Best for a first-release blockbuster on a wet Rotorua day. Reading's five-screen complex on Eruera Street shows the big family titles in 2D and 3D, with a candy bar, parking and pram access.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
A dependable pick when the kids want the latest release and the weather has closed the outdoor options. Sound and picture do the job and parking is easy. Budget for the candy bar or eat beforehand, and choose a shorter film for younger kids, since the seats sit upright rather than recline.

“Just saw the Harry Potter marathon and all i gotta say is it was spectacular. Great recliners and popcorn was hot and delicious. The staff was really friendly and i got free refills for just 3 extra dollars so it came out to $21.50 for food and i would definitely recommend coming here.”

“Food and drinks were very expensive! The cinema was quite hot and smelly when we walked in. And i feel like you should be able to lean back in your chair slightly they were very uncomfortable. But other than that experience was great perfect volume, really good popcorn, great movie we took the kids to watch mario.”

Overview
Reading Cinemas is Rotorua's main multiplex, a five-screen complex on Eruera Street in the town centre with just under 600 seats and the first-release programme you would expect from a chain: the big family animations and blockbusters in 2D and Dolby 3D. It is a conventional cinema rather than a boutique one, with standard upright seating, a candy bar and parking, and it is the obvious wet-weather fallback when the geothermal parks are rained off. Reviews are solid rather than glowing.
