An older movie theatre Glynne’s Greenport Theatre was originally on this site, which was destroyed by the New England Hurricane on September 8, 1938 (it has its own page on Cinema Treasures). The 911-seat Greenport Theatre was opened May 11, 1939 with Don Ameche in “The Story of Alexander Graham Bell”.
Since June 19, 1992 the theatre has had four screens (thee in the former orchestra and the balcony is the fourth screen). It is located in the heart of town at E. Front Street and Third Street.

This building replaces Glynne’s Greenport destroyed in the 1938 hurricane. It has its own listing on CT.
Hopefully something can happen with Theatre. It’s a seasonal Theatre I’ve been told and it’s a shame it has an opened up this year. But hopefully the fundraising campaign will go well and they can open it again very soon
It’s being offered for sale in “immaculate condition”. No comment.
Oh dear!!!!!!
There is no signage on the building indicating that it is for sale. The marquee reads “Welcome to Greenport”.
Well what do you know!!!! The theater will stay. More to come!!
Q: WHEN WILL THE THEATER OPEN?
A: Our goal is to open the doors to the community on Dec 26th with the “Holiday Film Series” which will run for three days. Exact movie times will be announced at the beginning of December 2023.
Hopefully they will take up the void left by the virtual closing of the Mattituck Cinemas to film.
hopefully they will add surround sound
