The major alterations of 1938 were a response to competition from the new 1000 seater 'picture palaces' being built by chains such as Odeon, ABC and Gaumont in the surrounding area.

Neil Jordan chose the Phoenix as an early 20th-century cinema for a scene in his 1994 box-office hit, Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles.

In 2010 there was a further renovation to celebrate the cinema's centenary, led by the Phoenix Cinema Trust, and designed by HMDW Architects.
