A reality is that the PJ Cinemas are just down the road in neighboring Port Jefferson Station. Before the reno I didn’t think much of this place.
Please update, closed September 7, 2023
Please update, CLOSED: Dear Valued Patrons, It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the closure of our beloved community-focused movie theater for the foreseeable future. This decision has not been made lightly, but it has become necessary due to the challenges of high rent and declining foot traffic. Over the years, our theater has been a place where the community has come together to enjoy films, create memories, and celebrate the magic of cinema. We have cherished every moment spent with you, our loyal patrons, and the support you have shown us. We want to extend our sincere thanks to each and every one of you who has been a part of our theater’s journey. It’s been an incredible ride, and we couldn’t have done it without you. We are going to miss hosting your birthday parties, special events, gaming tournaments, sensory friendly screenings, Princess/ Superhero meet-and-greets, and so much more. Additionally, we would like to take a moment to express our deep appreciation for our dedicated movie theater staff. Their hard work, passion for the community, and commitment to creating exceptional experiences have been the heart and soul of our theater. They have tirelessly worked behind the scenes to bring you the best in cinema, always with a smile and a warm welcome (and hot,fresh popcorn that we all love so much!). We are grateful for their unwavering support and the countless ways they’ve helped make our theater a place of warmth and hospitality. Our staff members truly embody the spirit of community, and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts for their outstanding contributions. While our doors may be closing for now, the memories we’ve created together will live on. We encourage you to continue supporting your local arts and entertainment venues to keep the spirit of community alive. Thank you for being a part of our theater’s story, and we hope that this is a temporary speed-bump and will soon make a comeback! With love and gratitude, Nicole Rapp General Manager Movieland Cinemas If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to send us an email

Pine cinema in trouble 29 Jan 1974, Tue Newsday (Suffolk Edition) (Melville, New York) Newspapers.com
Please update, theatre in the early 1970’s as a single theatre, became a twin in 1981 and a quad in 1985. Theatre was known as the Pine Cinemas, in 1995 it became a 7 screen complex as the Movieland Cinemas
There were a group of lawyers responsible for both this theater and what was, then, Movieland of Mastic. This fact is particularly interesting since they expanded the Mastic venue without the necessary permits.
Located in the corner of what was originally the Pine Shopping Center, the theater achieved it’s multiplex status by chopping up the original building and expanding it’s footprint in both directions.

This theater is really like an old fashioned movie experience. It’s small, but really well kept.
most recently, there was a fatal accident near that theater, but there was no damage. I first heard about it on the radio.
This is a real nice theater. Been there a few times, And enjoy it. They recently redid the shopping center.
Interestingly, this theater still putters on and both the Brookhaven and Coram Multiplexes have both been closed, and replaced themselves.
I saw The Little Mermaid, Labyrinth and a few others at this theater. It’s the place we went after the Brookhaven theater in Port Jeff closed.
It was one of the first multiplexes I remember. Then UA moved in and built the Brookhaven and Coram Multiplexes.
I remember it as the Pine Cinemas as well, the shopping center was on the corner of Pine and 112, right?
I saw Moonraker and Hair here when it was the single screen Pine Cinema. I recall that it was quite large with a big, curved screen. Not long after, it was the Pine Cinema Twin and I remember thinking how could such a big theater be twinned into two tiny little rooms??? What happened to all the space?? I can’t even imagine what this looks like as a six-plex…
I’m not sure, but I don’t think so. I don’t think this theater was ever that desperate.
Was the one you are thinking of in a shopping center on Route 112 with more than one screen?
There was a Coram Theatre that was showing XXX in the early eighties, is this the same one?
I’m not sure, but I am assuming it’s the same company that built the Movieland Cinemas of Mastic, but not really sure.
Was this built as a BS Moss house? All of their newer theatres were named Movieland something. Who runs this now?
The theater is in the corner of the shopping center and it looks small from the outside. However, the auditoriums aren’t too bad when inside. It’s actually a nice place to see a movie.
