Reading International, Inc. (NASDAQ:RDI) announced today that it has
reached an agreement with Charter Hall regarding its continued lease of
the Cinema located at Riverdale shopping centre in Dubbo, Australia.
Reading has operated the cinema complex since June 1999 and the Company
looks forward to maintaining its strong relationship with the Dubbo
community.
Reading Entertainment’s Managing Director, Wayne Smith, said: “It’s a
great outcome for all concerned, although more so for our loyal
customers who have supported the cinema for many years. We are very
excited about the cinema’s future, staying in Dubbo and providing the
best entertainment we can. Late last year the cinema was fitted out with
world class digital projection systems that have greatly improved the
film presentation therefore it’s a natural progression for the complex
to undergo a face lift and refurbishment which is planned for September
this year. We look forward to showcasing our new offer and kicking off a
brand new era of movie going in Dubbo.”
Reading will host a ‘red carpet’ film premiere night upon completion of
the refurbishment and locals will have an opportunity to win tickets to
the event.
