Later became Village Twin (Boronia) in 1979 and ran until 1989 (Kino, p. 23) "It was taken over by Century Cinemas and expanded into 4-screens in around 1990, then Village Cinemas took over again. It closed for a while, then re-opened in 2004 as the Regent Cinemas. This was short lived as it was closed by the local council in October 2004, for breaching safety regulations. Taken over by the independent, family operated Metro Cinemas. It re-opened on 30th June 2005 as Metro Cinemas Boronia." (http://cinematreasures.org/theater/26934/) Note: Village twin closed again on December 26 2002. Became a quad in 1994. References Film Weekly.
