The Rex closed on November 5th 2002. It became a cheap hostel, the “Red Dragon”. Ironically this also burnt down (in August 2007). The site is now rebuilt and continues to operate as a hostel.
This theatre is now operated by local circuit Lotus Five Star, who twinned it in November 2012. Total capacity is 474. It now shows exclusively Tamil movies using e-cinema equipment.
