Number #1

'Fahrenheit 9/11' is this first documentary ever to be the number 1 movie at the box office. The movie brought in 21.8 million over its first 3 days and beat all other major studio films. This is even more amazing when you consider that it open on 868 screens. CNN reports "Fahrenheit 9/11" opened in 868 theaters, a wide release for a documentary but narrow compared to big Hollywood flicks. The film averaged $25,115 a theater, compared to $7,190 in 2,726 cinemas for "White Chicks." 9/11 is also now the largest grossing documentary ever. It has already beat the previous number 1 "Bowling for Columbine". Looks like Moore won this battle with the right wing and Disney.
