=== 1990s ===
Following Leon Fink's death in 1993, the HOYTS organisation was sold to [[Hellman & Friedman]] and [[Lendlease]]. The company eventually went public in 1995. In 1997, HOYTS expanded to [[Chile]] with the opening of [[Cinépolis Chile|its first movie theatre there]]. In 1999, Hoyts celebrated its 90th anniversary and was ranked the seventh largest cinema exhibitor in the world. In the same year, the late [[Kerry Packer]]'s private family company, [[Consolidated Press Holdings]], bought the chain for $620 million. After that, HOYTS began to sell off international cinemas except for some New Zealand cinemas.{{cn|date=August 2023}}
