The theater, the last one in White Plains, did not give a specific reason for the closure, but said it was based on a "business decision." 

"It has been our pleasure to serve the White Plains community with great movie-going for many years," the theater added in its closing announcement. 

The owners also pointed visitors toward the Showcase Cinema de Lux Ridge Hill and Cross County locations, which are both in Yonkers.
