The multiplex in the Whitewater Shopping Centre eventually opened but the operator has not supplied an opening date.

The Oscar reopened in October 1973 with admission prices advertised at 40p. More info here: http://www.kildare.ie/library/ehistory/2013/01/new_oscar_provides_newbridge_w.asp. One source states the 3 screens did not arrive until 1990. When it closed in 2006 the last films to show were King Kong, The Chronicles of Narnia and Just Like Heaven. Michael Roycroft had made the decision some time previously in anticipation of the new cinema opening at the Whitewater Shopping Centre. Films are also shown at the Riverdale Arts Centre in Main Street once a week.
