Island Cinemas today announced that it will permanently close later this month, marking the end of more than thirty years of business in Middletown.
“It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Island Cinemas 10 will be closing our doors permanently on Sunday, January 21, 2024, at the end of the business day,” Island Cinemas shared in a statement posted on Facebook.
“The building has been sold, and the theater lease was not renewed. We have been a part of this community for 30 years, as Holiday Cinemas 7 and then Island Cinemas 10. We would like to thank everyone who patronized our business along the way, we couldn’t have made it this long without all of you. We truly loved our customers,” Island Cinemas said.
A Newport Pickleball website says it will be opening this summer in the “previous Island Cinema location”.
