The California Diner next door to the theater also sits in Patchogue:

In every listing I have ever seen it is listed in Patchogue. They met with the residents of Blue Point because it is in the Blue Point school district and it will effect them (there is a small neighborhood in Patchgoue off Waverly Ave that is also Blue Point school district, even though they live in Patchogue).
In addition to the school district reasons for meeting with the residents of Blue Point, they met with them because the houses that abut the movie property are in Blue Point.
The town of Blue Point and Patchogue dividing line goes through the movie propety, but the mailing address of the theater IS Patchogue, and served through the Patchogue post office. Since the entire property as one piece sits partly in Patchogue, and partly in Blue point, once the property is divided up, there will be some that live in Patchgoue, and some that live in Blue Point, although all of the kids are within the Blue Point school district zoning.
everyone thinks its patchogue but it is not
that is not correct call 411 it is a bluepoint listing and also in the news reporting they meet with the residents in bluepoint.
I know someone found it before. I just needed some levity
Gustavelifting, we all believe you. And like I said, you can very clearly see it in the aerial photo I mentioned above.
longislandmovies, the UA Patchogue 13’s address is indeed Patchogue, not Blue Point as you mentioned above. The multiplex property straddles both towns, and is actually in the Blue Point school district, but the mailing address is indeed the Patchogue 11772 part of the property, and what they use as the mailing address. I have never seen it listed as Blue Point, even though a piece of the property is in Blue Point.

The old theater is still there, at least someone found it.
The Long Island Advance, which is the “local” papaer that longislandmovies mentioned above, had a pretty cool aerial shot of the UA Patchogue a week or too ago with the article. From the aerial shot you can CLEARLY see the original Sunrise (Patchogue) Drive In structure, and how it’s connected to the current multiplex building.
Gustavelifting, nah, you don’t need to add another theater for the old Sunrise, because the Drive in “IS” the UA Patchogue 13 property.
Any information on the drive-in should be listed here, not in a different section. As we now all know too, even the indoor portion of the old drive-in still exists as one of the theaters of the Patchogue 13 multiplex, so it “is” the same theater. Although if it was in fact called the Sunrise Drive-in, in addition to the Patchogue Drive-In, that should be listed as one of the former names above.
2006 would be my guess
It isn’t settled yet. And once it is, if it takes them as long to get their permits from the Town of Brookhaven as it does for most people, there are a couple of years left for the old theater yet.

Okay
Look for a new theater at the old loews south shore mall location a 16 plex is before the town of islip for review.
The Patchogue 13 is in the town of Blue point
Well, there goes the old Sunrise, or should I find info on that to put on this site? There will be no memories of that left soon.
The writing for this has been on the wall for some time now.
This week the local Patchogue paper says this theater to close. 50 + houses to go on the theater lot.
This theater needs some tlc but the basics are not bad .Needs more of a good cleaning ..These theaters are in worse shape , Sayville, islip ,oceanside, sagharbor, greenport,southbay, the list goes on and on
The only theater anywhere near here that is in worse shape is the Sutton.
I dont think this theater is in that bad of shape , have seen much much much worse.
If only they took this place and the UA Coram Multiplex that shut down two years back and converted them back into drive-ins…
The UA Patchogue is my second stop, at most, to see a movie. I go there plenty of times, most recently to see “National Treasure” and “The Polar Express”, and I have to agree with all of you, it is in sad shape. I hate the idea that this theatre would have to close, as an empty patch in the woods is really depressing. Ah, nestled “in the woods”, that’s why I love this theatre. That idea is nifty, and it’s always worth a nice laugh to look at the nearby estates and consider how cool it would be to live there as, “All you need to do to see a movie is walk down that road.” Yeah, that’s my mother’s line.
I really hope something can be done to renovate this theatre for the modern days of moviegoing.
One minor correction – the name of the individual who is the majority owner of the Regal Entertainment Group (and also counts Qwest Communications, Walden Media, and the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings, among his other holdings) is Philip Anschutz.
Correction on the previous post – the California circuit that Anschutz bought out of backruptcy was Edwards, not Act III – sorry for the error….
