Opened in April of 2007 after having been closed since 2001, the Buzzards Bay Theater was showing second-run films.
It was closed again in October 2007 and was demolished in late-2009.

Anoither cinema falls…. June3rd edition Cape Cod Times.
The owner has a hearing on June 9th with the towns Historical Commission for a permit to demolish.
Another one bites the dust. How sad.
The Quincy Patriot Ledger had a short item yesterday about the application for a permit to demolish. It says that the Buzzards Bay Theater dates from the 1920s, was closed as a Hoyts Cinema in 2001, and that a new operator, Jeff Avery, spent $165,000 in improvements in 2006-07 in an ill-fated attempt to reestablish it as a cinema. The news item says that the owners want to put a parking lot on the site. The theater has been closed for well over a year now.
As of this past Sunday, it’s still standing. The lobby is being used for storage (possibly the auditoriums as well). There is a for lease sign on the building – commercial/subdividable.
This is a June 2009 article that claims the building was going to be demolished this summer. I guess that didn’t happen.
So is it still there?
I heard that it was demolished very recently.
BUZZARD’S BAY.. Bet “ADDAMS FAMILY” did great business.
According to this very short article(which includes photos), it was demolished in mid-November 2009. They didn’t even save the old Chevrolet sign or concrete relief Buzzards Bay Garage sign. Depressing.
