Independent circuit owned by Kailash C. Suri (through 3R Construction and Property Development) who acquired the Curzon at Loughborough in 2001. Originally known as the Curzon Leisure Group, the circuit also includes ‘traditional’ cinemas in towns including Bridgnorth, Ilkeston, Borehamwood, Chippenham, Grantham and Quinton. The company was re-branded as Reel Cinemas Ltd in 2005 (and the Curzon at Loughborough became the Reel the following year). In July 2011 four cinemas, the multiplexes at Crewe and Newark and cinemas at Loughborough and Andover, together with a pipeline sites at Swadlincote and West Bromwich, were sold to Odeon. Reel retained the pipeline site at Widnes. The Reel multiplex at Widnes opened in October 2011. In January 2013, to avoid referral of their acquisition of Apollo Cinemas to the Competition Commission, Vue sold the former Apollo multiplexes at Fareham, Port Talbot and Burnley (together with the Apollo cinema at Morecambe) to Reel.

In September 2023, in Burnley, the company closed the former Apollo/Vue and opened a multiplex at the new Pioneer Place development.
