Sold to Carmike Cinemas http://blogs.indiewire.com/boxofficeinsider/carmike-purchases-bud-mayos-digiplex-cinemas-in-all-stock-deal-20140515
Try as hard as they did to get rid of this, AMC has it back again after the purchase of Carmike. :)
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.
Which means this building (like the former AMC Tilghman 8 Theatre) was designed by the former Budco Theatres chain, but built by AMC Theatres
Now we got Tilghman back as an AMC
