"The movie has transcended its genre," Harvey Weinstein told the Los Angeles Times. "It's playing like a 'movie', not a 'documentary,'" he said.

It's more like a Mockumentary,, a Smellodrama

Note to Michael Moore: Karma beats Dogma everytime. Too bad you bet on the latter.

The polemical film earned 23.9 million dollars at the box office in its North American debut...

Yes. And billions of flies cluster on cow pies each day.

Does Moore actually believe his 'film' will change anyones mind regarding the election? The only reason this 'film' grossed 22M were all the lefties flocking to the theater.

On a personal note, I have a friend happened to mention today how much she loves Michael Moore. I could not believe she could be so stupid. I knew she was a Democrat, and I'm sorry to say it, but my opinion of her has definitely lowered.

Once again, AFP just goes ahead and prints the press release. Easier that way.

This was an organized grass-roots effort to get people to the theaters on opening weekend. My sister in law, a liberal, was contacted by organizers here in Tulsa. (To her credit, she thinks he is full of $#!*, so she chose to skip it.

The real test will be how it does in the following weeks. I may eat my words, but I think we'll see a small turnout from here on out. They got their opening weekend publicity, which will drive a few curious folks to the theaters for this coming weekend. Unless he pulls some other stunt to get negative media attention (and free advertising as a result) I'd be surprised if this poor excuse for a "documentary" does any more really significant numbers at the box office.

In just three days, "Fahrenheit" smashed the 21.6-million-dollar-record for ticket sales for a documentary set over a nine-month run by Moore's Oscar-winning "Bowling for Columbine."

As Rush Limbaugh pointed out today, 21.6 million dollars translates to about 2.5 million viewers. Rush has 2.5 million listeners in any given 15 minute period and has maintained that number every day for 15 years. Anyone care to wager how many people will be buying tickets to FU911 in 15 years?

Okay, how about 15 days?

Hahahaa...

I think it was up against some movie called "White Chicks", and some other no-name movie I cannot recall.

This movie is going to flop as much as Kerry flips.

does the math add up? I don't normally follow show-biz so wouldn't know how they come to these figures, but it strikes me that the theatres where the flick DID open, at $10 a ticket, would have each (on average) had to have had 2752 paying viewers over the weekend?

OR is this something that will be corrected on Page D-34 of the newspapers in a few months, say, late November?

The Left have their documentary but we have ours, it was called "The Passion of Christ", anyone see it yet?

I don't think theirs will beat ours.

I’ve said all along, it will have a great two weeks, then the release of Spiderman 2 will wash it away. I predicted $30 million domestic, so I might have been $10 million under. Whatever. “The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas” made $46 million a couple of years ago.

Could it be that some of the liberal viewers will realize this scum bag lies and maybe it's time to question things. This F911 might just turn some liberals away from the CRATS.

The Weinsteins must be so proud to be presenting a movie that is loved by people who want to see them, and all Jews, dead.
