There is no signage on the building indicating that it is for sale. The marquee reads “Welcome to Greenport”.

Hopefully they will take up the void left by the virtual closing of the Mattituck Cinemas to film.

The small theater in the back but it’s been fixed. That theater will not be used so much for movies in the future. The 3 main theaters will be used for movies and events.
