Another 60’s shopping center theatre, the Closter became one of the first Clearview Cinemas in the early 80’s and was divided into four auditoriums.

UA sold the buisness to the long defunct independent, Consolidated Cinemas Corporation in 1980. The theatre had a huge screen and working curtain. When Consolidated folded, the theatre went though a number of other independent owners until Clearview got it, and cut it up into 4 small theatres.
Listed as a single screen independent theatre in the 1991 International Motion Picture Almanac. Owner is listed as Closter Cinema Corp.
