This theater is gonna be renovating for real?
Is this a reno or a tear down and rebuild?
Theater was built in less time than the eight month reno.
The theater is closed until November for extensive renovations http://www.newsday.com/business/roosevelt-field-amc-closed-until-november-for-renovations-1.10052664
Probably will be part of the $600 million reseating project mentioned on the CT home page.
Have any updates been done here?
I remember seeing “Avatar” and “The Pirates! Band of Misifits” there.
Haven’t been in the area for years but I remember thinking it odd that the theatre had two box offices. Handy in view of all the chopping up.
I can’t imagine why anyone would go to this dump to see a movie. I moved to LI in 1986 when I was 13 and saw many movies there through the mid 90’s. Coming from Brooklyn I was used to local theaters with personality that add to the experience, the only theater that offered that was the US Syosset, certainly not this dump. It may have been a place to see a movie, but it was never a place to enjoy a movie. It may have been nice when it opened as a single screen, but it was never nice when I went and I can’t imagine what’s it’s like now. Outside of the two main screens (which are decent), the rest of the screens are awkwardly placed and rather small. Why go here when there is the UA Westbury 12?
Indeed. On my most recent visit to the theatre (before the blackout), a little old lady was taken aback when she was told that the refreshment stand does not sell coffee. But, for her sake, I’m awfully glad that they don’t!
Too bad the punks tear up this place.
Sorry for not posting sooner. A day or so after my last post, I walked over to the theatre itself. They told me that they had a power failure that weekend, and that’s why they were closed.
Must have reopened at some point in time, Newsday Movie Timetable for today shows nine current movies playing.
Updating my post above: this morning I tried calling the theatre again, and let it ring another solid three minutes, when in desparation, I called her sister theatre, the Roosevelt Raceway Cinema. The young punk who answered, definitely a high-schooler, apatheticly replied “I dunno. I haven’t been there>” You would have thought the closing of the co-owned Field theatre would have been the water-cooler…or rather popcorn-popper…gossip of the day! Your comments and info of the fate of the RF theatre would be most appreciated.
Last night, I passed by the Roosevelt Field theatre and it was completely dark. When I got home, and just now, I phoned the theatre and let it ring a solid three minutes. Anyone knows what’s going on there?
Hi Orlando, are you Charlie Orlando the projectionist??

This used to be a good multiplex. The last 5 years hasn’t been good to this theater. Always pulling in the wrong crowd. They don’t even post what movies they are showing at the entrance anymore.
No the Meadows is still the original building just redone inside…
you can say the same fo the meadows.
SHORE theater falls under —kind of —as the Century building was demolished and a new theater went in its place..Where i started as an usher…………….
Also the Shore theatre in Huntington
