Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  Basis of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries as well as majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company controls, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“ 2018 Form 10-K”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As such, they do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. We believe that we have included all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period.  Operating results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 .  Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Significant estimates include (i) projections we make regarding the recoverability and impairment of our assets (including goodwill and intangibles), (ii) valuations of our derivative instruments, (iii) recoverability of our deferred tax assets, (iv) estimation of breakage and redemption experience rates, which drive how we recognize breakage on our gift card and gift certificates, and revenue from our customer loyalty program, and (v) allocation of insurance proceeds to various recoverable components. Actual results may differ from those estimates.  Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements  Adopted:  1) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 Leases: In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard, ASC 842 Leases , to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees with capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available.  On January 1, 2019, we adopted the new accounting standard Accounting Standards Codification (“ ASC ”) 842 Leases using the modified retrospective method. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new leasing standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The standard had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets, but not on our consolidated income statements or statements of cash flow.

We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information was not restated. Adoption of this standard has no material effect on our consolidated financial statements.  3) On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows ( Topic 230 ) : Restricted Cash, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force . This standard requires that amounts generally described as restricted cash and cash equivalents be combined with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period balances on the statement of cash flows. Adoption of this standard has no material effect on our consolidated statement of cash flows.  4) On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2 016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments). The standard applies to eight (8) specific cash flow classification issues, reducing the current and potential future diversity in the presentation of certain cash flows. Adoption of this standard has no material effect on our consolidated statement of cash flows.  5) On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost . This standard (i) requires that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost, and (ii) specifies how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and (iii) allows only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. Adoption of this standard has no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.  6) On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business . This ASU provides that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the asset is not a “business”, thus reducing the number of transactions that need further evaluation for business combination. The standard has no material impact on our current consolidated financial statements, and we do not expect it to be applicable to our consolidated financial statements in the near term unless we enter into a definitive business acquisition transaction.  Issued:  v ASUs Effective 2019 and Beyond · Goodwill Impairment Simplification ( ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment)  Issued by FASB in January 2017, this standard removes the second step of the two-step impairment test for measuring goodwill and is to be applied on a prospective basis only. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020, including interim periods within the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Early adoption is not being contemplated. It is not anticipated that adoption of this standard will have any material impact on our consolidated financial statements.  Prior period financial statement correction of immaterial errors  During the third quarter of 2018, we identified immaterial errors related to the accounting for straight line rent receivable from tenants in our real estate operations dating back to 2015. These errors resulted in an understatement of real estate revenue.  We assessed the materiality of these errors on our financial statements for prior periods in accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ( “ SAB ” ) No. 99, Materiality, codified in ASC 250, Presentation of Financial Statements, and concluded that they were not material to any prior annual or interim periods. However, the aggregate amount of $440,000 related to the prior period immaterial errors through June 30, 2018, would have been material to the quarterly accounts with our current Consolidated Statements of Income. Consequently, in accordance with ASC 250 (specifically SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements), we have corrected these errors for all prior periods presented by revising the consolidated financial statements and other financial information included herein.  The following is a summary of the previously issued financial statement line items for all periods and statements included in this report.

Operations In Foreign Currency [Abstract]
Operations In Foreign Currency	Note 3 – Operations in Foreign Currency  We have significant assets in Australia and New Zealand. Historically, we have conducted our Australian and New Zealand operations (collectively “foreign operations”) on a self-funding basis where we use cash flows generated by our foreign operations to pay for the expense of foreign operations. Our Australian and New Zealand assets and liabilities are translated from their functional currencies of Australian dollar (“AU$”) and New Zealand dollar (“NZ$”), respectively, to the U.S. dollar based on the exchange rate as of June 30, 2019 . The carrying value of the assets and liabilities of our foreign operations fluctuates as a result of changes in the exchange rates between the functional currencies of the foreign operations and the U.S. dollar. The translation adjustments are accumulated in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Due to the natural- hedge nature of our funding policy, we have not historically used derivative financial instruments to hedge against the risk of foreign currency exposure. However, in certain circumstances, we move funds between jurisdictions where circumstances encouraged us to do so from an overall economic standpoint. Going forward, particularly in light of recent tax law changes, we intend to take a more global view of our financial resources, and to be more flexible in making use of resources from one jurisdiction in other jurisdictions.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Note 4 – Earnings Per Share  Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period and is calculated using the treasury stock method for equity-based compensation awards .  The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS and a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding:      Quarter Ended Six Months Ended  June 30, June 30,  (Dollars in thousands, except share data) 2019 2018 2019 2018  Numerator:  Net income (loss) attributable to RDI common stockholders $ 2,394 $ 5,027 $ 313 $ 8,108  Denominator:  Weighted average number of common stock – basic 22,894,083 22,933,589 22,901,764 22,979,436  Weighted average dilutive impact of awards 165,650 213,784 172,909 213,784  Weighted average number of common stock – diluted 23,059,733 23,147,373 23,074,673 23,193,220  Basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to RDI common stockholders $ 0.10 $ 0.22 $ 0.01 $ 0.35  Diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to RDI common stockholders $ 0.10 $ 0.22 $ 0.01 $ 0.35  Awards excluded from diluted earnings (loss) per share 516,010 126,840 516,010 126,840  Our weighted average number of common stock - basic decrea sed, primarily as a result of the repurchase of shares of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock pursuant to our current stock repurchase program offset by the issuance of shares due to the exercise of share options and vesting of restricted stock units. During the first six months of 2019, we repurchased 196,955 shares of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock at an average price of $13.33 per share.

Our next annual evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets is scheduled during the fourth quarter of 2019 . To test the impairment of goodwill, the Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including the goodwill, to determine if there is potential goodwill impairment. A reporting unit is generally one level below the operating segment. As of June 30, 2019 , we were not aware that any events indicating potential impairment of goodwill had occurred.

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 9 – Income Taxes  The interim provision for income taxes is different from the amount determined by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate to consolidated income before taxes. The differences are attributable to foreign tax rate differential, unrecognized tax benefits, and foreign tax credit. Our effective tax rate was 70.2% and 27.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The change between 2019 and 2018 is primarily due to lower pretax income, decrease in benefits from foreign tax credits and increase in accrued interest related to uncertain tax benefits.

This amendment reduces the applicable consolidated leverage ratio covenant by 0.25% and modifies the term of the facility based on the earlier of the eighteen months from the date of such borrowing or the maturity date of the credit agreement. Such modification was not considered substantial in accordance with U.S. GAAP. On March 5, 2019, this Credit Facility was extended for six (6) months to May 1, 2020 . On August 8, 2019, this Credit Facility was extended a further four months to September 1, 2020 .  Bank of America Line of Credit  In October 2016, the term of this $5.0 million line of credit was extended to October 31, 2019 . Such modification was not considered to be substantial under US GAAP. On August 8 , 2019, this Line of Credit was extended ten months to September 1, 2020 .  Minetta and Orpheum Theatres Loan  On October 12, 2018, we refinanced our $7.5 million loan with Santander Bank, which is secured by our Minetta and Orpheum Theatres, with a loan for a five year term of $8.0 million. Such modification was not considered to be substantial under US GAAP.  Banc of America Digital Projector Loan  On February 5, 2018, we purchased our U.S. digital cinema projectors, which had previously been held on operating leases, using a $4.6 million loan from Banc of America. We made further U.S. digital projector purchases, of projectors similarly held on other operating leases, in March and April 2018, increasing this loan to $4.9 million. This loan carries an interest rate of 5% and is due and payable December 28, 2019.  44 Union Square Construction Financing  On December 29, 2016, we closed on our new construction finance facilities totaling $57.5 million to fund the non-equity portion of the anticipated construction costs of the redevelopment of our property at 44 Union Square in New York City. The combined facilities consist of $50.0 million in aggregate loans (comprised of three loan tranches) from Bank of the Ozarks (“BOTO”), and a $7.5 million mezzanine loan from Tammany Mezz Investor, LLC, an affiliate of Fisher Brothers. At December 31, 2016, Bank of the Ozarks advanced $8.0 million to repay the then existing $8.0 million loan with East West Bank. As of June 30, 2019 , an additional $23.1 million had been advanced under the senior loan facility, along with the full $7.5 million available under the mezzanine loan facility.  U.S. Corporate Office Term Loan  On December 13, 2016, we obtained a ten -year $8.4 million mortgage loan on our new Los Angeles Corporate Headquarters at a fixed annual interest rate of 4.64% . This loan provided for a second loan upon completion of certain improvements. On June 26, 2017, we obtained a further $1.5 million under this provision at a fixed annual interest rate of 4.44% .  Cinema 1,2,3 Term Loan  On August 31, 2016, Sutton Hill Properties LLC (“SHP”), a 75% subsidiary of RDI, refinanced its $15.0 million Santander Bank term loan with a new lender, Valley National Bank. This new $20.0 million loan is collateralized by our Cinema 1,2,3 property and bears an interest rate of 3.25% per annum, with principal installments and accruing interest paid monthly. The new loan matures on September 1, 2019 , with a one -time option to extend maturity date for another year.  Westpac Bank Corporate Credit Facility (NZ)  On December 20, 2018, we restructured our Westpac Corporate Credit Facilities. The maturity of the 1 st tranche (general/non-construction credit line) was extended to December 31, 2023 , with the available facility being reduced from NZ$35.0 million to NZ$32.0 million. The facility bears an interest rate of 1.75% above the Bank Bill Bid Rate on the drawn down balance and a 1.1% line of credit charge on the entire facility. The 2 nd tranche (construction line) with a facility of NZ$18.0 million was not renewed.  Australian NAB Corporate Term Loan (AU)  On March 15, 2019, we amended our Revolving Corporate Markets Loan Facility with National Australia Bank (“NAB”) from a facility comprised of (i) a AU$66.5 million loan facility with an interest rate of 0.95% above the Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate (“BBSY”) and a maturity date of June 30, 2019 and (ii) a bank guarantee of AU$5.0 million at a rate of 1.90% per annum into a (i) AU$120.0 million Corporate Loan facility at rates of 0.85% - 1.30% above BBSY depending on certain ratios with a due date of December 31, 2023 , of which AU$80.0 million is revolving and AU$40.0 million is core and (ii) a Bank Guarantee Facility of AU$5.0 million at a rate of 1.85% per annum. Such modifications of this particular term loan were not considered to be substantial under US GAAP.

As a result of the termination of the SERP program, the accrued pension liability of $7.6 million was reversed and replaced with this pension annuity liability of $7.5 million. The valuation of the liability is based on the present value of $10.2 million discounted at a rate of 4.25% over a 15 -year term, resulting in a monthly payment of $57,000 . The discounted value of $2.7 million (which is the difference between the estimated payout of $10.2 million and the present value of $7.5 million) as of August 29, 2014 will be amortized and expensed based on the 15-year term. In addition, the accumulated actuarial loss of $3.1 million recorded, as part of other comprehensive income will also be amortized based on the 15 - year term.  In February 2018, we made a payment of $2.4 million relating to the annuity representing payments for the 42 months outstanding at the time. Monthly ongoing payments of $57,000 are now being made.  As a result of the above, included in our current and non-current liabilities are accrued pension costs of $5.4 million at June 30, 2019 . The benefits of our pension plan are fully vested and therefore no service costs were recognized for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . Our pension plan is unfunded.  During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 , the interest cost was $298,000 and $343,000 respectively, and the actuarial loss was $52,000 and $103,000 respectively. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018 , the interest cost was $45,000 and $90,000 respectively, and the actuarial loss was $52,000 and $104,000 respectively.

Commitments And Contingencies	Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies  Litigation General  We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings and, as required, have accrued estimates of probable and estimable losses for the resolution of these claims, including legal costs. · Where we are a plaintiff , we accrue legal fees as incurred on an on-going basis and make no provision for any potential settlement amounts until received. In Australia, the prevailing party is usually entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees, which recoveries typically work out to be approximately 60% of the amounts actually spent where first-class legal counsel is engaged at customary rates. Where we are a plaintiff, we have likewise made no provision for the liability for the defendant’s attorneys' fees in the event we are determined not to be the prevailing party. · Where we are a defendant , we accrue for probable damages that insurance may not cover as they become known and can be reasonably estimated. In our opinion, any claims and litigation in which we are currently involved are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. I t is possible, however, that future results of the operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by the ultimate outcome of the legal proceedings. From time-to-time, we are involved with claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of our business that may include contractual obligations, insurance claims, tax claims, employment matters, and anti-trust issues, among other matters.  All of these matters require significant judgments based on the facts known to us. These judgments are inherently uncertain and can change significantly when additional facts become known. We provide accruals for matters that have probable likelihood of occurrence and can be properly estimated as to their expected negative outcome. We do not record expected gains until the proceeds are received by us. However, we typically make no accruals for potential costs of defense, as such amounts are inherently uncertain and dependent upon the scope, extent and aggressiveness of the activities of the applicable plaintiff.  Environmental and Asbestos Claims on Reading Legacy Operations Certain of our subsidiaries were historically involved in railroad operations, coal mining, and manufacturing. Also, certain of these subsidiaries appear in the chain-of-title of properties that may suffer from pollution. Accordingly, certain of these subsidiaries have, from time-to-time, been named in and may in the future be named in various actions brought under applicable environmental laws. Also, we are in the real estate development business and may encounter from time-to-time unanticipated environmental conditions at properties that we have acquired for development. These environmental conditions can increase the cost of such projects and adversely affect the value and potential for profit of such projects. We do not currently believe that our exposure under applicable environmental laws is material in amount.  From time to time, there are claims brought against us relating to the exposure of former employees of our railroad operations to asbestos and coal dust. These are generally covered by an insurance settlement reached in September 1990 with our insurance providers. However, this insurance settlement does not cover litigation by people who were not our employees and who may claim second-hand exposure to asbestos, coal dust and/or other chemicals or elements now recognized as potentially causing cancer in humans. Our known exposure to these types of claims, asserted or probable of being asserted, is not material.  Cotter Jr. Derivative Litigation  This action was originally brought by James J. Cotter, Jr. (“Cotter Jr.”) in June, 2015 in the Nevada District Court against all of the Directors of the Company and against the Company as a nominal defendant: James J. Cotter, Jr., individually and derivatively on behalf of Reading International, Inc. vs. Margaret Cotter, et al.” Case No,: A-15-719860-V. Summary judgment has been entered against Cotter, Jr., and in favor of all defendants and a $1.55 million cost judgment has been entered against Cotter, Jr., and in favor of our Company. Cotter, Jr. has appealed both judgements. Our application for $5.9 million in attorney’s fees was denied, and we have appealed that determination. The issues on appeal are currently being briefed. No date for oral argument has been set. It is unlikely that any hearing will be held this year. As the Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Policy covering Cotter, Jr.’s claims in the Derivative Case ( $10.0 million) has been exhausted, the financial burden of defending our Directors against these claims, as required by applicable Nevada Law, has fallen upon our Company. During 2018, out-of-pocket third party costs in the amount of approximately $3.5 million were incurred by our Company in defendin g against these claims. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 , an additional $547,000 had been expensed , relating principally to the preparation of appellate briefs with respect to the Derivative Litigation.

Stock-Based Compensation And Stock Repurchases [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation And Stock Repurchases	Note 15 – Stock-Based Compensation and Stock Repurchases  Employee and Director Stock Option Plan  The Company may grant stock options and other share-based payment awards of our Common Stock to eligible employees, directors, and consultants under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The aggregate total number of shares of the Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan is 2,197,460 .  During the Company’s 2017 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting held on November 7, 2017, the Company's stockholders, upon recommendation of the Board of Directors, approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock issuable under the Plan by an additional 947,460 shares. The effect of the increase is to restore the amount of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan from the 302,540 shares available as of September 30, 2017, back up to its original reserve of 1,250,000 shares. As of June 30, 2019 , we had 778,304 shares remaining for future issuances.  Since the adoption of the Plan in 2010, the Company has granted awards primarily in the form of stock options. In the 1 st quarter of 2016, the Company started to award restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to directors and certain members of management. Stock options are generally granted at exercise prices equal to the grant-date market prices and typically expire no later than five years from the grant date. In contrast to a stock option where the grantee buys the Company’s share at an exercise price determined on grant date, an RSU entitles the grantee to receive one share for every RSU based on a vesting plan. At the discretion of our Compensation and Stock Options Committee, the vesting period of stock options and RSUs granted to employees ranges from zero to four years. Grants to directors and certain executive officers are subject to Board approval. At the time the options are exercised or RSUs vest and are settled, at the discretion of management, we will issue treasury shares or make a new issuance of shares to the option or RSU holder.  Stock Options We estimate the grant-date fair value of our stock options using the Black-Scholes option-valuation model, which takes into account assumptions such as the dividend yield, the risk-free interest rate, the expected stock price volatility, and the expected life of the options. We expense the estimated grant-date fair values of options over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. Based on our historical experience, the “deemed exercise” of expiring in-the-money options and the relative market price to strike price of the options, we have not hereto estimated any forfeitures of vested or unvested options.  There were nil and 219,408 stock options issued in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively. The weighted average assumptions used in the option-valuation model were as follows:      Six Months Ended June 30,  2019 2018  Stock option exercise price $ 16.12 $ 16.40  Risk-free interest rate 2.42% 2.56%  Expected dividend yield — —  Expected option life in years 3.75 3.75  Expected volatility 23.32% 24.99%  Weighted average fair value $ 3.50 $ 3.80  For the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we recorded compensation expense of $129,000 and $112,000 , respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 , we recorded compensation expense of $200,000 and $197,000 , respectively. At June 30, 2019 , the total unrecognized estimated compensation expense related to non-vested stock options was $1.4 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average vesting period of 1.99 years. The intrinsic, unrealized value of all options outstanding, vested and expected to vest, at June 30, 2019 was $0.9 million, of which 96% are currently exercisable.  The following table summarizes the number of options outstanding and exercisable as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 :     Outstanding Stock Options - Class A Shares  Number of Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Years of Contractual Life Aggregate Intrinsic Value  Class A Class A Class A Class A  Balance - December 31, 2017 524,589 $ 12.50 3.15 $ 3,054,325  Granted 126,840 16.40 — —  Exercised (60,000) 6.02 — 610,249  Forfeited (4,960) 12.08 — —  Balance - December 31, 2018 586,469 $ 14.01 2.88 $ 1,530,528  Granted 219,408 16.12 — —  Exercised (67,500) 13.42 — 185,175  Forfeited (25,000) 13.42 — —  Balance - June 30, 2019 713,377 $ 14.74 3.27 $ 866,682  Restricted Stock Units We estimate the grant-date fair values of our RSUs using the Company’s stock price at grant-date and record such fair values as compensation expense over the vesting period on a straight-line basis.

Prior to November 7, 2018, RSU awards to directors vested 100% in January of the following year in which such RSUs were granted. At the November 7, 2018 Board meeting, it was determined that it would be more appropriate for the vesting of RSUs to align with the director ’ s term of office. Accordingly, the RSUs granted on November 7, 2018, vest on the first to occur of (i) 5:00 pm, Los Angeles, CA time on the last business day prior to the one-year anniversary of the grant date, or (ii) the date on which the recipient’s term as a director shall end and the recipient, or as the case may be, the recipient’s successor is elected to the board of directors at the next occurring annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders called for such purpose (the “Vesting Date”). This means that the Vesting Date of the RSUs granted to directors on November 7, 2018 was the date of the annual meetin g of stockholders on May 7, 2019 . Due to the fact that the Company has moved up its annual meeting of stockholders from November to May this year, this created a shorter than normal vesting period for the RSUs issued on November 7, 2018. In order to adjust for this factor, the award of RSUs to directors made immediately following the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders was a value of $35,000 or one half of last year's annual grant. For the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we recorded compensation expense of $271,000 and $227,000 , respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 we recorded compensation expense of $480,000 and $521,000 respectively. The total unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested RSUs was $1.8 million as of June 30, 2019 , which we expect to recognize over a weighted average vesting period of 1.76 years.  Stock Repurchase Program  On March 2, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors authorized management, at its discretion, to spend up to an aggregate of $25.0 million to acquire shares of Reading’s Class A Non-Voting Common Stock. On March 14, 2019, the Board of Directors extended this stock buy-back program for two years, through March 2, 2021. The Board of Directors did not increase the authorized amount, which was $16.2 million at March 31, 2019.  The repurchase program allows Reading to repurchase its shares in accordance with the requirements of the SEC on the open market, in block trades and in privately negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions and other factors. All purchases are subject to the availability of shares at prices that are acceptable to Reading, and accordingly, no assurances can be given as to the timing or number of shares that may ultimately be acquired pursuant to this authorization.  Under the stock repurchase program, as of June 30, 2019 , the Company has reacquired 756,016 shares of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock for $11.5 million at an average price of $15.16 per share (excluding transaction costs). 196,389 shares of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock were purchased during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 at an average price of $13.33 per share. This leaves $13.5 million available under the March 2, 2017 program, as extended, to March 2, 2021.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Note 16 - Leases  In all leases, whether we are the lessor or lessee, we define lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease plus any renewals covered by renewal options that are reasonably certain of exercise based on our assessment of economic factors relevant to the lessee. The non-cancellable term of the lease commences on the date the lessor makes the underlying property in the lease available to the lessee, irrespective of when lease payments begin under the contract.  As Lessee  We have operating leases for certain cinemas and corporate offices, and finance leases for certain equipment assets. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 20 years, with certain leases having options to extend to up to a further 20 years.  Contracts are analyzed in accordance with the criteria set out in ASC 842 to determine if there is a lease present. For contracts that contain an operating lease, we account for the lease component and the non-lease component together as a single component. For contracts that contain a finance lease we account for the lease component and the non-lease component separately in accordance with ASC 842.  In leases where we are the lessee, we recognize a right of use asset and lease liability at lease commencement, which is measured by discounting lease payments using an incremental borrowing rate applicable to the relevant country and lease term of the lease as the discount rate. Subsequent amortization of the right of use asset and accretion of the lease liability for an operating lease is recognized as a single lease cost, on a straight line basis, over the term of the lease. A finance lease right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight line basis over the lesser of the useful life of the leased asset or the lease term. Interest on each finance lease liability is determined as the amount that results in a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability. Property taxes and other non-lease costs are accounted for on an accrual basis.  Lease payments for our cinema operating leases consist of fixed base rent, and for certain leases, variable lease payments consisting of contracted percentages of revenue, changes in the relevant CPI, and/or other contracted financial metrics.  The components of lease expense were as follows:     Quarter Ended Six Months Ended  June 30, June 30,  (Dollars in thousands) 2019 2018 2019 2018  Lease cost  Finance lease cost: —  Amortization of right-of-use assets $ 41 $ — $ 82 $ —  Interest on lease liabilities 4 — 7 —  Operating lease cost 7,899 — 15,784 —  Variable lease cost 517 — 619 —  Total lease cost $ 8,461 $ — $ 16,493 $ —  Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows:     Six Months Ended  June 30,  (Dollars in thousands) 2019 2018  Cash flows relating to lease cost  Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities:  Operating cash flows from finance leases $ 87 $ —  Operating cash flows from operating leases 15,531 —  Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new finance lease liabilities — —  Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities 5,760 —  Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows:     June 30, December 31,  (Dollars in thousands) 2019 2018  Operating leases  Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 224,878 $ —  Operating lease liabilities - current portion 19,658 —  Operating lease liabilities - non-current portion 218,610 —  Total operating lease liabilities $ 238,268 $ —  Finance leases  Property plant and equipment, gross 369 —  Accumulated depreciation (82) —  Property plant and equipment, net $ 287 $ —  Other current liabilities 145 —  Other long-term liabilities 144 —  Total finance lease liabilities $ 289 $ —   Other information  Weighted-average remaining lease term - finance leases 3 —  Weighted-average remaining lease term - operating leases 11 —  Weighted-average discount rate - finance leases 5.07% —  Weighted-average discount rate - operating leases 4.98% —  Maturity of leases were as follows:     (Dollars in thousands) Operating leases Finance leases  2019 $ 15,564 $ 87  2020 31,070 101  2021 31,391 53  2022 31,382 43  2023 30,483 28  Thereafter 174,937 —  Total lease payments $ 314,827 $ 312  Less imputed interest (76,559) (23)  Total $ 238,268 $ 289  As of June 30, 2019 , we have additional operating leases, primarily for cinemas, that have not yet commenced of approximately $26.0 million. It is anticipated that thes e operating leases will commence between fiscal year 2019 and fiscal year 2021 with lease terms of 15 to 20 years.  As Lessor  We have entered into various leases as a lessor for our owned real estate properties. These leases vary in length between 1 and 20 years, with certain leases containing options to extend at the behest of the applicable tenants. Lease components consist of fixed base rent, and for certain leases, variable lease payments consisting of contracted percentages of revenue, changes in the relevant CPI, and/or other contracted financial metrics. None of our leases grant any right to the tenant to purchase the underlying asset.  We recognize lease payments for operating leases as property revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentive payments we make to lessees are amortized as a reduction in property revenue over the lease term.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 18 – Fair Value Measurements  ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: · Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; · Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and, · Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 material financial assets and financial liabilities were carried and measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  The following tables summarize our financial liabilities that are carried at cost and measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , by level within the fair value hierarchy.      Fair Value Measurement at June 30, 2019  (Dollars in thousands) Carrying Value (1) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total  Notes payable $ 158,724 $ — $ — $ 162,880 $ 162,880  Subordinated debt 27,913 — — 19,188 19,188  $ 186,637 $ — $ — $ 182,068 $ 182,068      Fair Value Measurement at December 31, 2018  (Dollars in thousands) Carrying Value (1) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total  Notes payable $ 139,130 $ — $ — $ 143,564 $ 143,564  Subordinated debt 27,913 — — 18,895 18,895  $ 167,043 $ — $ — $ 162,459 $ 162,459  (1) These balances are presented before any deduction for deferred financing costs.  Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to estimate the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . · Level 1 investments in marketable securities primarily consist of investments associated with the ownership of marketable securities in U.S. and New Zealand. These investments are valued based on observable market quotes on the last trading date of the reporting period. · Level 2 derivative financial instruments are valued based on discounted cash flow models that incorporate observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves from the derivative counterparties. The credit valuation adjustments associated with our non-performance risk and counterparty credit risk are incorporated in the fair value estimates of our derivatives. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we concluded that the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. · Level 3 borrowings include our secured and unsecured notes payable, trust preferred securities and other debt instruments. The borrowings are valued based on discounted cash flow models that incorporate appropriate market discount rates. We calculated the market discount rate by obtaining period-end treasury rates for fixed-rate debt, or LIBOR for variable-rate debt, for maturities that correspond to the maturities of our debt, adding appropriate credit spreads derived from information obtained from third-party financial institutions. These credit spreads take into account factors such as our credit rate, debt maturity, types of borrowings, and the loan-to-value ratios of the debt.  The Company’s financial instruments also include cash, cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate the fair values due to their short maturities. Additionally, there were no transfers of assets and liabilities between levels 1, 2, or 3 during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 .

Business Combination [Abstract]
Business Combination	 Note 19 – Business Combination  On January 30, 2019, we purchased the tenant’s interest and other operating assets of an established four-screen cinema in Devonport, Tasmania, Australia, for $1.4 million (AU$1.95 million). We commenced trading from this new cinema site on January 30, 2019.  The total purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired based on our estimates of their fair values on the acquisition date. The identified assets included fixtures and equipment and immaterial working capital balances . There were immaterial liabilities assumed.  Our final purchase price allocation is as follows:     (Dollars in thousands) Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation (1) Measurement Period Adjustments (2) Final Purchase Price Allocation (1)  Tangible Assets  Operating property:  Fixtures and equipment $ 153 $ — $ 153  Intangible Assets  Goodwill 1,248 (23) 1,225  Total assets acquired 1,401 (23) 1,378   Net assets acquired $ 1,401 $ (23) $ 1,378  (1) The balances were translated into U.S. Dollars based on the applicable exchange rate as of the date of acquisition, January 30, 2019.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis Of Consolidation	Basis of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries as well as majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company controls, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“ 2018 Form 10-K”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As such, they do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. We believe that we have included all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period.  Operating results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 .
Use Of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Significant estimates include (i) projections we make regarding the recoverability and impairment of our assets (including goodwill and intangibles), (ii) valuations of our derivative instruments, (iii) recoverability of our deferred tax assets, (iv) estimation of breakage and redemption experience rates, which drive how we recognize breakage on our gift card and gift certificates, and revenue from our customer loyalty program, and (v) allocation of insurance proceeds to various recoverable components. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted And Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements  Adopted:  1) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 Leases: In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard, ASC 842 Leases , to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees with capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available.  On January 1, 2019, we adopted the new accounting standard Accounting Standards Codification (“ ASC ”) 842 Leases using the modified retrospective method. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new leasing standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The standard had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets, but not on our consolidated income statements or statements of cash flow.     (Dollars in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2018 Adjustments due to ASC 842 Balance at January 1, 2019  Assets  Operating property, net $ 257,667 $ 370 $ 258,037  Operating lease right-of-use assets — 232,319 232,319  Intangible assets, net 7,369 (3,542) 3,827  Deferred tax asset, net 26,235 82 26,317  Liabilities  Operating lease liabilities $ — $ 245,280 $ 245,280  Other non-current liabilities 28,931 (16,033) 12,898  Stockholders' Equity  Non-controlling interest $ 4,337 $ (46) $ 4,291  Retained earnings 47,616 28 47,644       Quarter Ended June 30, 2019 Six Months Ended June 30, 2019  (Dollars in thousands) As Reported, June 30, 2019 Balances Without Adoption of ASC 842 Effect of change Higher / (Lower) As Reported, June 30, 2019 Balances Without Adoption of ASC 842 Effect of change Higher / (Lower)  Cinema costs and expenses $ 56,235 $ 56,277 $ (42) $ 104,564 $ 104,611 $ (47)  Depreciation and amortization 5,572 5,532 40 11,166 11,084 82  General and administrative 6,034 6,077 (43) 12,518 12,605 (87)  Interest expense, net 2,204 2,198 6 4,054 4,047 7  Income tax (benefit) expense 1,654 1,638 16 612 597 15  Net income (loss) $ 2,357 $ 2,334 $ 23 $ 260 $ 230 $ 30     (Dollars in thousands) As Reported, June 30, 2019 Balances Without Adoption of ASC 842 Effect of change Higher / (Lower)  Assets  Operating property, net $ 255,761 $ 255,522 $ 239  Intangible assets 3,659 7,031 (3,372)  Operating lease right-of-use assets 224,878 — 224,878  Deferred tax asset, net 26,336 26,269 67  Liabilities  Other current liabilities $ 9,643 $ 9,735 $ (92)  Operating lease liabilities, current 19,658 — 19,658  Other non-current liabilities 12,525 28,886 (16,361)  Operating lease liabilities, non-current 218,610 — 218,610  Stockholders' Equity  Retained earnings $ 47,957 $ 47,927 $ 30  2) ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers: On January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective method. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information was not restated. Adoption of this standard has no material effect on our consolidated financial statements.  3) On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows ( Topic 230 ) : Restricted Cash, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force . This standard requires that amounts generally described as restricted cash and cash equivalents be combined with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period balances on the statement of cash flows. Adoption of this standard has no material effect on our consolidated statement of cash flows.  4) On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2 016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments). The standard applies to eight (8) specific cash flow classification issues, reducing the current and potential future diversity in the presentation of certain cash flows. Adoption of this standard has no material effect on our consolidated statement of cash flows.  5) On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost . This standard (i) requires that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost, and (ii) specifies how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and (iii) allows only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. Adoption of this standard has no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.  6) On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business . This ASU provides that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the asset is not a “business”, thus reducing the number of transactions that need further evaluation for business combination. The standard has no material impact on our current consolidated financial statements, and we do not expect it to be applicable to our consolidated financial statements in the near term unless we enter into a definitive business acquisition transaction.  Issued:  v ASUs Effective 2019 and Beyond · Goodwill Impairment Simplification ( ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment)  Issued by FASB in January 2017, this standard removes the second step of the two-step impairment test for measuring goodwill and is to be applied on a prospective basis only. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020, including interim periods within the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Early adoption is not being contemplated. It is not anticipated that adoption of this standard will have any material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Prior Period Financial Statement Correction Of Immaterial Errors	Prior period financial statement correction of immaterial errors  During the third quarter of 2018, we identified immaterial errors related to the accounting for straight line rent receivable from tenants in our real estate operations dating back to 2015. These errors resulted in an understatement of real estate revenue.  We assessed the materiality of these errors on our financial statements for prior periods in accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ( “ SAB ” ) No. 99, Materiality, codified in ASC 250, Presentation of Financial Statements, and concluded that they were not material to any prior annual or interim periods. However, the aggregate amount of $440,000 related to the prior period immaterial errors through June 30, 2018, would have been material to the quarterly accounts with our current Consolidated Statements of Income. Consequently, in accordance with ASC 250 (specifically SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements), we have corrected these errors for all prior periods presented by revising the consolidated financial statements and other financial information included herein.  The following is a summary of the previously issued financial statement line items for all periods and statements included in this report.
