A SNAPSHOT IN TIME
A Hoyts advertisement from the Melbourne Herald, Friday 3 January 1969, shows the
screening trends at the time. Hoyts had only 6 suburban hardtop theatres still open –
10½ years earlier, in July 1958, they were screening in 36. Nine drive-ins were doing
good business with A grade movies. In July 1958 only four of these were open. Three
of the city theatres would be closed within two years.
