Hoyts Cinemas

Trailer Descriptions by Largerchips, Accurate as of 2020.

Hoyts Cinemas is an Chinese-owned Australian cinema chain, and is also the largest cinema group in Australia.

1st Trailer (2009-2012)

Same as the last Hoyts Distribution logo except "Distribution" is changed to "Cinemas".

2nd Trailer (2014-2016)

Nickname: "The Supernova"

Description:

On a space background a sudden light burst appears and the radiation blasts off into space, we zoom into the supernova, zooming in to reveal the then-new Hoyts logo, in orange as the letters zoom into place, the Hoyts logo fades to red, with a supernova like radiation core behind it, keeping the letters together, it slightly turns to the right, before fading out.

SFX/FX: Really impressive CGI.

Music/Sounds: A beacon noise resmbling a ding plays, followed by bass whirring sounds before whooshing as the viewer zooms to the logo, then a strange whirring sound which holds until the logo completes.

Availability: Seen after the ads and trailers, immediately after the "Turn off your phones" ad from Telstra or Optus, at Hoyts Cinemas in 2014-16.

Editors Note: A really awesome logo to precede the movie one is watching, but the next one is even better.

3rd Trailer (2016-2018)

Nickname: "Experience More" "The X"

Description: We pan around the "H" symbol in "Hoyts", as it slides into place, we fade out, then we pan around as the OYTS in hoyts slide into place, as they slide into place two half cross lines light up, then as we slowly zoom out the cross marks close up (like a door) to create an X which covers the screen, it shrinks and spins into the words eXperience more, a white blast zone ripple effect is around the x, then the x spins and zooms through the camera and we see the Hoyts logo being panned around one more time, we fade to black.

SFX/FX: Impressive CGI, The X Spinning and creating Experience More.

Music/Sounds: a bass riff, similar to the Vue Cinemas theme, a descending bass tone, a laser zap, accompanied by an orchestra theme akin to that of a superhero movie, then as the orchestra tenses and rises (the X does its thing), a blast, sort of like something heavy hitting the ground and the sound of electricity crackling, a bass drop, (X Zooms at camera) a shifting sort of whoosh, then as the Hoyts logo appears again the Orchestra ends its piece.

Availability: Same availability as the logo mentioned before this, seen after the ads, before the movie, until 2018.

Editors Note: This trailer was amazing when played before an action movie like Infinity War, but a year later, if you went to see Endgame at Hoyts, you were given something very disappointing...

4th Trailer (2018-Present)

Nickname: "Experience More II" "The Wine"

Description: On a white background, we pan around as what appears to be wine flows into the centre of the screen and fills in the Hoyts logo, We cut to a birds eye view of the logo and the text "Experience More" fade in beneath it.

SFX/FX: The flowing of the red liquid.

Music/Sounds: Sudden, Loud flowing of liquid.

Availability: Current, After the ads, Before every movie seen in a Hoyts Cinema right now.

Editors Note: This is a disappointment when compared to the last trailer, as for example, Avengers Endgame was one of the most hyped up movies ever, probably the most. Instead of getting the 3rd Trailer (which was seen before Infinity War) we got this, which really dampened the excitement, whereas the 3rd Trailer felt like the beginning of an Action Movie, this just doesn't cut it. It is also obnoxiously loud and unexpectedly quick, as it only runs for about 8 seconds.
