The Cranford Theater in Cranford, New Jersey closed temporarily in September 2025 for a renovation project, and it announced recently that it will be reopening later this month.
The movie theater on its Facebook page announced last week that it will be reopening November 25, 2025:
Dear Cranford Theater Family,
It’s been a long road, but we are just two weeks away from the big day — and we couldn’t have gotten here without you. Your love, encouragement, and unwavering support have kept our fire burning over these last seven months, and we are beyond excited to finally welcome you back to the newly refreshed Cranford Theater.
This has always been more than just a movie theater — it’s a place where we come together to enjoy stories on the big screen, where families and friends gather, and where new friendships are made. A place filled with laughter, memories, and shared experiences that connect us all.
As we reopen, we’re not only bringing movies back to downtown Cranford — we’re expanding what the Cranford Theater can be. Alongside films, we’ll be hosting comedy nights, live music, talkbacks, book and film clubs, and community events so that there’s always something for everyone to enjoy.
At a time when so many movie theaters have closed, it means the world to us to be able to bring Union County’s only remaining hometown family-owned independent theater back to life — one of just a handful left in the state. But we can’t do it without you. Independent theaters like ours survive only through the continued support of their communities.
So grab your tickets, settle into your favorite seats, and get ready to be part of our comeback story. The popcorn’s popping, the lights are dimming, and the magic of the movies is waiting for you.
Tickets are now on sale at cranfordtheater.com
With gratitude and excitement,
The Cranford Theater Family
The movie theater originally opened November 29, 1926 as the New Branford Theatre. 99 years later, almost to the day, it will be providing Cranford and the surrounding community with a place that offers movies as well as live entertainment events.
Showtimes and Tickets
The theater will be opening again on Tuesday, November 25, 2025. To see what's playing and when, and to buy tickets online, please visit the Showtimes page for the Cranford Theater.
Until it opens, moviegoers in the area will need to visit one of the other nearby theaters, including the AMC Mountainside 10 in Mountainside and the AMC Aviation 12 in Linden.
