National Cinema Day at Reading Cinemas

Overview

The silver-screen experience is always worth celebrating. A darkened haven dedicated to watching movie magic? Films projected big enough to span entire walls? Ideally no phones or other distractions? No matter how many times you've seen a flick in a picture palace, it's pure bliss. And, like everything, there's a day to celebrate it: National Cinema Day.

Every single day is a great day to hit up your favourite theatre, but Sunday, August 31, 2025 comes with a bonus at Reading Cinemas sites across Australia: $5 tickets. That's all you'll pay for a standard or premium session all day for one day only. Fancy hitting up its Titan screens instead? That'll only set you back $10. And for its Gold Lounge and SoHo Lounge, you'll pay $15.

Reading operates six cinemas across Queensland, including Newmarket, Jindalee and the Angelika in Woolloongabba, if you're wondering where to go to see a cheap flick.

And your viewing options? They vary per cinema, but include Weapons, Freakier Friday, Nobody 2, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Caught Stealing, the new The Naked Gun and 50th-anniversary sessions of Jaws, among other titles.

Two caveats: the deals aren't available for event screenings, Q&As or other special events, and there's still a booking fee if you're getting your tickets online.
