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.

For $10001 or more:
We're open to tailoring rewards to donors at all levels. This is a great opportunity for businesses who want to get a head start by buying on-screen ads in bulk at a steeply discounted rate, folks who can get their Christmas shopping done early by purchasing a stack of tickets to give as gifts, or a chance to get nearly anything your little heart desires out of your new, neighborhood theater. Contact us to talk turkey.
Also if you're considering throwing down for, say, a lifetime of movie tickets but want to see the fine details in the business plan just drop a line and we'll send it your way.

Looking forward to it. A question, that I've seen on Facebook, and I share - What's up with the "Sun Ray"? The name "Five Points Theater" is so historic, seems a shame to lose it.
Thanks - and looking forward to the new digs, whatever you call it!

Tim and Shana,
Congratulations on your success. The 5 Points Theatre is an important cultural institution for Jacksonville and especially for my neighborhood, Riverside Avondale, so we are very happy to be part of the support group and look forward to your next event.

Hey Jim!
Good question. I think you may have asked this elsewhere on the site but I'll answer it here too because I think it's an important issue to clarify.
The 5 Points Theatre will always be the 5 Points Theatre. Sun-Ray Cinema is a new company going into an existing, historic building. On a bigger scale think of AMC with their theatres at Orange Park and Regency (and a gazillion other places).Sun-Ray Cinema is a new business making the necessary investments to keep the 5 Points Theatre from becoming the new 5 Points Walgreens. Best case scenario: we'll be expanding to the Sun-Ray Downtown, Sun-Ray Murray Hill, etc, down the road. For now we hope you'll enjoy Sun-Ray Cinema at the 5 Points, or better yet not be thinking much about the name as you enjoy your moviegoing experience.
Jacksonville deserves an awesome movie theatre (or more) and we're ready to bring it!
