In 1954 the Star was equipped with a new CinemaScope screen, the latest in cinema technology.

In 1973 it was briefly renamed the Hoyts Horror House, but by the following year it had returned to its original name.

It was sold by Hoyts in 1977 for conversion to a squash centre. It reopened the following year as the Star Rock Concert and was showing movies again. But this was short-lived. It closed permanently later in 1978 and was demolished in 1981, having been at its height one of the biggest suburban cinemas in NSW and the last remaining of the four Hoyts theatres at Waverley.
