this theatre is being mistaken for the former fox plaza theatre.the hylan cinema,originally one screen and later twinned, was located on hylan blvd just south of new dorp lane. annie sez and applebee’s now stand at the location. the ua hylan plaza is the renovated site of the former fox plaza, in the k mart shopping plaza.
The address for the Hylan Cinemas is 5264 Hylan Blvd., Staten Island, NY.
the theatre no longer stands,but when it did it was not on the 5200 block of hylan blvd.that would put it at the southern tip of the island. it was more like the 2500 block,between new dorp lane and rose avenue.
Sorry my error that should have been 2520 Hylan Ave, Staten Island, Ny.
Still got it wrong, 2520 Hyland Boulevard, State Island, NY.
It closed in 1992 or 93 when the crappy strip mall it was in was sold to developers and torn down.
I miss this theater. In my teens, I went to all the New Dorp theaters and the New Springville ones only occasionally (except for Rock Horror in the mid-80s).
I remember, after the movie, I would go hang out in the pool hall down the end of the strip.
saw Amityville Horror here as a very little kid with my older brothers and sisters and their friends…..big mistake! Came out crying and scared sh,,t. Ghostbusters in high school. I remember the pool hall and going to pizza town.
I saw “Midnight Express” here, back in 1978. That was a mistake, too. I was with my high school friend, and we were about 10 minutes late for the movie. When the movie was over, I found that some pinhead had thrown a bottle of Yago Sangria at my car, smashing the windshield. I never did have the car fixed, and I didn’t catch up with the first 10 minutes until “Midnight Express” was run on TV about two years later.
