If you are sure it is a 2:1 ratio rectangle.

convert image.png -gravity center  -crop 50%x100%+0+0  image_center.png

The +0+0 turns of tiled crop.

See IM Examples,   Cutting and Bordering
   http://imagemagick.org/Usage/crop/

Look at percentage crops, and tiled crops.
Better still look at all the examples given.
