Patrons are giving downtown Williamsport's new Cinema Center "two thumbs up." Martin Bryant of Williamsport said, "It's an excellent movie theater, and it's about time."

Bryant and his son spent the afternoon watching the new Speed Racer movie. It was their first flick at the recently-opened Cinema Center. "You know you got the big screen, and the sound. I mean you got the sound all around you and it's nice and loud. You know I couldn't do that at home cause everybody would be complaining," he laughed.

From Indiana Jones on May 22nd and Sex and the City on May 30th, to the Incredible Hulk on June 13th and Batman the Dark Knight on July 18th, there's sure to be something for everyone.

Cinema Center officials say there will also be plenty of exciting promotions, midnight movie showings, free popcorn nights, and more to keep movie lovers coming back.

The new Cinema Center location has only been open for about three weeks now. But we're told business is booming, and moviegoers here say they're glad to have a theater in downtown Williamsport. "Being that it is in town and I live here, I'll come to the movies more often," Bryant explained.

Sherry Golembeski noted, "The mall's not that far, but it's just nice having more businesses downtown and being able to support our own town."

Golembeski brought some family members to the theater to see "Made of Honor." She says she and her daughter are frequent movie-goers. "She's excited (to see) Kung Fu Panda, and Wall-E, and the other Disney movies. So yeah she's pretty excited about that," Golembeski said.

Cinema Center tickets can be purchased online or through the box office. So head out to your local theater, grab a snack, and enjoy what's shaping up to be another blockbuster summer movie season.
