The 4 new screens have indoor and outdoor lounge seating areas, and new toilets and candy bar and ticket booth and modifications to the building facade.
Star Cinema only lasted a few years(i think?) before becoming part of New Oxford again(now Luna Leederville).
4 more screens were opened in late december 2017, up in recently closed down fish and tackle shop with 4 more screens adiing another combined 164 seats.
The movie “The Gods must be crazy” ran in this cinema for 3 years.
I think the Star Cinema only lasted a few years(?), before going back to being part of the New Oxford Theatre. I think the longest film run there(and possibly in Western Australia or even Australia?) was “The Gods must be crazy, which for over 2 years(possibly even over 3 years?) which saved the theatre in the 1980’s.
