Photo - GALEFORCE PHOTOGRAPHY - STATE LIBRARY OF WA - Entrance to Hoyts Cinema City, corner Hay and Barrack Streets, Perth, 29 February 1988.
This was one of the City Theatres properties taken over by Hoyts in 1988, and immediately put on the market (for leaseback). It was sold for a reputed $10m in 1994. The fifth cinema was never added, and in the mid-1990’s, the four cinemas (still known as Cinema City, but now holding Hoyts Cinemas 1 - 4) held 494, 580, 394 and 790 seats. In 1999 it was reported that The Cinema City shopping arcade and theatre complex has been sold to Perth investor Westpoint Corporation for approximately $13m. The Cinema City was closed 17th October 2007.
The building was demolished and a 20 storey apartment complex built on the old grounds in 2008
