News About This Theater
- Jun 6, 2011 — Long Beach Cinemas to reopen
The 560-seat Lido Theater was opened by 1930. It was listed as (Closed) in 1943, but had reopened by 1950. In the 1970’s it was still the Lido Theater. I drove out to this theater because they were running a horror triple bill of three Hammer classics from the 1960’s. The theater was as decrepit as could be, but had the most incredible neon marquee. I wish I had a picture of it, because for a small neighborhood house it was quite special.
The theater closed and the neighborhoods improvement saw another owner reopen it as the Park Avenue Theater. They twinned it on November 18, 1988 and then on May 15, 2002 quaded it. The most recent owners have renamed it Long Beach Cinema 4.
It was suddenly closed in April 2011, but reopened shortly thereafter. It was closed in November 2012 due to flooding caused by Hurricane Sandy. It was renovated and reopened July 2, 2015 with 426-seats. It had closed again in 2021 with a reopening proposed for October 2021, but this never happened. It reopened on May 6, 2022, but closed on April 9, 2023.

Leaving only about two dozen theatres to serve all of Long Island.
So sad but since Covid people I know who were still regular moviegoers stay home and stream. So many theaters here on Long Island never reopened.
