So have you ever showed up for opening night of a movie only to find that you and your buddy can't sit together? Or do you like to arrive fashionably late but don't want to take those last two seats in the front row? Pledge $5000 and you'll be able to call our theatre hotline and have your choice of seats reserved and guarded by our vicious dog Snoopy. OK, the part about the dog is made up, we'll hang a little sign that'll keep those seats safe and sound until your arrival. This pledge also includes all rewards listed above.

Donating at the $10,000 level gets you all of the above rewards plus your own private screening of the film of your choice for up to 300 people, catered by the kitchen that you so generously helped to build. Private screenings are a great way to throw a memorable holiday gathering, birthday bash, unique wedding reception, or to show your employees how much you appreciate them. We'll work with you to customize your event, for example building a slideshow featuring your own photos and music, customizing the menu to your needs, and darn near anything else you can think of.

Super exciting! Welcome back, Tim and Shana!
Thank you thank you! We are excited to come home for good.
The ZARKA Family is IN!
Wish we could do more to guarantee this wonderful project (and people associated) get the wind it needs to take flight. Jacksonville needs this!
Hell yeah Marlo, you are too too too kind. Lotsa love to you and the Zarka Crew.
Congrats and good luck guys! Jax needs people like you! Much love from the west coast!!! Xoxoxox
Jen you are a doll. Here's hopin' we'll see ya at Christmastime.
I wish I could donate more. Hope this helps.
Mikero -- Hey man, throwing in whatcha got and convincing your friends to do the same is all we ask. Thanks for the support!!
If I couldn't be the first donor, I at least want to donate the most random dollar amount. Too bad it wouldn't let me include cents.
I am SO excited that you guys are doing this and can't wait for you to be back!
oooxxx
Actually that is the exact dollar amount for a very important piece of equipment! We simply could not do this without you. Keep spreading the good word, sistah.
I saw the piece in the TU this morning, and I saw Beginners this evening. I'm thrilled to help support this and spread the word!
Beginners was one of my recent favorites too! Thanks for your generous support and we'll see you at the movies.
We got this.
thanks, mista mclain!
Welcome home, we've been waiting for such awesomeness!
Hey Jen! The community response has been phenomenal so far. Thanks so much for your help -- don't forget to tell a friend too!
This is a whole bucket of awesomeness. Going all in.
@jeanmarie-grimsley, thank you thank you. We look forward to filling your awesomeness bucket with popcorn!
So exciting! This sounds like a fantastic project.
Can I make a recommendation of a screening of Attack the Block sometime in the future?
Ah, looking forward to seeing that one ourselves, jessievalentine. Thanks for your enthusiasm and support!!!
I hope you guys reach yr goal, I miss ya'll!!!!
Ya know, Crystal, we kind of miss Jacksonville too.
This is a FANTASTIC project with a novel financing idea. I'm really excited to participate & wish you GREAT LUCK. I can't wait until you're up & running!! The Kutscher family is in - hope to be able to pledge more soon!!
Vickie, YOU are fantastic! Thanks for the warm wishes. No need to pledge more, instead just convince everyone you know to put in their fair share! See you at the cinema!
I am so looking forward to real theater seats. I saw Tree of Life at 5 Points a few weeks ago, and my sore butt was quite the distraction! I love the idea of paring certain foods with certain movies, too. Genius! I wish you all the best.
@schrothie Whew! And that film required all the concentration you could muster. I wonder what food we'd pair with Tree of Life. Something nostalgic, that looks good in soft, hazy light..... Cotton Candy?
::fingers crossed::
I am excited about this project - and the new seats (I agree with schrothie!) I had to get involved - my first job was as an usher at the 5 Points the summer of 1968, the movie was "2001: A Space Odyssey"!
Will the theater still be available for use by outside organizations who want to show special movies as fund and awareness raisers?
Good luck! Great to have you guys back in town!
@joe Cross your fingers! Cross your toes! Cross your eyes! No, they'll get stuck like that.
@greenplan Absolutely, we'll continue to be available for venue rentals. With the improvements to the auditorium and new catering options available because of the kitchen installation we expect those special interest films will be even more popular.
@purplebike Thanks! Running this campaign has reminded us that Jacksonville feels a lot like home.
The Talkies with John Waters was one of the greatest experiences we have had and made us BIG fans of Tim Massert. We were sad when you left town and happy you have plans to come back! We are so happy to support you and support the neighborhood. These plans sound incredible, let's make this happen Jacksonville!!!
Glad you've returned to Jacksonville, you were missed! 5 points theatre is lucky to have you and the whole community will benefit. Can't wait to see this happen!
If I had more money Tim, I'd fund the whole damn thing
God bless you Steve Hafner.
Good luck! This is a worthwhile endeavor, no question.
You don't know me but I know this theatre....it has been many things...but it should be a great theatre! Never give up....
Any friend of Peter David's is a friend of mine. Good luck on your venture from a former movie-theater employee!
I doubt I'd be getting up to Jacksonville for a free night at the movies, but I'm happy to chip in. I love the classics.
Best of luck to you.
I am very excited and believe this project could be transformative for 5 Points
Ah, I remember the 5 Points well. Back in the mid-'60s I was the film critic for the Florida Times Union and Sheldon Mandell was the theater's manager. Being a youthful 25-years-old guy at the time, the elderly ticket booth lady once challenged my movie reviewer's credentials, saying I wasn't allowed to use my father's pass. I had to call Sheldon. I screened 2001 Space Odyssey there, me the only person in the auditorium watching the movie. Saviung it is a worthy project.
Shirrel, we've heard a lot of old stories about the 5 Points but yours might be one of my favorites!
yeah
well done!
John and Dr. Janice Pimentel are proud to support the 5 Points Theatre! We look forward to many years of movies and memories.
Good luck with your project!
This is Josh of Nerd Nation. Instead of my name, is there any way it can say "Nerd Nation" in the pre-show support list? Thank you so much for coming on the show! All the best.
Good luck, Shana! I hope you make your goal.
-TJ Burnside Clapp
I don't live in the area, but I'm happy to support the project as a fan of Peter David and of the general idea that
... That communities need places like this. (Sorry, it cut off.)
Best of luck, Shana! I'll plug this to my Google+ list as well.
Praying that all your dreams come true and happy to be able to help you reach your dreams!!!! Don't give up, keep going forward and everything will work out!!!
-Tyrone Tony Reed Jr.
I only wish I had more to donate.
Just came back for a second round of support. Best of luck, guys.
Good luck and I hope you get fully funded!
-Drew Bittner
Congratulations on reaching the goal - I will look forward to the email confirming you have my small contribution to this (and 100% more comfortable seats!)
Congrats again! Wish you weren't changing the name - is it a sponsorship thing?
how am I supposed to receive my certificate or coupons for my pledge?
Hi Kutscher,
Did you receive an email from us requesting your mailing address? Please let me know.
@greenplan
The 5 Points Theatre will always be the 5 Points Theatre. Sun-Ray Cinema is a new company -- on a bigger scale think of AMC with their theatres at Orange Park and Regency (and a gazillion other places). We are a new business making the necessary investments to keep the 5 Points Theatre from becoming the new 5 Points Walgreens.
