Island Cinemas

In defiance of the usual progression for many theater buildings, this theater was actually converted from a large A&P Supermarket in the late-1980’s or early-1990’s, instead of the typical progression where a theater gets converted to a store.

The eight-screen Movieland Cinema of Mastic was closed at the end of 2007, and a new seven-screen cinema with 725 seats opened on the site in March 2008, named Island Cinemas. By early-2019 it been expanded to nine-screens. It had closed by March 2021 and available ‘For Lease’.

I think its fadcade when it was a Movieworld look like the A & P supermarket.

It was definitely a supermarket (as was the current Hampton Bays). I believe both had been A & Ps.

It most definitely was an A&P Supermarket. I remember going there as a kid.

Probably just phased out because of Covid as is the case with other theatres.

At one time the owners were a group of lawyers. They added a couple of illegal screens. Go figure.

Remains of movies past still on the pylon.
