They also held church services on Sundays at the former Patchogue Multiplex untill it closed. It’s a good way for extra money, and the church services are usually held in the morning before the movie theater opens anyway.

It’s not uncommon for services at movie theatres. I believe they’re still doing it in Mastic.

According to this blog item with a picture, an unconventional pastor is looking to hold church services at this theater: View link.

I was surprised when this theatre opened because the area had such a poor history of theatre support for the Ronkonkoma, Jerry Lewis (later Lakeside Cinema) and College Plaza twins. And it’s exterior has to be the most unattractive of all the multiplexes.

Here’s a satelite image of the Regal. It must have been taken early in the morning as the lot is empty!

I agree. While I like the Island 16 better (it’s more state of the art), the Ronkonkoma is less of a hassle, and quite comfortable. Like I said above, the Ronkonkoma was quite state of the art itself when it first opened. It was the first stadium theater i was in to that point.

This is a pretty nice place to see a movie. Espcially now that Island 16 has opened, it’s not such a madhouse there. And 9 seems like a nice number of screens. Keeps the crowds reasonable.

It is a clean design and similar to the UA Farmingdale and UA Westbury, the other Regal Mega-plexes on the island.

This theater was always a madhouse when it first opened. I guess now that the novelty has worn of about stadium seating (now that other multiplexes have it now too), it is not quite the madhouse anymore, although is still a nice theater. You used to have to come really early, otherwise the movie you wanted to see would be sold out, or you would get stuck in the first row if it wasn’t.
