Let's Make Water For Elephants the Number One Movie This Weekend!
Make sure to go and see this beautiful movie and support Rob this weekend. The first weekend sales are always important and Robowski definitely deserves multiple viewings :)
As for spoilers, please keep the discussions to this thread and put a ---SPOILER--- alert ; before your comment so peeps can avoid it if they'd like to.
We posted about Remember Me Saturday before but if you don't know the marvelous fan movement here it is in a nutshell: If you went to see the movie yesterday we want you to GO AGAIN TODAY
Take your friends to see it not because Rob is in it but because it's been getting great reviews and is a GOOD movie! If your theater isn't playing Remember Me call them and tell them about it! Ask them politely that you and TONS of lusty women would LOVE to see it :) Let's make Remember Me a box office hit together. Let's put our money where our love/lust/heart is :) You can buy your tickets HERE and do something for Robert Pattinson! *fist in the air!*
Our affiliates and good friends at Robert Pattinson Australia arranged a special screening of Little Ashes in Australia! So exciting! I wish I had the chance to see Little Ashes on the big screen...Robvador belongs on the big screen :) Please show your support by attending the movie, show cinemas how much we want to see Robert Pattinson movies! Come on Oz! Yes We Can! *fist in the air!* :)
Here's what Maria from RP Australia says:
Well I can honestly say I’ve been waiting for this day for a very long time. Sydney please show your support of Rob by coming along to this special screening of Little Ashes at The Ritz Cinema, Randwick at 7.30 pm on Wednesday 9 December 2009. This is the first time Little Ashes has been screened in Australia. The Ritz have put a lot of faith in RPAU so I’m counting on you to show them how much we want to see Rob’s indie films. Seriously if you haven’t seen Robert Pattinson’s portrayal of Salvador Dali, then I can’t urge you enough to come along - you will not be disappointed. Even if you have seen it, as I have countless times, there is nothing like seeing Rob on the big screen. Tickets can be purchased at the box office or online by simplying clicking HERE. And if you are having problems buying online then just give the Ritz a call. I know I’ve already bought my tickets. Thanks also to Tamara at Kojo Pictures for the faith!
Classification is MA15+ which means if you are under 15 you must be accompanied by parent or guardian.
It's a fan movement. We provided a list of theaters(HERE) including the theaters that are already scheduled to play Little Ashes. If it's not playing at a theater near you you need to call and request Little Ashes from the theater listed. If we do not have a theater listed for you then leave us a comment with the name and number of the theater and we'll update the list the next day.
It's as simple as that. We made it happen at a lot of theaters in US. Theaters left us messages saying "okay don't call anymore we ARE scheduling the movie" :)
YOU can make it happen. If there is a number we've listed in your area call and ask them if they will be showing Little Ashes, if they say no then politely ask them to look into it since it's a great movie with Robert Pattinson and you and tons of other people would really love to see it.
As of today we have Australia, Austria, Canada,Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Singapore, Sweden, United Kingdom and United States on our list!
How do I know if the theaters on your list is showing Little Ashes or if it's a request line?
Unless there is a SCORE next to the movie theater or you see your theater on the Little Ashes Schedule page the number and theater listed is not playing Little Ashes. It's a theater that we've listed so you and other fans can call and request the movie :)
Is it only for US?
No. We now have Australia, Austria, Canada,Germany, India, Ireland, Mexico, Norway, Singapore, Sweden, United Kingdom and United States on our list!
A big thanks to cinnamon_toast_crunch from imdb for all her work on this! She is truly awesome!
Oh man! Real life got in the way of my Little Ashes Movement and it sucks! I'll try to update this more often from now on :)) If you have sent ANY information in the past 2 weeks please re-send them. I have 6402 emails in my inbox and I don't think I can fish the Little Ashes news out :)) THANK YOU for all the support towards Little Ashes. Thanks for all the calls and emails. Please keep them going! Fans made a HUGE difference in the distribution of this movie and we can make it happen in places that did not see the light yet! Just focus on the end game. Robvador on big screeen :)

The Little Ashes Official Site lists the OPENING DATE of a week-long theatrical run. These are not one night screenings as many posts are indicating.
Unless noted otherwise, or listed under “Events,” these are week-long theatrical runs.
Of course, it should be noted that theaters base their decision to hold a movie longer than the first week entirely on their business for Friday and Saturday, so it’s always important to support an independent film on its opening weekend. There are too many films competing for screen space and those who say “we’ll catch it next weekend” are often disappointed.
Thank you for your incredible support and belief in this movie.
I wanted to share this comment from Alayne because I think it represents the love and dedication people have for Rob and his work. It shows why Little Ashes Movement worked. Maybe it's the birthday blues, maybe it's waking up to a love fest by all of you but I was really touched and had tears when I read it. (Thanks for all the BDay wishes;))
I am not encouraging you to follow Alayne's advice nor am I discouraging. I am however encouraging all of you to go to the cinemas tomorrow, Saturday or Sunday to see Little Ashes, I wish I could ;)
Here is Alayne's message unedited ;)
GODZE (love your blog), I would love your opinion and the opinion of the wonderful ROBsessors on this thought I have. I live in Wilmington NC and Little Ashes is not playing this weekend anywhere even close to where I live but I want to support the movie, especially on this opening weekend. So I was thinking of purchasing tickets to a showing, via Fandango, at a theater that is showing it in another state. Obviously I won't be able to use the tickets but atleast my purchase of the tickets would go towards the opening weekend "stats". I am just concerned that my purchasing the tickets would keep someone else from seeing the movie (if it sells out). I thought of purchasing the tickets last minute to either a early matine or really late night showing.... what do you think. I really want to support this movie and Rob and am so frustrated that I can't do it locally.
Also, it is driving me crazy as I look at what is playing at any theater within 400 miles of my home this weekend to try and find Little Ashes and I keep seeing 17 Again and Hannah Montana ARGGGHHH... makes me want to rip my eyes out... hehe
Any opinions and thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

The movie is playing in lots of theaters now, thanks to YOU, check out the list (HERE) to see if it's playing near you. We need those theaters PACKED on the release day and that weekend! How the movie does on its first weekend is extremely important as it will be the deciding factor for other theaters to acquire the movie :) Since you are all ROBsessed I probably don't need to sell you the movie but if you have any doubts check out Little Ashes Videos :)
YES WE CAN

Your calls made a lot of theaters change their minds and get Little Ashes to play at their theaters and here is the Thank You posted on Little Ashes site :))
Due to a family emergency I can not update the site today but I had to pop in because the Little Ashes Movement is SO close to my heart and I can't let 1 day go without a post. My fabulous partner Dani will be on everything about Rob but until then...
We also have a release date for San Juan, Puerto Rico, 07/09/2009! The theater is to be determined :)
After the clips that were released today I don't know about you but I can not wait to see this movie. You know we can make it happen! Keep calling guys :)) YES WE CAN!
A message from Paul Morrison, Director of Little Ashes:
Some of the theaters listed on our Little Ashes Movement told the callers that they would decide on getting the movie depending on how it does in other theaters. Let's make it happen people! Show them an R rated Rob movie will do well! :) Robvador for the win! :)
We need the help of our UK readers. We have only 4 theaters in our "to call" list. Please send us more local theater names, we'll update the list and start the assault on their phone lines :)
Here is a video Maria sent us. It is from a Spanish TV channel and is in...wait for it...Spanish :)
She said: Apparently it aired on october in a newscast. At the beginning it's talking about the scene in which Lorca meets Dali at the student's residence, which happened in real life. Then it says that the movie gives us an inside look on the complex and intense relationship between these three geniuses of the Spanish culture. Then it shows Javier Beltran talking about how with this movie they tried to show something more than just the myths and legends about these characters, and show how they really were. In the end it just talks about some photographs of Buñuel being shown at the festival of Valladolid, where the movie was first screened in Spain.
Jorja tells us that the Los Angeles - Landmark Regent Theater says they are going to decide on whether or not to show the movie today! We've previously listed it as a SCORE, I don't know what made them change it, please call Jeremy Willis 626-799-1824 and tell them you'd like to see the movie there if you live in the area! This is important. We can make it happen! Please call...
There is an addition to the screenings in Missouri! Please check the Little Ashes page for all of the confirmed screenings. You can also check out Little Ashes Movement page for the numbers to request the movie in your area :)
We don't tag the pictures because it takes away from Rob's gorgeousness, please credit if you take them ;)
The money from donations will be used towards purchases for the blog. Not a single dime will go into our pockets :) Help us bring you better content/pictures by donating. Every little bit helps!
