This sounds really great but there is only parking for about 30 cars. With 550 seats I would guess you need 100 car parks. If you park on the car parks of the adjacent shopping center with huge costs for taxes, security, snow removal you will be towed UNLESS the new theater has entered into a car park agreement! Has it done that? Or do you go to the new theater by Uber?

THEY LOST THE RIGHT TO USE THE LAND OF THE ADJUACENT SHOPPING CENTER. THEY MUST LEASE SOME LAND FROM THE CENTER FOR MOVIE PARKING.

THE ADJACENT HUGE SHOPPING CENTER OWNS ALL THAT PARKING, MAINTAINS IT AND PLOWS OFF THE SNOW AND HAS SECURITY GUARDS. WITHOUT A WRITTEN AGREEMENT MOVIE PATRONS CANNOT PARK THERE AND WILL BE TOWED AWAY. ONE WOULD ASSUME THE MOVIE THEATER OWNER IS ATTEMPING TO REACH AGREEMENT.
SOUTH BAY ONLY OWNS A SMALL AMOUNT OF CAR PARKING IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING AND SEVERAL CAR PARKS BEHIND IT.

Anyone have external screen shots ideally showing the parking available for this theater?

That is great. From the side street the other side of the liquor store you can drive to the rear of the cinema and peak in the back door. Last time we did that we saw tons of what looked like illegal migrants coming out of the theater. I await your pictures. Nice to see this theater open again but where do you park?

Would seem to be useless without parking for any use. Have they renewed the building permits with the West Babylon township?

You make good points. Is there any new activity on the site? What will new movies that are coming out like Ant Man and Mario do to your projections?

I hear that this theater is opening but liquor store is still there. What about parking? This is a huge issue! Anyone know?

They are unable to negotiate a lease with adjacent shopping center.

The comments of robboehm are excellent but: I subscribe to Property Shark and can see the tax maps. South Bay Cinemas is 15,000 sq.ft. on 29,000 sq.ft. of land owned by the Miller Family. There is 10 car parks behind and room for 15 car parks in front but robboehm pictures / google maps show they have not yet been built. The theater has 400 seats WITHOUT liquor store per the building department ( they will answer your queries! ) so parking is inadequate. The adjacent shopping center often filled ( see google maps) is 13.5 acres owned by Basser-Kaufman who do NOT know the Miller Family. A senior security guard of the 13.5 acre complex told me that any theater patrons cars on their land would be towed to make Star Bucks and their other tenants happy. Building department has no application to demolish and rebuild the liquor store site. They say the current building permit covers the existing site only. I think for free or close to fee that robboehm can obtain a FOIL of the building permit for the 400 seat theater or simply chat with the West Babylon Township about this project. Their web site welcomes inquires.

Perhaps the Miller family has run out of money? Perhaps the Miller family is trying to obtain an easement from the Basser-Kaufman family? I fully agree with robboehm that to open this theater with only 25 car parks is not a good idea.

Thanks but….. I cannot find any website. Please give me address. Last I looked liquor store still there. When they going to demo? The adjacent car park is often full and has different owner and guards to order tow away so I think parking there to see a movie not a good idea?

I see they have 10 car parks behind? Are there any in front? If they ever open where will people park? Has anyone looked in from the side street behind the liquor store?

I stopped by on Monday afternoon July 23, 2018. There are fresh pigeons but no tradesmen’s vehicles and no tradesmen working. There is a building permit displayed. Has the renovation group abandoned the project? Anyone know?

Has the work stopped altogether? Or has more progress been made since June 17, 2018

Question: Was Patchogue open during the day on non-school holidays or just at night?

I drove by the Patchogue mutiplex on Monday. There is wording on the marquee that it is closed and to “go to Ronkonkoma cinemas”.
I will be going to Sayville and Island 16.

Well you have advised that the last day of the Patchogue Theater will be Sept 9, 07. O.K. My next question is where will all the customers now go to see movies? What theaters will pick up the business and what % for each acquiring theater? I also note that the Islip Theater has permanantly closed its doors too. Where will it all end?

But they are advertising special shows in late September on yahoo movies. Are you sure of your Sept 9 date for closing down?

I have heard that they received permits to build condos on the site. when is it going to close and what are the details of the condo development?
