UNDER THE SAME MOON Breaks Box Office Record!

UNDER THE SAME MOON (LA MISMA LUNA) enjoyed an amazing opening weekend, coming in 10th on only 266 screens, and grossing $2.77M! We had the #1 per screen average of $10,414 compared to the top 20 films this weekend, and our total box office is now $3.49M. And -- just as significant -- per The Associated Press:

"'Under the Same Moon' surpassed the previous Spanish-language record set by 'Ladron Que Roba a Ladron,' which opened with $1.6 million last Labor Day weekend."

Joe Morgenstern just came out with a positive review of the film in The Wall Street Journal, statiing, "Watching this little boy make it all the way to his mother's arms is a treat." The image of Adrian Alonso that ran in that newspaper is to the right.

In other Fox Searchlight box office news, JUNO -- having just run in its 16th weekend, if you can believe it -- passed the $140M mark! Total box office now stands at $141M.

Although it says this movie was released in Seattle, it is not playing in Seattle proper. It has been playing in cities around Seattle, but which are far too out of the way for people who take a bus and don't want to spend money on gas just to watch a film. There are PLENTY of theaters in Seattle, several of which embrace films of social or cultural awareness, so I don't understand why this hasn't been considered? Accounting for socioeconomic factors of this city and the overall record of success for independent films, it's a mistake to not have play in at least one theather here. It's extremely disappointing, because I kknow of several people, including myself, who were looking forward to it.

What about Wichita, Kansas? Why is this movie taking so long for a general release? It doesn't make any sense!!!

hola!!!
Aqui en Iowa la queremos ver, Des Moines sería un lugar perfecto, hay muchos pueblos a su alrededor con muchisima gente hispana que deseamos verla!!!

Aquí en Iowa también queremos verla. Aunque no lo crean, hay muchos hispanos aquí y gente interesada en el cuento de un chico tierno y su mamá separada de él. Estamos en Waterloo, pero iríamos a Cedar Falls o a Cedar Rapids para ver esta película. ¡Gracias!

Hello Out There!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Dont forget about us in North Carolina!!!!!!!!♥

Please show this in Sanford North Carolina as soon as posible.............

Her poise 'is not a facade,' Cody says. 'I have a decade on the girl, and I'm intimidated by her. She is that collected, self-assured and mature. She's comfortable in her own skin. She lacks that insecurity and vanity that's rampant among young actresses these sexy lingerie bedroom furniture days. You'd never call her a starlet. She's an actor in the tradition of Jodie Foster and Sissy Spacek, who are two of her favorites

We want to see this movie in Louisville, Kentucky! When is it coming here?

DONT FORGET ABOUT US HERE IN FLAGSTAFF,ARIZONA WERE ALWAYS LEFT OUT EVERYONE WOULD DIE TO SEE THIS MOVIE

Everyone wants to see this movie in Oklahoma why is it showing anywhere???????????????=(

A lot of my friends and I want to see this movie,when is it going to be showing in Tulsa,Oklahoma?

I am anxious to see this movie, but their is not showing in the State of Oklahoma. What is up with that?

I agree - Oklahoma need to see this movie. Perhaps your lawmakers need to see it in a private viewing?

I saw the movie with my 84 year old mom and two of my siblings, it was the first time Mom had been to the "show" in a couple of decades. She loved it and starting telling her lady friends to watch it and support our "Latinidad". Please watch it on the big screen and don't be tempted to buy a bootlegged DVD. If possible make it a family affair, I guarantee you will have a very good converation piece afterwards and just with commenting and exchanging each other thoughs and perceptions. I know we did.

There are thousands of Hispanics and amigos de Latinos in the Jacksonville, FL area ... PLEASE make sure that the film comes here, too! My husband and I have had the freedom to travel ~ in Mexico, and Central and South America; and currently work with a medical clinic and orphanage in Bolivia. Everywhere we have visited or worked, we were/are welcomed with grace and hospitality by individuals and families who have little to offer, materially. Despite their poverty, their hearts are filled with graciousness and vitality; their homes are warm and welcoming.

The Hispanics we have met who come to the US to live and work, some legally and others illegally, add an important dimension and gift to our life and culture. They remind us, in this generation and time, that at some point in history, that we most of us came from people who were immigrants or nomads. It is an important memory to hold close and cherish. Immigrants and the culture they bring enrich our life, personally, and the broader life of our nation. Without immigrants in our midst, I believe that important elements of our culture will cease to exist. We have historically been a nation of immigrants. Altering that fundamentally changes the pattern of America's national DNA. We can't forget that we are all someone's child under the same moon ...

My mother would always sing this little song to me when I was a kid
so your movie brings beautiful memories with it.

I see the moon
The moon sees me
Under the shade of the old oak tree
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the one I love.

Over the mountains
Over the sea
Back where my heart is longing to be
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the one I love.

Beautiful song.

why aren't you showing any in ky? I am married to a hipanic man who rarely gets to see his family in mexico and i think this shows a different side of hispanics coming here so that they can eat and have soda the things we some times take for granted.

hi guys

What happen to Portland,Or! We only have it showing here for 5 days in some little run down second class theater! This movie deserves better! I am still taking my 13 yr old to go see this movie to support the making of these real life films in hopes next time it makes it to some of the bigger theaters.

A Mexican friend of mine told me about
La misma Luna or Under the same moon as I was discussing an essay I wrote on
www.democrasay.com on Illegal immigration
french writer. Tostada: Illegal immigration.

I have reviewed the trailer and don't know where to go in or around Milwaukee and invite friends to watch it. I want to compare it to my point of view. I even have it right on my essay as I was already touched by the story. Maravilloso. Esta bien. Espero veer lo prontouAt last a movie that is on the real issues.

QUE PASA? THIS MOVIE SHOULD BE SHOWING UP HERE IN GRINGOLANDIA! SO THEY CAN BE EDUCATED ABOUT ALL OF US IMMIGRANTS.
ELK RIVER, MINNESOTA.

Ann Arbor?

anyone know whether this will show in Ann Arbor, MI? I see it will be in Detroit...

thanks!

When is it opening in San Juan, PR?

wher is SEATTLE OR FEDERAL WAY?
i tottally need to see it!

In what theatres is this movie going to be on in West Palm Beach?.......

What about Memphis, TN. Lots of people would like to see it here

I could see this becoming a phenomenon considering the huge Latino population everywhere - not just in the southwest. So I hope the producers consider that and try to expand it! I was disappointed that no city in North Carolina was going to have it, even though there is a very large immigrant population here. I'd certainly drive to other cities to see it (I'm disappointed some people are complaining it's only in the next town over! I'd drive a couple hours and make a day of it!). So here's hoping for Raleigh-Durham, but I'd be okay with Charlotte too =P

If it's to be shown in Detroit starting April 11, how long will it stay? I'm in central FL until 4/30, and it isn't scheduled
here.

In the list there is only LA what about Palmdale ,i would like to see this movie but i guess i have to wait when it comes out in DVD,i have heard great reviews about this movie i would like to see it but i know i have to wait ,Something to think about a lot of film companies maybe dont know there is a big market out there for hispanic movies and a lot of demand for it ,a lot of filmcompanies can make a lot of money out there in the hispanic market there is demand for spanish and also english and spanish movies ,lets go more into detail lets talk about TV black people have Bet (Black Intertainment Television) and stars sometimes i watch this channels bet for the music videos,caucasians (white)2halfmen,and a lot of shows i cant list all but i watch some of them,mexicans have channel 22,34,52, univision is the channel more hispanic watch but it is all in spanish,50% of the time i watch this channels, but i would like to see more english and spanish shows,the only english and spanish channel is the music video channel Latv ,puertorican people have MTV3 ,sometimes i watch this channel i like the music videos they pick ,the two music videos channels i like the most is MTV3 and LAtv and also i almost forgot ,I think its called CruzingTv , i would like to see more english and spanish films that would be nice ,i lot of people forget that America is not just black and white it is also Brown ,we were here with the indians before america was discover i didnt know we were lost,I LOVE PUBLIC SCHOOLS you learn a lot if you want to learn ,dont blame the public schools or the parents blame the students,all i have to say is if a kid wants to learn he will learn and if he doesnt want to learn he wont learn ,The good thing about America is you have public schools and there free(PS public schools are not free parents pay taxes and also property owners pay taxes (parents pay a lot of taxes for the schools but its worth the money)what i am trying to say is other countries parents pay a lot of taxes and they still have to pay extra for schools,What i am trying to say is Americans take a lot of things for granted and other people from other countries are hungry to learn , i am not saying america is bad, I LOVE AMERICA with out america i wouldnt have the brain i have right know .I remember growing up in the San Fernando Valley my dad would take us to the cine Azteca there you were able to watch movies in spanish and also there was another cine in panorama that you were able to watch spanish movies those were the days ,both places are close because the owners wanted to make more more money building other things they didnt care about the people they were making money but they want more more money, What i am trying to say that the cines should have a small section for some spanish movies and the rest in english , i know they would make a lot of money then before they had only english movies,all we are asking is a small section of the cine for spanish movies ,something to think about Mexico+California=Mexicali, I Love America,i think the reasen i am able to open my mind to other cultures is because i have been with women of different cultures some exsample i have been with Caucasian(white) women,Mexican Women,Asian Women,Black Women,Italian Women,Russian women and other, even some people have made fun of me an call me International Lation Lover i dont mind being called like that i even like it peace out .
