Cinema has reopened according to the AMC website.
Closed Sunday for unforseen maintenance according to local media. No more info found.
Closed by AMC in 2008 and reopened September 25th, 2009, as the Flagship Premium Cinemas. Another ad posted.
Opened as the AMC Hampden Center 8 on July 29th, 1988.
Now we got Tilghman back as an AMC
Which means this building (like the former AMC Tilghman 8 Theatre) was designed by the former Budco Theatres chain, but built by AMC Theatres
The Hampden 8 theatres were the twin sister (meaning built at the same time in 1988 and with the same plans) as the AMC Tilghman 8 in Allentown PA. The Tilghman 8 was just recently remodled into a upscale bar/recline-o-plex. However in order to purchase Carmike the justice department has made AMC sell the Tilghman 8 in Allentown. So not only has AMC has gotten the Hampden 8 back but at the same time was forced to sell the now more upscale Tilghman 8.
Try as hard as they did to get rid of this, AMC has it back again after the purchase of Carmike. :)
Sold to Carmike Cinemas http://blogs.indiewire.com/boxofficeinsider/carmike-purchases-bud-mayos-digiplex-cinemas-in-all-stock-deal-20140515
On December 18, 2013, this theater was acquired from Flagship Cinemas by Digital Cinema Destinations Corp. (Digiplex Destinations).
