In its interim results statement for the six months ended June 30, 2021, Cineworld said, "US equity capital markets are the largest and most liquid in the world and include a large number of publicly listed cinema companies, including peer group companies. These companies are typically covered by a significant number of North American equity analysts with a wide domestic investor following." "The board is therefore considering options to maximize shareholder value now and into the future by accessing this liquidity through a listing of Cineworld or a partial listing of Regal in the U.S."
