What a travesty... for what remains of the facade and front box office area to not be saved and preserved is truly a loss for the city. And that the grand, original auditorium was demolished years ago, and replaced with a 4-plex was the larger loss.

Sad.

Subject: [MOPO] Historic Cinema closes down

Brisbane's historic Regent Cinema will be closing today for redevelopment. Yet another of Australia's magnificent cinemas lost forever. This is a real
tragedy and another example of greed from developers and stupidty of
policticians.
