National Amusements has closed Amboy Cinemas for good. It was determined that cost of the repair work would far outweigh the value of the theatres. As a former “part time” projectionist there AND at the drive-in which it replaced, I believe that there are many other factors figuring in the decision to close the place. It will be missed, but not on the same level as the old Menlo Cinema or Woodbridge Theatre.
