HARRISBURG, PA — Add another theater to the recent set of closings by AMC. The nine-screen Colonial Commons showed its last films on November 28. The theater opened in 1991.
There is more at Penn Live.

So what is the grand total now of theaters AMC has closed ? How many more do they quietly plan to closed before 2011 ? November 28 seems to be the date that AMC chose to quietly close many of their theaters.
In this article about the closing of the Colonial Commons, View link the theater’s former manager is quoted as saying the total is fifteen or sixteen.
As I noted in a comment on another AMC closing, there was no general AMC press release about these closings. Local news media seems to find out either just before or just after the theaters close. I just posted two items about two more located in Ohio. But there was some good news today; the former AMC in Keokuk, IA will be reopened. I hope that happens to at least some of the other former AMCs that have recently closed.
