Newburgh, NY: Movie Theater Announces Plans to Close

Posted on Thursday, August 22, 2024 3:43 PM

There will be one less option for moviegoers in the Newburgh, New York area after September 15, 2024. The Showtime Cinemas near Newburgh Mall northeast of the intersection of I-87 and I-84 announced recently that it will be closing in September:

It is with great sadness that we bring forth this announcement of our official closing date. Since 2020 we had a massive battle to fight and we overcame it with the help and support from the local and surrounding communities. We would like to thank all of you for the support you have given to us during the roughest of times, from the drive thru food sales, private rentals and of course the drive-in movies during the summer of 2020. We came out on the other side and continued to battle with our property being sold numerous times to storage facilities. Showtime Cinemas also would like to recognize all the terrific employees that have worked the ticket and concession counter over the years, which has made Showtime Cinemas what it is today – a place that many residents call their home away from home. 

Unfortunately, the time has come that we lost our fighting battle. We are saddened that we have to say our goodbyes. As we march toward the OFFICIAL closing date of September 15, 2024, we will be limiting our hours to weekends only. Please take a moment to look through your belongings and ensure you have utilized all gift cards or gift certificates that you may have from Showtime Cinemas. We will be accepting gift cards, any non-expired vouchers (with the exception of vouchers that may have expired on Aug. 31st, 2024) until September 15th, 2024.

Thank you again for a fantastic 20 years and we look forward to seeing the community for their last visits over the next few weekends.

If you have gift cards or vouchers for the theater, you'll need to use them before the theater closes.

According to an article published in the Mid Hudson Times in March (see list below), plans are in place for a self-storage facility to replace the movie theater.

After that date, moviegoers in the area will need to visit one of the other nearby theaters, including the Story Screen in Beacon and the Regal Fishkill in Fishkill.
