Adding up the number of screens in this ad you should get about 200 screens. That is an extraordinary number of screens and furthermore many of these theaters are located fairly close to each other. For example, Eastland Center 8, Consumer Sq. 14, and Pickerington 16 are a short drive off I-70 from each other. Northland 8, Easton 30, and Movies 16 at Gahanna were fairly close together from Morse Rd. Westland 8 and Georgesville Sq. 16 were not far apart from I-270. This exhibition policy began in the nineties and practically makes available to the megaplexes and multiplexes located in most large metropolitan areas the same first-run movies at the same time and date.

I checked out the theatre’s website on September 22, 2025. It mentions that an addition was constructed and the theatre now has two screens. To prove this is true, two movies are scheduled tonight at about the same time. One movie starts at 9:00pm and the other at 9:15 pm. One film is “Spinal Tap II” and the other is “The Long Walk.”
