Keep Neighborhood Flix open

Named 5280's "Best Independent Theater" in its first year, Neighborhood Flix is Denver's only family-owned movie theater. Located in the renovated Lowenstein Theater Complex on Colfax along with Tattered Cover and Twist & Shout, Flix opened its doors a year ago, and has had to fight against larger territorial movie chains for the fair opportunity to showcase first run films.

In the film industry, the first few weekends of a film are the most lucrative. Neighborhood Flix been working very hard to secure these opening films and to help us bring in the business we need to keep their doors open. This has been difficult for them to do due to the overwhelming influence, deep pockets, and business practices of their competitors.

They want to continue the fight, but need the support of our community to help keep their doors open with two fundraisers.

First, Flix is selling a "2 for 1" movie ticket coupon for just $10- perfect for date nights, birthday gifts and office pick-me-ups. They only have a limited number to sell, and they will expire Dec 1.

Second, Flix will be hosting a special evening for the people of Denver who would like to help a small, minority-owned business keep its doors open. On Thursday, October 9th they will host a special engagement showing the film 'The
Pursuit of Happyness' staring Will Smith. Tickets are $100 a person and include appetizers and cocktails starting at 6 p.m. The movie will begin at 7:30 p.m.
