About Astor Theatre Melbourne

The Astor Theatre is a single-screen cinema on the corner of Chapel Street and Dandenong Road in St Kilda, screening repertory films and double features alongside festival programs, school bookings and special events. It opened on 3 April 1936 and keeps much of its original jazz moderne design and fittings. The auditorium seats about 900, the venue is run by Palace Cinemas, and it is on the Victorian Heritage Register.
