Before Nov. 19, if you had wanted to see a movie close to campus on a Friday night, you’d have to go shell out at least $8 for a ticket — and at least $3.75 for any sort of food that isn’t candy — in order to watch a new release.

Now for less than that, you can go to FAU’s on-campus theater, buy a ticket and have orange cheesecake or meat lover’s pizza hand-delivered to you at your theater seat.

Since its opening, the theater at the Culture and Society Building has shown movies at FAU like the prostitute-laden Eliot Spitzer documentary Client 9 and the Alfred Hitchcock classic Psycho.

The theater, operated by Portland-based Living Room Theaters, sells tickets to students for just $6.50 ($5 on Mondays and Tuesdays), and delivers food or drinks directly to moviegoers’ seats for $2 more.

Lower prices, however, don’t mean lower quality. Living Room Theaters shows films that can’t be seen anywhere else in town.

Unlike many mainstream theaters, which use film reels to project scratchy video, Living Room Theaters uses all-digital projectors so that picture and sound quality is clean and clear, according to company CEO Diego Rimoch.

Of course, if you’d rather view the films in double-vision, you can order yourself some alcohol. Living Room Theaters serves 5.5-ounce glasses of wine like Spanish Protocolo Tempranillo for at least $6 a glass. Local draft beer like Fort Lauderdale-brewed Native Lager sells for at least $4 per 12-ounce bottle.
