This cinema was always known as Village 3 & 4 and never renamed.

The original Village Twin, as described above, was never subdivided into a quad.

This cinema was never subdivided into a four screen cinema. It remained a twin screen cinema until its closure, operated by Village Cinemas and then Peninsula Cinemas towards the end. It was not built on the site of the 1933 Frankston Picture Theatre. The original Frankston Picture Theatre was in nearby Playne Street, demolished to be replaced by the Ball and Welch department store in the early 1960s.

The twin cinema in the Peninsula Centre building over the road was only ever known as Village Cinemas 3 & 4, closing some time before this cinema.
