Reading International announced that it plans to focus on the implementation of their cinema business plan, which includes the enhancement of food and beverage offerings, procuring additional cinema liquor licenses, and refurbishing older cinemas with luxury seating and premium large formats.
President and Chief Executive Officer Ellen Cotter said, “Our third quarter 2022 global revenue grew 61% year-over-year to $51.2M, demonstrating our operational progress in a post-COVID environment. This progress occurred despite the headwinds of a soft Hollywood movie slate in August and September and, with respect to our Australian and New Zealand operations, an appreciation of the U.S. dollar that has impacted U.S. based multi-nationals in general. Despite the lackluster film slate over the last few months, we know our global audiences are excited about the upcoming holiday theatrical movie season to be led by Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Avatar: The Way of Water, two of Hollywood’s strongest franchises.”
Reading Cinemas ranked #20 on Boxoffice PRO‘s Giants of Exhibition 2022 ranking of North America’s largest cinema exhibition circuits, with 238 screens at 24 locations.
