can't wait to see slumdog millionaire when you get it. i've been waiting to see it in 5 points. if you get milk, that would be incredible!

My vote's for The Westler (are we voting? haha!) but anything that is a little more "artsy" than your typical Hollywood fare would be welcomed with open arms (by me). Feel free to skip the Mall Cop stuff. =)

I want whatever looks like it will bring in the most people. I want that theater to stay forever. I will be in to see slumdog mid week.

My girlfiend and I will be going this weekend to see Slumdog. I think this will be the fifth movie we have seen there, which is probably more 1 more than I had been to the movies in the previous five years together. I love that place. It has always been different sized crowds when we have gone so I don't know how well they are doing with customers. Anytime we go we try and bring friends along so hopefully more people will go and make the theatre a staple of Five Points for a long time to come.

I've been a few times, but I frequent the San Marco Theater more (it's closer).

I can't believe no one has mentioned that those seats are the worst to watch a movie in. Every time I bring someone, they end up complaining of a sore back afterward...

I would endure it to see Milk, though...

really? I actually like the seats. But then again, im still kinda young and can USUALLY sleep on the floor and feel fine in the morning.

But I thought the theatre was too cold.

Me and two friends saw the later showing of Slumdog Millionaire last night. The place seemed to have a really good crowd for both shows. We got there as the first show was clearing out and there was a good amount of people leaving. It was really good to see that many people there. Also they showed previews for Milk and The Wrestler, so hopefully that is a sign they will be able to bring those two movies in sometime in the near future.

The Wrestler is now playing in Jacksonville. Hopefully it plays in Five Points soon.

Any word on what film is next?

I was hoping to catch something next saturday (valentines) and stay in the neighborhood.

The next film is Milk, which starts this Friday, February 6th. It will run for one week.

I'll post the showtimes, etc. as soon as we know them.

Does anyone know if 5 points theatre does advance ticketing?

5 Points Theatre · July 06, 2009, 01:30:54 PM

stephElf,

We can definately sell advance tickets. Send me an e-mail with the name and date/time of the movie and your phone number, and I can call you and sell you the ticket by credit card over the phone. My e-mail is jacklshad@gmail.com.

Or, come by during business hours (usually about 30 minutes before the first movie starts) and pay cash.

We've pre-sold a number of tickets for the Tuesday night at midnight opening of Harry Potter. We haven't sold out at the midnight movies yet, but we've come close the last couple of times.

Thanks!
