Just Jack Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Dad Rents Out Entire Movie Theater So Son Can Play Games on Big Screen A Florida dad decided to give his son a 13th birthday to remember, so he rented out all of Jacksonville's historic Sun-Ray Cinema and told Jonah to invite some friends to play video games on a really big screen. For just $300, Travis bought himself five hours of gaming time, as well as unlimited, pizza, popcorn, and soda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph W. Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Damn $300 really isn't that much. Maybe I might do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just talked to your girlfriend and told her mine was a 34 incher but my shows are better. She's on her way over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably this was before your facial? Interesting that it's worth the theater's time to charge only $300 for 5 hours. I'm thinking business is slow.

There is a bar/theatre in Charlotte somewhere, I forgot where, that plays the games on their big screens on game day. They have like 8 theatres and show each game, you can drink and go from game to game. I forgot the name of it, in fact, I am not even sure they still do it.

IDBillzFan Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I go see movies at 11am and sometimes I'm the only guy in the theater. We do this, too, mostly because any movies we see are for our 8-year-old son, which often times means the theater would have a ton of kids. So we grab breakfast, and go to the earliest showing, which is not only empty, but significantly cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 You read Ralph's autobiography, didn't you? It's more along the lines of "I hate crowded theaters, and oh, hey, it's only $5 per ticket?" If it weren't for my son, I'd never go to the movie theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
