Operated by the Village Roadshow chain in the 1970’s, the Regent Theatre remained a single screen cinema into the early-1980’s, and was then twinned and re-named Village Twin. In 1995, eight additional screens were added on the right-hand side of the building. The main No 1 original screen remains unouched, and is Listed as part of the Heritage Trust of Australia.
