Finally, a new movie theater is approved in Sullivan County.

According to the Times Herald Record, the required building permits were issued for the Thompson Mall movie theater on Tuesday and could be open in time for the holiday season.

The movie theater will house six screens. It is located just off Route 42 in Thompson will be the only open movie theater in Sullivan County other than the one that is in Callicoon and only has one screen.
