Mattituck 8

Opened on November 14, 1973 as a twin screen theatre by an independent operator. It expanded to a triplex on January 7, 1983. On June 7, 1985 it was enlarged to 5-screens and on December 5, 1986 it became a sixplex. On June 24, 1988 it became an 8-screen theatre. On August 12, 1989 it was taken over by Cineplex Odeon. One of the few multiplexes on the North Fork of Long Island, the Mattituck 8 is located on Route 25 (Main Road).

In February 2023 it stopped screening first-run movies and went over to revivals. Some of the screens have been closed and by the end of 2023 only wrestling matches were being staged.

It’s just been announced the Mattituck will no longer screen first run films. Because of declines in attendance and the the terms of rental of a first run film they are often not profitable. Theatre One will become a revival house. The other theatres are being retrofitted for other uses.

I would think under the circumstances they will relinquish some of the space which will return to retail. You may recall the last screens were added using adjacent retail space.

According to the pylon, the main attraction is the Axe Throwing Lounge. Sad.

Phone message indicates classic films are being shown Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Was not impressed by the selection.

What competition is causing this theater to not be profitable with first run movies? It looks like its very well maintained and should do business.

RobertR- Attendance is way off. Apparently the conditions to the movie rental agreements are extremely costly.

Marquee now advertises a new arcade open and a new eatery. Previously it featured axe throwing. The recorded phone message is circa July announcing Sunday classic films. Will be out that way in October and actually park and take a look see.

Took a peek in the closed building. Refreshment stand is gone. There are now clusters of tables. With all the things they are advertising that will be part of the future it remains to be seen whether movies will ever be shown.

This should be listed as closed. From the advertising on the pylon it would seem that, except for wrestling, there is nothing of an entertainment, much less movie experience, available. Should just be a matter of time before they remove the sign “Cinemas” at the entrance.
