Abstract: We prove the following generalization of the Cartwright-Littlewood fixed point theorem. Suppose $hcolon{mathbbR}^{2}o{mathbbR}^2$ is an orientation preserving planar homeomorphism, and $X$ is an acyclic continuum. Let $C$ be a component of $Xcaph(X)$. If there is a $cinC$ such that ${mathcalO}_{+}(c)subseteqC$ or ${mathcalO}_{-}(c)subseteqC$ then $C$ also contains a fixed point of $h$. Our result also generalizes earlier results of Ostrovski and Boro'nski, and answers the Question from Boro'nski's work in 2017. The proof is inspired by a short proof of the result of Cartwright and Littlewood due to Hamilton.
