Opened on November 14, 1973 as a twin screen theatre by an independent operator. It expanded to a triplex on January 7, 1983. On June 7, 1985 it was enlarged to 5-screens and on December 5, 1986 it became a sixplex. On June 24, 1988 it became an 8-screen theatre with 1,222-seats. On August 12, 1989 it was taken over by Cineplex Odeon. One of the few multiplexes on the North Fork of Long Island, the Mattituck 8 is located on Route 25 (Main Road).
In February 2023 it stopped screening first-run movies and went over to revivals. Some of the screens have been closed and by the end of 2023 only wrestling matches were being staged.
It was reopened in early-November 2024 with 3-screens and recliner seating in the former screens 2,3 & 4.

Please update, the theatre will have 3 screens with recliners.
ridethetrain does this mean they have relinquished the space acquired later in it’s operation when they expanded? Did they combine a couple of the auditoriums for a totally new configuration?
Interesting to see how this plays out now that three of the screens at Greenport are also open and showing at least one of the same films.
Surprising that they hadn’t put a teaser on the pylon prior to the “soft” opening.
Im only quoting what was on his facebook page
I’ll have to check it out in person. Unfortunately I won’t be out that way for some time.
Please update, total seats 200
Theatre 1 and 2 70 seats
Theatre 3 60 seats

The original 1, 2 and 3 in the day seated 241, 159 and 162 respectively.
The opening ad does not specifically state Mattituck 3 so, perhaps, additional screens will open down the road. Next time I’m out that way I’ll try and eyeball the situation.

Movie Buffs Rejoice: Mattituck Cinemas reopens with a new look and first-run movies
In a pleasant Tuesday night surprise this week, Mattituck Cinemas reopened its doors in Mattituck Plaza — and not a blockbuster too soon.
With three screens all showing first-run films, a slick new art-deco look and a concession stand that, in addition to all your movie-house faves, includes a special Lucharitos section (with margaritas, too!), Mattituck Cinemas’ new incarnation is returning to its roots.
After its unannounced Tuesday night soft opening, James McKinnon, representative for the Cardinale family, talked about the “labor of love” that went into the relaunch.
“We’d been talking about it for a while. A lot of people would say, ‘oh, we miss the movie theater!’ But we weren’t sure. The movie theater industry is not what it once was,” McKinnon says. “Ultimately, my father-in-law [Alan Cardinale of Cardinale Management, which owns the shopping plaza] decided, let’s give it a shot. It was really him who was willing to take the risk.”
Work has been ongoing to relaunch in earnest for nearly a year, according to McKinnon, re-envisioning Mattituck Cinemas with little luxuries to tempt film lovers from their couches. The theater has been outfitted with all-new, larger screens, state of the art sound systems and projection equipment, and comfortable reclining seats. “The response was amazing,” McKinnon says of the Tuesday night soft opening. “When people walk in and see what it looks like now, they’re pleasantly surprised.”
The theater first opened in November 1973 and for many years was the sole year-round movie house on the North Fork. While McKinnon acknowledges that the movie theater industry has changed immensely since then, especially in the wake of Covid, he and his family felt that a cinema was important to the North Fork.
“It’s really a labor of love and wanting to do something good for the community,” says McKinnon, who was happily surprised by the positive community response as word quickly spread. “Marc [LaMaina, owner of Lucharitos] did a little blurb on Facebook about us opening, and I was shocked at the response from one little post! It was a nice feeling … the Cardinale family appreciates the support and we hope the community turns out for it.”
This weekend, Mattituck Cinemas is screening “Conclave,” “Wild Robot” and “Venom.” McKinnon is planning a grand opening which just so happens to coincide with some huge new releases: “Wicked,” “Gladiator II” and “Moana 2.” Visit Mattituck Cinemas on Facebook for updates and call 631-298-7469 for the latest showings.
Pleaase update, based on new and old photos the 3 screens that were down the hallway on the right is probadly retail space and one theatre on the left was closed off. Pictures courtesy of northfork.com in photos section. Old theatres 2,3 and 4 reopened now Theatre 1, 2 and 3. Total capacity now 200 seats.
This is actually the second time Cardinale has stepped up to revive the theatre. The first time was quite awhile back. The Newsday article describing it was titled, I think, “The awakening of the Mattituck Theatre”. I believe he put $125,000 into it at that time.
Have to eyeball it one day. The auditorium on the left was space later acquired and added to the original footprint.
The films mentioned in the article were playing at Greenport the previous week. Has to see how this plays out.
