(2) Pro-forma results reflect the Group and US performance had Regal been consolidated for the entirety of the period from 1 January 2018. For the purposes of percentage movements, the same comparative period has been applied. Performance against the comparative period has been calculated by taking the Regal performance, converted to IFRS, for the same period from 1 January 2017 to 31 December2017, to present the consolidated performance as if Regal had been acquired on 1 January 2017. (3) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Operating profit plus share of profits from joint ventures using the equity accounting method net of tax adjusted for depreciation and amortisation, onerous lease charges and releases, impairments and reversals of impairments, transaction and reorganisation costs, gains/losses on disposals of assets and subsidiaries, share based payment charges, and share of profits received from associates in excess of distributions or any undistributed such profits. Adjusted profit before tax is calculated by adding back amortisation of intangible assets (excluding acquired film distribution rights), and certain non-recurring or non-cash items and foreign exchange difference arising on monetary assets and liabilities as set out in Note 6. Adjusted profit before tax is an internal measure used by management, as they believe it better reflects the underlying performance of the Group and therefore a more meaningful comparison of performance from period to period. Adjusted profit after tax is arrived at by applying an effective tax rate to taxable adjustments and deducting the total from adjusted profit before tax.

  • Table of Stakeholder Engagement June 2018 to February 2019
    Table of stakeholder engagement June 2018 to February 2019 The table below shows stakeholder engagement with the reduction and reformulation programmes covered by Public Health England (PHE) between June 2018 and February 2019. This engagement covers, for example, attendance at the calorie reduction stakeholder forums in October 2018 and subsequent business 1:1’s, discussions on baby food reformulation, and meetings with the eating out of home sector that had not yet engaged with the reduction and reformulation programme. It is our understanding that many stakeholders are working towards achieving the aims and ambitions of the programmes but would not have necessarily had direct engagement with PHE during this timeframe. The programmes are at different stages and this is reflected in the level and focus of engagement with businesses and wider stakeholders in the table below. For example, given the sugar reduction programme is established, work on sugar reduction did not form the focus of PHE’s engagement during the time frame covered here and instead PHE concentrated on engaging stakeholders most relevant to programmes that are at an earlier stage of development (for example, calorie reduction, baby food reformulation) and/or with industry sectors where engagement is more mixed. Although every effort has been taken for this table to be comprehensive there may be some instances where this has not been possible. 1 Calorie reduction Sugar reduction Baby food reformulation Out of home business engagement1 2 Retailers Aldi Stores Limited ✓ Asda Stores Limited ✓ ✓ Co-operative Food ✓ J Sainsbury plc ✓ ✓ Lidl UK ✓ ✓ Marks & Spencer plc ✓ SPAR UK ✓ Tesco Stores Limited ✓ Waitrose ✓ Wilko ✓ WM Morrison Supermarkets plc ✓ Manufacturers Allied Bakeries ✓ Associated British Foods plc ✓ Babease Baby Plan ✓ Bear Nibbles ✓ CSM Bakery Solutions ✓ Danone ✓ Delifrance (UK) Limited ✓ Dr.

  • Screendollars
    Monday, May 24, 2021 | No. 169 When Star Wars opened May 25, 1977 no one but Steven Spielberg thought it would be a hit. George Lucas had been turned down by Universal, United Artists and Disney before pitching 20th Century Fox his sci-fi epic inspired by 1930's serials like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, the 1966 TV series Star Trek and Frank Herbert's 1965 novel Dune. Fox creative affairs chief Alan Ladd, Jr. greenlighted SW, but Fox's distribution arm never considered it a likely hit. Fox marketers wanted to change the title because moviegoers might think Star Wars was about the Vietnam War or, perhaps, superstars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's divorce. When Lucas screened a rough cut for some director pals, they weren't impressed. Brian De Palma reportedly called it the "worst movie" ever made. Spielberg, however, predicted SW would be "the biggest movie of all time." Lucas thought SW was doomed and skipped its premiere to vacation with Spielberg in Hawaii where they heard SW was a boxoffice phenomenon and then came up with a new project to do together -- Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), the first Indiana Jones blockbuster. Exhibitors were reluctant to book SW, thinking only kids and sci-fi buffs would buy tickets, so it opened at just 32 theatres. Two days later, it was in 43 theatres and a week later in 157. It peaked in mid-August at 1,096, a very wide run then. Produced for $11 million, its original release did $461 million domestically and $196 million abroad – huge numbers at Theatrical Poster for Star Wars, the time.
