The film director behind Mad Max and Babe, George Miller, has listed the historic art deco The Metro theatre in Sydney's Potts Point with $20 million plus hopes.
It has been his headquarters for more than three decades, but now redundant given his relocation to Fox Studios.
It was built in 1939 as The Minerva Theatre opening with a production of Idiot's Delight. Sam Hood took photos.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer purchased the building in 1950 and converted to a movie theatre, renaming it the Metro Cinema with stars such as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton attending premieres.
Then as a theatre it hosted performances including the 1970s musical Hair by Harry M. Miller.
