Middletown's Island Cinema 10 Is Permanently Closing

MIDDLETOWN, RI — Island Cinemas 10 in Middletown is closing its doors for good.

The cinema will have its final day on Jan. 21 as 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," the theater wrote in its announcement on social media. "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."

Island Cinemas 10 brands itself as a friendly neighborhood theater with an old-fashioned feel —but with the added luxury of reclining chairs and a food menu in addition to fresh popcorn daily.

"We truly loved our customers," the theater wrote.
