I have very fond memories of the Hoyts Cinemas in Brisbane. Originally the it was the Hoyts theatre built in 1929, but the old American Style Picture Palace was demolished and transformed into four cinemas in the late 70’s. I have fond memories of the cinemas.
Unfortunately, the cinemas fell into disrepair and the owners shut them down around 2008. There was a fight to keep the cinema building from being demolished, but the fight was lost and the cenima site demolished. To this day they thankfully kept the beautiful original foyer open due to a heritage listing, but the rest of the building is gone and remains an empty block to this day.
