Pennsdale, Pa. — A movie theater in Lycoming County is set to close its doors permanently next week after months of speculation.
Regal Williamsport’s Great Escape theater at the Lycoming Mall will close after July 20, according to a theater employee who confirmed the closure when reached on Monday by phone.
The theater, which has 12 screens, opened in April 2004. The parent company of Regal Cinemas, Cineworld, filed for bankruptcy last year. In January, Regal Cinemas announced it would close up to 39 theaters in the United States. The Lycoming Mall location was not on the closing list at the time. Two other Pennsylvania locations which were on the list — one in Doylestown and one in Oaks — have closed, according to a list published by Business Insider.
A former Regal Cinemas movie theater that closed earlier this year in Montgomery County has been acquired by a local company that plans to reopen it, offering movie screenings, arcade games and laser tag.
The theater, at 180 Mill Road, was purchased by Valley Forge Promotions, which also operates the American Treasure Tour Museum and Arnold’s Fun Center in the Marketplace at Oaks complex, The Daily Local reported.
