Current Uses
Since its reopening, the Astor Cinema has undergone further refurbishment in November 2006, with the cinema facilities continuing to be upgraded. With many recent closures, the Astor Cinema is one of Perth’s few remaining inner city cinemas.
In August 2008 the owners announced that the cinema would close because it is no longer profitable, stating that "the cinema had been running at a loss for some time, with just $34 in takings in four hours of trading". A Music Rocks Australia concert (a kid rock band group of schools)was one of the last performances at the Astor. The cinema reopened in October 2009, and now hosts live music, comedy and other community events.

“A reaction: a boat which is going against the current but which does not prevent the river from flowing on.”
