This Long Island neighborhood house managed to survive playing mostly second run but infrequently, first run engagements as well. The Oceanside Twin suffered heavy smoke and water damage from a fire at a nearby vacant supermarket in November 2005. The theater was closed and demolished in late-2007.

On the site where the supermarket burned down or on the site of the theater? Or both?
The newspaper article reports that a Wild By Nature supermarket will be built on the vacant lot site and the Walgreens will be built on the theater location.
I passed the site yesterday. The theater has been razed.
Another one bites the dust.
this thing lasted 15 years longer than one would have thought..
Sadly a new CVS has gone up in its place. And just east of the old place is a new supermarket. I was able to see one of the last movies ever played there. Farenheit 911 by Michael Moore. I think that was in 04 or 05
It’s a Walgreens. And there’s no sign that there ever was a theater there.
Someone is actually talking about CUE MARKS,ask an 18 year old projectionist at your local 20 plex about them.Automation sounds great,but i knew a lot of operators that lost jobs in the late 70’s having shown movies since the 30’s in some cases,but that is business,isn’t it.The Human cost,out the door.
Its amazing that there are no movie theaters in Oceanside .
A drug store and supermarket have been built on the former site.
In its last decade (or more) the Oceanside Twin was poorly maintained, in contrast to the very good Malverne Cinema, which shares the same owners.
