Cinema Center: Cinema Center is a grand multiplex theater, with as many as twelve movie screens, located in Palmyra, Selinsgrove, Camp Hill and Bloomsburg. It also has one of the best gaming facilities, including video games for children. While entering the theater, it is impossible to miss the one-line electronic display with the title of the movie and as soon as the film begins the title display is changed, with the title and timing of the next scheduled show. Stanley Durwood conceptualized and pioneered the first multiplex in 1963. He believed that he could operate several auditoriums with same number of staff required for one theater, with the help of efficient management. Since then multiple-screen theaters have become a rage and many different venues have been converted into multiplexes.

It screens new releases on multiple screens, where sometimes, the same film is viewed on different screens. This often limits people’s choice of movies, but it also provides more seats for the same film. Earlier, multiplexes had two to three screens, but now all the multiplexes are well equipped with as many as twelve to sixteen big movie screens. One or more aisles divide rows of seats, thereby ensuring that there are not more than twenty seats in a row.
