Exhibit 99.1

/C O R R E C T I O N — Reading International, Inc./

Tuesday February 21, 4:18 pm ET

In the news release, Australian Government Approves Zoning of Reading’s (Amex: RDI — News) Burwood Site, issued earlier today by Reading International, Inc. over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the third paragraph, third sentence, should read “the property could have a value in excess of $750 million” rather than “$650 million” as originally issued inadvertently.

Australian Government Approves Zoning of Reading’s Burwood Site

     Los Angeles, California, — (PR NEWSWIRE) – February 21, 2006 – Reading International, Inc. (AMEX: RDI) announced today that it has received Victorian State government approval of its plans to develop its approximately 50 acre Burwood property in Australia, located in suburban Melbourne, Victoria. That property is currently unimproved.

     Reading’s Burwood property is located in the demographic center of greater Melbourne at the intersection of the Burwood Highway and Middleborough Road and is the largest undeveloped parcel of land in any “major activity centre” in Victoria, Australia. Approximately 430,000 people live within five miles of the site, which is well served by both public transit and surface streets. Reading estimates that approximately 70,000 people pass by the site each day.

     Pursuant to this approval, the property has been rezoned to allow for a much broader variety of uses than previously allowed, including retail, entertainment, commercial and residential. It is anticipated that the project will be constructed in a variety of phases, commencing late this year and looking to final completion sometime in 2015 and require an investment in excess of $500 million. Projections indicate that, upon completion, the property could have a value in excess of $650 million.

     Under the now approved zoning scheme, these individual phases will still require the approval of specific development plans consistent with this overall zoning designation, but the overall use issues pertaining to the site have now been resolved. The remaining issues relate principally to project and building design, rather than to use issues.

     Reading’s Burwood property, together with certain adjoining properties, was first designated as a “major activity centre” in 2002 pursuant to “Melbourne 2030,” an overall land use strategy adopted by the Victoria State Government to manage the growth and development of Melbourne. Under Melbourne 2030, “major activity centres” are described as generally having the following characteristics:

• A mix of activities that generate high number of trips, including business, retail services and entertainment;

• Being generally well-served by multiple transport routes, some being on the rail network, or being capable of being linked to that network;

• Having potential to grow and support intensive housing development without conflicting with surrounding land uses;

1

• Supplement the network of Principal Activity Centres; and

• Provide additional scope to accommodate ongoing investment and change in retail, office, service and residential markets.

     Our statements in this press release contain a variety of forward-looking statements as defined by the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect only our expectations regarding future events and operating performance and necessarily speak only as of the date the information was prepared. No guarantees can be given that our expectation will in fact be realized, in whole or in part. You can recognize these statements by our use of words such as, by way of example, “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” and “anticipate” or other similar terminology.

     These forward-looking statements reflect our expectation after having considered a variety of risks and uncertainties. However, they are necessarily the product of internal discussion and do not necessarily completely reflect the views of individual members of our Board of Directors or of our management team. Individual Board members and individual members of our management team may have different view as to the risks and uncertainties involved, and may have different views as to future events or our operating performance.

     Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or underlying our forward-looking statements are the following:

• With respect to our cinema operations:

• The number and attractiveness to movie goers of the films released in future periods;

2

• The amount of money spent by film distributors to promote their motion pictures;

• The licensing fees and terms required by film distributors from motion picture exhibitors in order to exhibit their films;

• The comparative attractiveness of motion pictures as a source of entertainment and willingness and/or ability of consumers (i) to spend their dollars on entertainment and (ii) to spend their entertainment dollars on movies in an outside the home environment; and

• The extent to which we encounter competition from other cinema exhibitors, from other sources of outside of the home entertainment, and from inside the home entertainment options, such as “home theaters” and competitive film product distribution technology such as, by way of example, cable, satellite broadcast, DVD and VHS rentals and sales, and so called “movies on demand;”

• With respect to our real estate development and operation activities:

• The rental rates and capitalization rates applicable to the markets in which we operate and the quality of properties that we own;

• The extent to which we can obtain on a timely basis the various land use approvals and entitlements needed to develop our properties;

• The availability and cost of labor and materials;

• Competition for development sites and tenants; and

• The extent to which our cinemas can continue to serve as an anchor tenant which will, in turn, be influenced by the same factors as will influence generally the results of our cinema operations;

• With respect to our operations generally as an international company involved in both the development and operation of cinemas and the development and operation of real estate; and previously engaged for many years in the railroad business in the United States:

• Our ongoing access to borrowed funds and capital and the interest that must be paid on that debt and the returns that must be paid on such capital;

• The relative values of the currency used in the countries in which we operate;

• Changes in government regulation, including by way of example, the costs resulting from the implementation of the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley;

• Our labor relations and costs of labor (including future government requirements with respect to pension liabilities, disability insurance and health coverage, and vacations and leave);

• Our exposure from time to time to legal claims and to uninsurable risks such as those related to our historic railroad operations, including potential environmental claims and health related claims relating to alleged exposure to asbestos or other substances now or in the future recognized as being possible causes of cancer or other health related problems;

• Changes in future effective tax rates and the results of currently ongoing and future potential audits by taxing authorities having jurisdiction over our various companies; and

• Changes in applicable accounting policies and practices.

3

     The above list is not necessarily exhaustive, as business is by definition unpredictable and risky, and subject to influence by numerous factors outside of our control such as changes in government regulation or policy, competition, interest rates, supply, technological innovation, changes in consumer taste and fancy, weather, and the extent to which consumers in our markets have the economic wherewithal to spend money on beyond-the-home entertainment.

     Given the variety and unpredictability of the factors that will ultimately influence our businesses and our results of operation, it naturally follows that no guarantees can be given that any of our forward-looking statements will ultimately prove to be correct. Actual results will undoubtedly vary and there is no guarantee as to how our securities will perform either when considered in isolation or when compared to other securities or investment opportunities.

     Finally, please understand that we undertake no obligation to publicly update or to revise any of our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable law. Accordingly, you should always note the date to which our forward-looking statements speak.

     Additionally, certain of the presentations included in this press release may contain “pro forma” information or “non-US GAAP financial measures.” In such case, a reconciliation of this information to our US GAAP financial statements will be made available in connection with such statements.

BRICKWORKS SITE DECLARED A PRORITY FOR DEVELOPMENT

A former brickworks site in Burwood Heights has been included in a Priority Development Zone, opening the way for a new residential, leisure and commercial centre, the Minister for Planning, Mr Rob Hulls announced today.

Mr Hulls’ approval follows advice from the Priority Development Panel (PDP), which considered Whitehorse City Council’s request for the planning scheme to be amended.

Mr Hulls lauded the Council’s contribution to the new status of the site, which is bounded by the Burwood Highway, Middleborough and Eley roads.

“Council’s work on the structure planning process for not only the brickworks site, but also the broader Burwood Heights centre, has been first-rate.” he said.

The Planning Scheme amendment includes the following:

• Rezoning the former Brickworks site to a Priority Development Zone.

• Incorporating a framework plan and building heights plan into the Whitehorse Planning Scheme.

• Introducing a new policy for the Burwood Heights Activity Centre and the former Brickworks site.

Mr Hulls said Council’s initial amendment was changed in several ways to address issues that arose during the course of the Priority Development Panel process.

The changes include:

• Permits being required for shops when the total area exceeds 3000m2 rather than 5000m2.

• When the total shop area exceeds 3000m2, planning applicants are required to give notice and third-party review rights are maintained.

• Modifications to address transport related issues.

• Modifications to planning controls to better reflect the site’s intended development.

“Council’s aim to develop the former brickworks site into an activity centre featuring a mix of residential, leisure, retail, commercial and open space mirrors the ideals of Melbourne 2030,” Mr Hulls said.

“The proposed redevelopment will have great benefits to the City of Whitehorse’s residents and businesses.”
