It's setting records at the box office

 

With $21.958 million in the till since its record-breaking debut in New York City on Wednesday, Fahrenheit 9/11 is already the highest grossing documentary of all time -- excluding large format, concert and other non-"apples-to-apples" sub-genres – surpassing Moore's own Bowling for Columbine's $21.6 million lifetime gross.

 

Fahrenheit is also the first documentary to land in the weekend top five, let alone be No. 1. Its opening topped Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction's $9.3 million as the best ever for a Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or winner, and it was Tarantino's jury that handed Moore the prize this year.

 

Though Fahrenheit's $25,115 per theater average is extraordinary, it's not unprecedented. It ranks as the seventh highest all time for a wide release (adjusting for ticket price inflation knocks it down to no. 28) and the third best this year behind The Passion of the Christ's $27,554 and Shrek 2's $25,951.

If it comes out here, absolutely. I saw a lil preview on the TV, with George Dubya teeing off on the golf course. :lol:

I would like to see it, but I will not pay to see it, because I don't want Michael Moore to make a single cent off of me.

Same with me. I’ll just probably wait till the film is out on dvd.

I plan to see it.

I like Moore's style of film-making, and I realize his biases going in.

Not making any sweeping political statement either way, just saying that he has preconceptions like anyone else, and I'm going to treat the movie as entertainment and not as a news program ( even though most news programs have some sort of agenda these days as well ).

All documentaries are trying to prove a point from a biased point of view.
