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.

Fare thee well, Commack Multiplex. A lot of fond memories here from years past. Unfortunately, for the past ten years, it mainly smelled like pee.
Wow, you know you are getting older when things you remember brand new and opening up 20 or 30 years ago are now closing…..
Thanks for the link to the article. Ironic that the Commack Cinemas closed after being sold to “Lowe’s”…. Now if this had been a Loews theater, imagine the play on spellings and words that could have been….
Lol Bway. You made the same joke in your post on May 27, 2010.
Note to CT Admin: You can update the overview blurb from “mid-1980s” to “October 28, 1983.” That’s when it opened.
Hahaha, I don’t remember that, but at least I’m consistent!
Tonight parking lot was empty. Pylon was empty and dark. Facade of the theatre was lit like it was business as usual.
Only saw 5 pictures here, usualy went the day after Thanksgiving though I saw 3 pics in 2005. Films seen there include Extreme Ops (first in 2002, The Ice Harvest, The Ringer, Syriana and last but not least 4 years ago Mr. Magorium’s Magical Emporium. Sad a 15 plex yet.
I was only here once for the Silver Screen classic after I moved east and Farmingdale was too much of a haul. The theatre was obviously outdated since it was obvious that they had just added onto the building from the original core. The auditorium was narrow and uninviting. The free goodies which come with a classic presentation were not up to the standards, or quantity, available at Farmingdale.
They’re starting to board up the front of the theatre.
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.
