It's just my opinion but I dont think we'll see a new release of this film anytime soon.

I suspect that the film business on it's own would turn a nice profit. Maybe a spinoff.
It ain’t over. If I had a spare billion I would dump everything not related to film, coating and chemicals. Then buy back the rights to consumer still films and paper from Alaris or merge. Then get the kids shooting Instamatics and having fun again.
You are correct. No one can convince me, that, unburdened of the executive tower, that Kodak wouldn't make handsome profits making film. There is solid demand for their product. The dopey cell phones (Why would you call it Ektar??? Hello... Instamatic!!!) I'm still hoping for Ektachrome under my Christmas tree, or maybe in my Easter basket?F**k the s̶c̶a̶m̶ stock market & all the sky is falling talk. Buy Kodak films if you like Kodak films. Obsessing over earnings reports is not helpful. Of course things are going to be shaky for a while, they're not instantly going to turn into Apple. Good films are still being made on the only Kodak stocks that matter, 50D, 250D/T, 500T & Double-X. Murder on the Orient Express was just shot on Kodak 65mm film and processed in new Kodak labs. I still process thousands of feet of Kodak Alaris films monthly, and my lab is small.
This may be it in a nutshell. They put all their money on the wrong horse??As a professional in the printing industry I see Kodak from two sides, there is film production, and there is their digital production printing division. Five years ago at the US printing industry's annual trade show in Chicago (Graph Expo) Kodak had the largest booth at the show showing off their latest high speed production ink jet variable data printer. The specs were impressive, the machine looked good, but nobody was looking at it, even back then people were wary of Kodak and the long term support they could supply. I was at that show to buy and I wasn't going to talk to Kodak.
One year later Kodak had a 10x10 booth trying desperately to interest people in their products, they haven't put in an appearance at the show since then. I believe our best bet is to hope Kodak Alaris can buy enough equipment from Kodak to continue film production once the creditors move in and shut Kodak down.

DoneIf you truly believe in Kodak's future, now is the time to buy shares. There's a lot of positive talk about Kodak here, but who will put their money where their mouth is?
I've read what he wrote three times and can't find where he's suggested that Kodak should "simply ignore that." Clearly he wouldn't and clearly Kodak isn't.From your post you appear to run a business. I wonder, would you ignore financial information that clearly and unmistakably showed that your previously profitable business showed both a steep decline in revenue and significant losses (no profit). Would you ignore that and keep your head buried firmly in the sand?
If your business lost (in one day) nearly 30% of it's total value, would you simply ignore that?
I bought a 1000 shares, ALL OR NONE, It took a long while to execute because the lots being offered for sale are small. Old Baron Rothschild said " Buy when there's Blood in the Streets, even if it's your own!" This could be a good group thing for "The Group Formerly Known as APUG" we could take over EK spin off their printing business and bring back Kodachrome and Cadmium laced EktalureNo value seekers in sight yes. Share prices continue to drop, although "only" -3% so far today.
We'll call the group KPUG!I bought a 1000 shares, ALL OR NONE, It took a long while to execute because the lots being offered for sale are small.
