John Sayles’ new film Amigo is opening this weekend in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Nothing unusual there. But, in the San Francisco Bay Area, a Sayles film would usually open in the San Francisco, San Jose and Berkeley art houses. Instead, Amigo, a historical drama set in the Phillipines, is opening at mall multiplexes in Milpitas and southwestern San Francisco. Why? It can’t be a coincidence that these theaters are most accesible to the thriving Filipino communities in Milpitas and northern San Mateo County.
