S&P Capital IQ
In a report published Friday, Macquarie analyst Amy Yong initiated coverage of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (USA) (NYSE: LGF) with an Outperform rating and a price target of $45. "Everything changes except great content. As content mercenaries, management has an insatiable appetite for seeking out avenues of growth with a low risk, high return discipline," analyst Amy Yong wrote. This financial disciple by the management had "translated into tremendous free cash flow potential." Yong expects Lions Gate to generate a 3-year CAGR of revenue, EBITDA and FCF of 8 percent, 11 percent and 20 percent till FY18. The analyst projected the company's EBITDA at $1.26bn, towards the high end of the management's guidance.

PIPER JAFFRAY HIKES LIONSGATE ESTIMATES...EXCITED ABOUT HUNGER GAMES, DIVERGENT, POWER RANGERS & MORE

SNPMarketScopeViewsNews2015-07-24 10:21:38.000LGFLIONS GATE ENTERTAINMENT CORP.Acquire MediaPIPER JAFFRAY HIKES LIONSGATE ESTIMATES...EXCITED ABOUT HUNGER GAMES, DIVERGENT, POWER RANGERS & MORE
In a report published Friday, Piper Jaffray analyst James M. Marsh maintained an Overweight rating on Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (USA) (NYSE: LGF), while raising the price target from $38 to $45. Analyst James Marsh said that Lions Gate was likely to have a "relatively slow start" to FY16, with revenues down 7 percent to $420M, primarily on account of Mockingjay 1 and Insurgent comping to Catching Fire and Divergent. "We also believe given Mockingjay's success with electronic sell-through (EST), much of packaged media sales were likely front-loaded in the prior quarter." Marsh added that the remainder of FY16 was likely to be positively impacted by "a robust slate and the growing Lionsgate TV business." The EBITDA estimate for FY16 has been raised slightly by 2 percent to $395M. Marsh added that this was likely to be more "back-loaded" due to the release of fourteen new television series and Mockingjay 2 later this fiscal year. In the report Piper Jaffray noted, "Longer term we like Lionsgate's feature film release slate (Gods of Egypt, Power Rangers, Odyssey and a possible Twilight extension), plus think the company will find more ways to work more symbiotically with John Malone's media empire (think Starz, Liberty Global and Discovery)." The EBITDA estimate for FY17 has been raised by 10 percent to $480M, representing 22 percent growth y/y. "We continue to be bullish on pure-play content names such as LGF," Marsh commented.

Surfing matriarch hits Lionsgate with gnarly lawsuit
http://www.avclub.com/article/surfing-matriarch-hits-lionsgate-gnarly-lawsuit-222794
I'm inclined to wait until final Hunger Game's box office numbers come through in November.
Way to go coffeeboy!....Where's the sell target? Seems to me like this stock will do well through the summer, then fall off again. Right now I have targeted the end of August to dump. What are your thoughts?
Bloomberg: Miramax seeking up to $1B in sale
Jul 17 2015, 20:27 ET | By: Jason Aycock, SA News Editor Contact this editor with comments or a news tip
Miramax, the studio home for prestige films founded by Harvey and Bob Weinstein, is looking for a buyer in a sale it hopes will draw $1B, Bloomberg reports.Investment is coming back to the film sector in a rebound year for movies, and studio owners Colony Capital and Qatar Holding are betting that content-hungry distributors will take an interest in an award-heavy film library, including Oscar winners like Shakespeare in Love, Pulp Fiction and Good Will Hunting.Colony Capital and the Qatar sovereign wealth fund were among the group that bought Miramax from Disney for $660M five years ago.Potential buyers? That could include content-acquisitive streaming services like Hulu (CMCSA, DIS, FOXA), Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) or Amazon.com's Instant Video (NASDAQ:AMZN), or studios like MGM or oft-rumored buyer Lions Gate (NYSE:LGF), says Variety's James Rainey. A price of $1B is too steep for some of them, but with low information, it's tough to put a solid value on Miramax.

About Lionsgate
Lionsgate is a nearly $2 billion diversified global entertainment corporation with a leading presence in motion picture production and distribution, television programming and syndication, home entertainment, family entertainment, digital distribution and new channel platforms. Lionsgate's blueprint for growth combines the flexibility and entrepreneurial culture of an independent, with the financial and strategic relationship of a major studio and the structure and consumer focus of a top digital age company.
During the past 10 years, Lionsgate has grown into a leading filmed entertainment studio through a combination of organic growth and accretive strategic acquisitions. With the acquisitions of Artisan Entertainment, Trimark Holdings and other available libraries, Lionsgate now manages one of the most prestigious and prolific libraries in the entertainment industry with nearly 13,000 titles, a diverse portfolio of businesses, and an exciting, commercially potent feature film slate of approximately12 to 15 releases per year.
Lionsgate's feature film slate generated more than half a billion dollars at the North American box office in calendar year 2010, fueled by such box office hits as THE EXPENDABLES, Lionsgate's most profitable film ever, THE LAST EXORCISM, SAW 3D, KICK ASS, TYLER PERRY'S WHY DID I GET MARRIED TOO? and the critically-acclaimed PRECIOUS, which won two Academy Awards®. Other hits in the past two years included DAYBREAKERS, MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D, HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT, FORBIDDEN KINGDOM, RAMBO and THE BANK JOB. Lionsgate has earned 55 Academy Award® nominations and 10 Oscar® wins over the past 10 years, more than any other independent studio.
Last fall, the Company announced its plans to partner with Latin media giant Televisa to form Pantelion Films, which acquires, produces and distributes a full slate of English and Spanish language feature films for the fast-growing audience of 26 million Hispanic moviegoers in the U.S. Supported by the top U.S. theatrical exhibition circuits, Pantelion kicked off its slate with the January 28, 2011 debut of the comedy FROM PRADA TO NADA.
The highly diversified company also features a vibrant television production and syndication business with 15 prime-time cable and broadcast network series spanning 12 channels, including the Emmy® Award-winning drama series "Mad Men" and "Weeds," the critically-acclaimed "Nurse Jackie" and the comedy "Blue Mountain State." Lionsgate's television programming has earned 77 Emmy® nominations and seven Emmy® wins in the past 10 years, including 26 Emmy® nominations in the past year alone.
The Company also has a syndicated portfolio of television series through its Debmar-Mercury television distribution arm that includes Tyler Perry's hit "House of Payne," with 212 total episodes produced for Turner Broadcasting and the Fox syndicated station group, its spinoff "Meet the Browns," "The Wendy Williams Show," the recently launched comedy "Are We There Yet?" on TBS, the upcoming "Jeremy Kyle Talk Show" and such evergreen classics as "South Park," "Family Feud" and "Trivial Pursuit."
Lionsgate's $600-million-a-year home entertainment business has 7% market share and the industry's highest box office-to-DVD conversion rate, including such recent hit titles as THE EXPENDABLES, KICK ASS, PRECIOUS, the first five seasons of "Weeds," the first three seasons of "Mad Men" and the first season of "Nurse Jackie."
Lionsgate is also building a portfolio of new channel businesses, including FEARnet, the branded horror channel operated with partners Sony and Comcast, TV Guide Network, acquired in February 2009 and operated in conjunction with JPMorgan's One Equity Partners, EPIX, the new premium entertainment channel with partners Viacom and MGM, and Tiger Gate, which operates the branded action and horror channels Kix and Thrill in Asia in partnership with the Saban Capital Group.
TV Guide Network, a fully distributed channel reaching over 80 million homes, has achieved significant growth of its content and distribution businesses in its first two years under the Lionsgate banner, and it is airing the recently-acquired strips "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Weeds" and "Ugly Betty" with fresh original programming in the pipeline. TV Guide.com is a leading online navigation site which has grown from 5 million to 21 million unique monthly visitors in the past three years.
EPIX continues to gain momentum with its transformative carriage agreement with Netflix along with other recent carriage deals with Verizon, Charter, Cox, Suddenlink, Mediacom, NCTC and DISH Network. EPIX has gone from launch to profitability in its first year and is already available in more than 30 million homes.
Tiger Gate is expanding its distribution footprint across Asia, with recent launches in Hong Kong, Singapore and Indonesia, and it is scheduled to roll out to the Philippines and additional key Asian territories in the next year. Its Thrill channel showcases high-end local Asian horror films and thrillers and hit television series, and it will also leverage Lionsgate's vast stockpile of horror/thriller content as well as other Hollywood studio hits. The Kix channel is a fast-paced, action-packed channel featuring a mix of Asian blockbuster motion pictures, hit television series, cutting edge reality series, action game shows, anime, extreme sports, mixed martial arts events and classic martial arts masterpieces, bringing together a broad spectrum of Asian content as well as international content with an Asian influence.
Other companies within the Lionsgate family include Lionsgate UK (originally Redbus Film Distributors), acquired in October 2005, and the independent production and distribution company Mandate Pictures, acquired in August 2007, which subsequently released the box office hit and Best Picture Academy Award® nominee JUNO, as well as HAROLD AND KUMAR 2, NICK AND NORA'S INFINITE PLAYLIST and Sam Raimi's DRAG ME TO HELL.
Lionsgate has also made investments in Break.com, the leading online site for young men ages 18-34 with more than 80 million monthly unique users worldwide, and in Roadside Attractions, an independent film production and distribution platform that released the drama WINTER'S BONE, which earned four Academy Award® nominations this year, Best Foreign Language Film nominee BIUTIFUL which also earned a Best Actor nomination for Javier Bardem and last year's Academy Award® winning documentary THE COVE. Lionsgate has also created a vibrant global distribution infrastructure that includes the product of a growing roster of third parties including Relativity Media, Gold Circle Films, Televisa and StudioCanal, in addition to Lionsgate's own content.
During the past 10 years, Lionsgate has grown its revenues eightfold, from $180 million to nearly $1.6 billion, its theatrical box office market share tenfold, the size of its library 15 times over and its television revenues by a multiple of 50, from $8 million in 2000 to $351 million last year.
