The current Hoyts Multiplex isn’t the same building as Hoyts 8.The Hoyts Multiplex is on top of the Carousel Shopping Centre built at the same time as the Shopping Centre was expanded and the rooftop car park was added. Hoyts 8 was then demolished, and the car park extended over the site. The Cinemaweb website is only up to 1997, before the cinema moved. The photo is of Hoyts 8,not the Hoyts multiplex.

According to the West Australian Cinema Web, an online service of the Australian Ministry of Motion Picture and Television, Hoyt’s 8 was not destroyed, but rather expanded to the, renamed, 14 screen Carousel Multiplex which official opened on October 28, 1999. Originally there was speculation that up to 24 auditoriums would result.

I confirmed on the Hoyt’s site that 14 is the number of screens.

I have uploaded photos as the Hoyt 8 and the subsequent megaplex from the Web site.
