Murrieta's Reading Cinemas Now Delivering Popcorn, Hot Dogs, More

MURRIETA, CA — Film-goers who are missing the multiplex experience amid the coronavirus shutdown can now get a little comfort — in the form of real movie theater food.

Reading Cinemas at Cal Oaks Plaza in Murrieta has launched a "Reading Cinemas Eats at Home" program that lets movie lovers get concession stand favorites curbside or delivered to their door.

The menu includes classic movie theater standards like popcorn, hot dogs, soft pretzels, candies, hamburgers, fries, potato chip crusted chicken tenders with sauces, sandwiches, and cookies.

Several of the menu items are specialty fare with recipes created by Food Network veteran Santos Loo, according to Reading Cinemas.

“Reading Cinemas remains deeply committed to the family-oriented community we have loved for so long,” said Dolly Woodland, general manager for Reading Cinemas. "‘Reading Eats at Home’ is devoted to making everyone's time at home more enjoyable by offering the complete theater experience and allowing everyone to sit back and let us do the cooking!”

Available to order curbside or on the Uber Eats App and UberEats.com, Reading Cinemas plans to extend its Reading Cinemas Eats at Home program to other apps in time.

“We are thankful we can provide this service now to our movie-goers in Murrieta. However, we are most looking forward to the day that we can re-open Reading Cinemas and welcome back our guests and allow them to enjoy the magic of movies under our roof,” said Terri Moore, vice president, U.S. Cinemas for Reading International, Inc.

Reading Cinemas at Cal Oaks Plaza is located at 41090 California Oaks Road. For more information, visit www.ReadingCinemasUS.com/CalOaks or view the menu here.
