About Us

Open since 1928, this historical landmark has served movie going patrons for almost a 100 years. Supporting our local community, the Hawthorne theater has seen it all. Fighting to survive through the years, the Hawthorne Theater is one of Americas oldest movie theaters. Acquired in 1980 by independant owners known as CJM Cinemas from Mr.Howard Herman, the Hawthorne theater has been a standing pillar in the small community of Hawthorne NJ. We pride ourselves as being a small in town theater providing five screens for entertainment with seating capacities for over 1200 patrons with the most afforadable prices in the tri-state area.....all with first run Hollywood Hits. 

Having hosted movie premieres, celebrity fund raisers, school events, birthday parties and in town functions, no job was or will ever be to big or small to walk through our doors. Celebrity patrons that have included past Presidents, Senators, Congressmen, Professional Athletes, Actors and Actresses all the way to the King of Pop, the Hawthorne theater treats every guest as family and is always welcoming new customers in our home. With a professional and courteous staff and plenty of on site parking, we strongly believe that the root of all our success comes from the dedicated patrons in our community that have supported our growing family for over 30+ years and will continue to do so for future generations.
