Wow!  This is amazing.  What the hell is this about?

Im going to be there, but what is the opening about?  Who owns it, what is it going to specialize in?  What are the hours?

Great development for Five Points!

Does this mean that you didn't know about this ahed of time Stephen

Great news for Riverside. 

I doubt riff raff would want to see Casablanca (one of the best movies of all time BTW).  Hopefully the owners will be as selective with their first run movie choices in order to bring in a well behaved crowd.

UPDATE:  Our 9 pm movie will be "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

[Dapperdan]

Is the 9 PM movie free as well?

Another Update:

Tonight we'll begin regular movie service, with "Ghost Town" at 7:00 pm and "Batman: The Dark Knight" at 9:30 pm.

I am in St. Louis this week but I will check you guys out soon.

We went to see Ghost Town at the 5 Points Theater last night and enjoyed it, there were 7 of us and 2 couples.
We were disappointed that the balcony is closed off and all of the seating is to the sides of the screen, no middle seats.
Its still nice to have a theater back in the neighborhood though

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

with a 4 pm matinee on Saturday and Sunday.

Thursday, October 30th at 6 pm we'll be hosting a benefit
for the Riverkeeper and showing a new film about the river.

Starting October 31st, we'll have Zack and Miri Make a Porno.

As always, we've got full concessions (now including Nacho Chips!),
plus 6 draft beers and a nice wine selection.

Also, I forgot to thank Jacksonville Confidential for your comments.

We would like to re-open the balcony, but it's kind of tricky because the railing was replaced when the place was converted into a nightclub.  The new railing is too high to allow seats up there.  We can't re-do the original railing because of code issues.  We'll probably have to go back with a glass railing, which is kind of pricey.
