Wellington City Council has ended negotiations with Reading Cinemas on a proposed deal aimed at reopening the cinema complex on Courtenay Place.
Senior Council staff reached a position where they did not believe they would be able to reach the best possible outcomes for Wellingtonians and the decision was made this week to not pursue the proposal further.
The big advantage to a big complex like Reading, is with the number of screens they have, you have a number of options for screening times, and can decide whether to get the one starting in ten minutes, or get lunch and get the screening happening in 45 minutes.
