The theater closed in March 2020 as a result of the pandemic, and never reopened. In June 2021, it was announced that the theater would be demolished to make way for an expansion project for a nearby grocery store.

The Island Cinema opened as single screen during the early 1980s and was later converted to a twin by splitting the auditorium down the center. The architectural design is functional and non-descript. The facility is very clean and comfortable with the closest completion 14 miles away on the mainland. Photos from December 2010: 1, 2

60 seats and big screen tv. Sounds more like the living room experience.

Sounds like a comfortable theatre to see movies.
