Jeffers commented about UA The Movies at Sunrise Mall on Dec 8, 2003 at 8:52 pm

You’re thinking of the Sunrise Cinemas in Valley Stream, which is still operated by National Amusements. The Sunrise Cinemas was the theatre in which several people were killed in a gunfight during a showing of The Godfather Part III.

The Sunrise Mall Theatre was inside the Sunrise Mall about 15 miles east of Valley Stream in Massapequa. This was one of the worst-run theatres by UA (quite a feat) and before they entered bankruptcy they simply stopped paying the rent. They were locked out of the theatre suddenly by the Mall management and Long Island was finally rid of the Sunrise Mall Theatres.
