Grand Opening

Luck changes for Pablo Mercado (Anthony Ruiz) when he's fired from his job as an assistant grocery store manager and buys a winning lottery ticket on his way out. Now, he's got enough extra cash to start the supermarket he's always dreamed of -- the aptly named El Oso Grande, or "The Big Bear." But to make his dreams come true, he'll have to go to war with his former employer … and his greedy ex-wife (Aida Agotti).

Directed by Eddy Duran, Grand Opening leans on a strong ensemble — Anthony Ruiz, Aida Angotti, Onix Duran — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2005.
