The former Limelight Cinema building in Oamaru, which its owner says can house a viable movie theatre business. PHOTO: DANIEL BIRCHFIELDOamaru can sustain a movie theatre - but not one that shows movies seven days a week, the owner of the former Limelight Cinema building says. Living outside Oamaru was the main reason he wanted to sell up, he said. There had been interest from several buyers, the majority of whom were from outside Oamaru. As far as the cinemas themselves, he said two could be opened to show movies and the third had the potential to be used for theatre productions.
