About as cookie cutter as a megaplex can be. Volume is usually kept low due to the thin walls between the screens. Endless pre-film ads. Poor presentation is always par for the course here.
On a recent visit here I had a horrible movie-going experience with poor sound, failure to immediately switch sound over from the ads to the film once the film started, wall lights left on during the entire film, outrageously overpriced snacks, sticky floors and, of course, rude/noisy teens. Places like this will ultimately kill the theater industry.
According to this article, the theater has closed:

Re-opened a couple of years ago under the Flagship Theatres banner. The complex was reconfigured from 12 screens down to an 8 screen recline-o-plex.
Opened on January 16th, 1998.

Martro Theatres Inc. of Millersburg announced the Cinema Center to be located in a former Jamesway retail store in 1997. It was designed as a $2.5 million 12-screen theatre which opened 2,300 seats. The architects were Fountainhead Associates. The North Londberry Square had opened theatre-less in 1989 and ran into financial issues. Martro went into the project after also taking over a former Ames Department store in Bloomsburg and converted it to an 8-plex.
It closed on July 29, 2009. Since being reopened in October of 2014, it has reduced seat count with recliner seating.
Some updated history of my local theater: after reopening with 8 screens in 2014, Flagship has added additional screens twice. First, in December of 2015, Screens 9 and 10 opened just in time for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Then, in November 2019, they added Screens 11 and 12 (with newer model recliners with heated seats) as Frozen 2 opened. The theater closed on Monday, March 16, 2020 due to the pandemic, then reopened on Monday, August 31 that same year, the first day of Tenet previews.
