Sorry, about the lame updates. We're on it... Anyways, here's an email from Alice Wu of Saving Face...

Last night, I took five of my mom's closest friends to dinner to thank them for their incredible support. These women have rallied friends, co-workers, children ("So-and-so's daughter has made a film, and you are going to see it! Study for finals later.") and slathered the Bay Area in posters. At one point, my Auntie Janet asked how the film was doing. "Really well," I said, "We had a second strong weekend at the box office and we're opening in more cities." She nodded sagely: "Never underestimate the power of the Chinese Mother Network."

How true that is.

So if you will indulge me, here is the latest round of openings for tomorrow JUNE 10. We stay in the same theaters in New York and San Diego, add a few in the San Fran Bay Area and LA (double-check your local listings for last minute changes), and open in SEATTLE, CHICAGO and BOSTON. If you don't mind, please let your people know (after stripping out my email header - thanks!)
