6th Trailer (2014-2016)
Nickname: "The Supernova"

Logo: 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.

FX/SFX: 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: Extinct. Seen after the ads and trailers, immediately after the "Turn off your phones" ad from Telstra or Optus.

Editor's Note: None.

7th Trailer (2016-2018)
Nicknames: "Experience More", "The X"

Logo: 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.

FX/SFX: Impressive CGI.

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" doing 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 the Hoyts logo appears again as the orchestra ends its piece.

Availability: Same as before.

Editor's Note: None.

8th Trailer (2018- )
Nicknames: "Experience More II", "The Wine"

Logo: 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.

FX/SFX: The flowing of the red liquid.

Music/Sounds: A sudden, loud flowing of liquid.

Availability: Current.

Editor's Note: None.
