After years of famine, the movie theater gods continue to be good to the Jersey Shore. 'Ocean City deserves a movie theater,' said Brett Denafo, whose Town Square Entertainment purchased the historic but defunct Boardwalk movie theater.
The defunct but historic Moorlyn 4 Theatre on the Ocean City boardwalk has been purchased for $1.35 million by Town Square Entertainment, owners of the restored Ventnor Square Theatre, the Tilton Square Theater, the Harbor Square Theater in Stone Harbor, and the under-construction Cape Square entertainment complex in Rio Grande.
But assuming the renovations don’t go beyond some needed roof repairs and a plush interior makeover, owner Brett DeNafo says the theater could be open as early as this summer. DeNafo said his company had attempted to purchase the building in 2018 from the Ocean City Tabernacle, but the price was too high. George’s Candies purchased the building with a development plan but was unable to get necessary approvals, he said. Another buyer stepped in and tried to turn the building into a gym but also was unable to put his plan in motion, and the building became available again.
