Movie Buffs Rejoice: Mattituck Cinemas reopens with a new look and first-run movies

In a pleasant Tuesday night surprise this week, Mattituck Cinemas reopened its doors in Mattituck Plaza — and not a blockbuster too soon.

With three screens all showing first-run films, a slick new art-deco look and a concession stand that, in addition to all your movie-house faves, includes a special Lucharitos section (with margaritas, too!), Mattituck Cinemas’ new incarnation is returning to its roots.

After its unannounced Tuesday night soft opening, James McKinnon, representative for the Cardinale family, talked about the “labor of love” that went into the relaunch.

“We’d been talking about it for a while. A lot of people would say, ‘oh, we miss the movie theater!’ But we weren’t sure. The movie theater industry is not what it once was,” McKinnon says. “Ultimately, my father-in-law [Alan Cardinale of Cardinale Management, which owns the shopping plaza] decided, let’s give it a shot. It was really him who was willing to take the risk.”

Work has been ongoing to relaunch in earnest for nearly a year, according to McKinnon, re-envisioning Mattituck Cinemas with little luxuries to tempt film lovers from their couches. The theater has been outfitted with all-new, larger screens, state of the art sound systems and projection equipment, and comfortable reclining seats. “The response was amazing,” McKinnon says of the Tuesday night soft opening. “When people walk in and see what it looks like now, they’re pleasantly surprised.”

The theater first opened in November 1973 and for many years was the sole year-round movie house on the North Fork. While McKinnon acknowledges that the movie theater industry has changed immensely since then, especially in the wake of Covid, he and his family felt that a cinema was important to the North Fork.

“It’s really a labor of love and wanting to do something good for the community,” says McKinnon, who was happily surprised by the positive community response as word quickly spread. “Marc [LaMaina, owner of Lucharitos] did a little blurb on Facebook about us opening, and I was shocked at the response from one little post! It was a nice feeling … the Cardinale family appreciates the support and we hope the community turns out for it.”

This weekend, Mattituck Cinemas is screening “Conclave,” “Wild Robot” and “Venom.” McKinnon is planning a grand opening which just so happens to coincide with some huge new releases: “Wicked,” “Gladiator II” and “Moana 2.” Visit Mattituck Cinemas on Facebook for updates and call 631-298-7469 for the latest showings.

Finall schedule from then facebook page

At our North Shore Towers we are proud to present the following 3 films for the week of 4/26-5/2/2024.

“Coup De Chance” Rated PG-13, 97 minutes. Produced in French with English Subtitles. Woody Allen’s latest film. Fanny (Lou de Laâge) and Jean (Melvil Poupaud) look like the ideal married couple – they’re both professionally accomplished, they live in a gorgeous apartment in an exclusive neighborhood of Paris, and they seem to be in love just as much as they were when they first met. But when Fanny accidentally bumps into Alain (Niels Schneider), a former high school classmate, she’s swept off her feet. They soon see each other again and get closer. Friday to Sunday & Wednesday to Thursday @ 2:00 only No shows scheduled on Monday or Tuesday.

“Farewell, Mister Haffmann” Unrated, 1 hour 55 minutes. Produced in French with English Subtitles. The legendary Daniel Auteuil gives one of his most superlative screen performances in the gripping new historical drama from writer/director Fred Cavayé, based on Jean-Philippe Daguerre’s celebrated, multi Molière Award-winning play. Occupied Paris, 1941: all members of the Jewish community are instructed to come forward and identify themselves to authorities. Dedicated jeweler Joseph Haffmann (Auteuil), fearing the worst, arranges for his family to flee the city and offers his employee François Mercier (Gilles Lellouche) the chance to take over his store until the conflict subsides. But his own attempts to escape are thwarted, and Haffmann is forced to seek his assistant’s protection. It’s a risky proposition for both men, and one that Mercier’s wife Blanche (a wonderful Sara Giraudeau) is skeptical of. As the couple move in to the Haffmann home, the agreement turns into a Faustian bargain, one that will forever change the fate of all. Friday to Sunday & Wednesday to Thursday @ 4:30 only No shows scheduled on Monday or Tuesday.

“Wicked Little Letters” Rated R, 1 hour 42 minutes. A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a farcical and occasionally sinister scandal in this riotous mystery comedy. Based on a stranger than fiction true story, the film follows two neighbors: deeply conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and fellow residents begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town’s women – led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan) – begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss, and Rose may not be the culprit after all. Friday to Sunday & Wednesday to Thursday @ 7:00 only No shows scheduled on Monday or Tuesday.

Please note: whenever possible we dedicate all day Wednesday & Sunday to Open Captioning for our deaf and hard of hearing friends and visitors. IF the movie distributors supply us with an open caption version of their film it will be shown on those days.

Here at the North Shore Towers Cinema our Bargain Day continues to be on Thursday with admission of $9 per person. For all other showtimes the admission price is $12 per person. This pricing does not apply to any live events or special shows and we are cash only ticketing.

Wishing everyone a sunny week!
