The Bow Tie Babylon Cinemas in Babylon, New York closed September 7, 2014.
The theater originally opened as the Capitol Theatre in 1922. It was renamed to the Babylon Theater in 1925. Bow Tie Cinemas took over in 2013 when it acquired Clearview Cinemas.
Newsday published an article recently that detailed what led up to the theater's closure:
Bow Tie Cinemas, the last of a series of owners, turned out the lights on 92 years of history on Sunday after the 7:45 p.m. showing of "Guardians of the Galaxy."
Joseph Masher, Bow Tie's chief operating officer, said business at the Babylon, known in its latest incarnation as Babylon Cinemas, had worsened after the 2008 opening of a 16-screen Regal multiplex in Deer Park.
"We've tried everything to help Babylon," he said. "Installed digital projectors, greatly improved the sound, improved the building, significantly lowered ticket prices -- nothing worked."
