Orangetown may soon purchase a vacant theater for less than the cost of a matinee movie ticket.

As of this writing this has not happened. The citizens of Pearl River felt that accepting a zone change in exchange for the theater was not acceptable. The theater still sits empty and abandoned, and falling apart… sadly.
