The last of the Calderone Theaters in Nassau County to remain in operation as a movie theater, the Lynbrook Theatre has lost all of its old charm. It was operated by Century Theatres for many years. Over the years, it has been multiplexed into six shoebox theaters.
It fell into disrepair as it went neglected by the UA chain, but was taken over by Regal Cinemas in around 2002.

Birth of quadruplets described at bottom of this page from a 1978 trade journal: Boxoffice
I wonder if the Woodbay Construction Co. is still in business. The did so many theater conversions, I’d love to see their files.
Deadline.com is reporting that Regal is spending $191M to acquire the Hollywood Theaters chain. Link to article. This is the comment I posted in Deadline’s comments section:
Since Regal has so much money to spend, I hope they can throw a couple of dollars at their Lynbrook sixplex, which has plenty of broken seats and doesn’t even have cup holders. They’ve been “planning” to rebuild for over a decade and so have spent very little on repairs and maintenance. Since their new purchase is expected to be “accretive to cash flows” I hope some of that cash flows this way.
right now the theater is different because they have metal platforms for handicapped people.
I wonder when thir currnt lease will expire. I don’t think there will be a renewal.
I have been up to the left balcony auditorium twice in the last 6 months or so, most recently for “Django Unchained,” and I noticed that there is some sort of housing in front of the screen that noticeably cuts a small notch a few inches deep and several feet wide along the bottom edge of the image – dead center, too! Wonder what this is and why it was so poorly placed with respect to the audiences sight lines towards the screen?!
The shoe-box multiplexes lost their popularity when they were upstaged by the venues that provided clear sight lines, comfortable seats, cup holders, and pristine prints for the public’s enjoyment.
Personally, I don’t think that people should patronize any of the newer multiplexes. They should be watching pornography in those dives on Times Square in New York.
Also,we need to support the dwindling numbers of storefront X-rated theaters throughout the country. For some reason, Arizona has quite a few, and, here in L.A., there is only one left – The Tiki, where the Fernwood guy got busted a few months ago. Apparently, it’s a twa-let du jizz, but I plan to become a regular customer, haz mat suit and all. Mr. Solero, here, can back me up on this. He has read of my liberalism and libertine past. Enjoy the show!!
Movieman… bring some clorox wipes along with you.
Mr. Solero – Will do, and I can’t forget bail money. I told my mother that I will be seeing “Blowing In The Wind,” it’s about some very happy pirates. She wants to go; she thinks it’s a biography about Bob Dylan.
Since Green Acres closes, this has become my new movie destination. I saw “The Pink Panther 2”, “Winnie the Pooh”, “Wreck-It Ralph”, “Monsters, Inc. 3D” and “The Croods” there.
