Addison says Skylight's goal is the same from June to April as it is for this week in May — a movie experience as comfortable as lounging in front of the television at home. "It's so easy to sit down in your nice comfy chair with your 60-inch flat- screen TV," he says, "but here you get that same luxury of reclining seats or leather rockers and you can get a good meal to go with it — that someone else cooks." Food service, he explains, is the thing that's bringing patrons — from families to couples on date nights — out to the movies. "The trend is, movie theaters are on the decline, but all of them with the dine-in movie theater experience are on the upswing," he says. "You choose your seats online, arrive and they're reserved for you, order dinner — we have everything from fish and chips to pizza to salads — and watch the movie. You can relax and not worry about the rush, not have to cook, not have to clean up. It's not uncommon to see people come in with pillows and blankets to make themselves really comfortable." Addison admits, however, there will most likely be a rush for tickets to "Avengers: Infinity War" and perhaps even more so for the free screenings of the rest of the Marvel canon. They'll be general admission, but patrons can stop by starting April 29 to get their tickets. The Marvel films will begin at 10 a.m. May 2, and the last of those shows starts at 3:45 p.m. on May 3. Themed food service is also planned, with the bar opening at 10 a.m. and food service around noon. "Skylight Cinema not only stands as a unique, close-to-home movie-going and dining destination for the Bentonville and greater Northwest Arkansas communities," says Clevenger, "but Skylight Cinema was designed to host the Bentonville Film Festival, which is anticipated to become a world-class film festival as more and more people discover the charm of Bentonville in general, and the inspiring energy and mission of BFF in particular." Courtesy Photo Dining offerings at the Skylight range from chips and queso to pizzas to a filet tenderloin sandwich to an All-American hot dog. Cocktails, beer and wine are also available. BFF
