Commack Cinemas was the second multiplex built on Long Island by National Amusements, and located off the Long Island Expressway. It opened on October 28, 1983 with ten screens. Four screens with 512 seats and the other six with 364 seats. The theatre then added two 226 seat houses, split one of the 512-seaters in half, then added two 250 seaters for the current total of fifteen.
The Commack Multiplex Cinemas was closed on September 25, 2011. It was demolished in 2012.

It took a couple of weeks but they finished boarding up the entrance. Then they painted it grey. I wonder why grey, it is a white building. When they closed the Brookhaven Multiplex and boarded up the entrance they painted it white. Somehow the white, albeit boarded up, looked better.
Work has finally begun on the Lowe’s Home Store. To this end a portion of the building which housed the western most auditoriums has been leveled. It almost appears that the rest of the building will be retrofitted. Time will tell.
More than half the building has now been leveled.
The entire building is now leveled down to the foundation.
Interestingly, all what remains is the candelabra style lighting in front of the foundation of the former theater.
And the pylon which has the sign about the construction company. Interestingly neither were vandalized.
And to think NA was thinking of refurbished this theater to the upscale Cinema De Lux it but never happen
That’s the way it is. New theater in (Deer Park), old out. This one killed the Commack Twin and the Mayfair. Did have a longer life than the NA Brookhaven which only lasted eighteen years.
I went here a lot in the 90’s. It was the only multiplex in the area for many years. I think the Farmingdale multiplex at the old Grumman site and then the multiplex at the Deer Park Tanger outlets killed it.
All gone. Only a pile of dirt.
