( OT) Fourth this weekend is...
Fahrenheit 9/11 http://www.boxofficeprophets.com/col...?columnID=8425 Fourth this weekend is Fahrenheit 9/11, Michael Moore’s anti-Bush documentary. Over the three-day portion of the Fourth of July weekend, Fahrenheit 9/11 grossed $16.2 million. This weekend Fahrenheit grossed $11 million, staying above the $10 million mark for the third straight weekend. The film was down an acceptable 32% - after Lions Gate added 286 venues to bring the overall count up to 2,011, the film had a venue average of $5,469, better than King Arthur. Fahrenheit 9/11 continues to be bounced around in the media, keeping it top-of-mind. Its detractors continue to help market the film - take for example R.L. Fridley who owns a small chain of theatres in Nebraska and Iowa. Mr. Fridley decided to censor Moore by not showing F9/11 in his theatres. However, by banning the film Fridley brought it back into the headlines, and probably ended up helping F9/11 more than he hurt it. Fahrenheit has now grossed $80.1 million, and should have no problem pulling in at least $115 million stateside. The film opened internationally this weekend, after having successful previews in the UK last weekend. FAHRENHEIT 9/11 Domestic Total as of Jul. 11, 2004: $80,090,000 (Estimate) Distributor: Lions Gate Release Date: June 23, 2004 Running Time: 1 hrs. 56 min. Production Budget: $6 million MPAA Rating: R Est. Marketing Costs: $10 million |

When Michael Moore's current movie is bringing in more money per screen than Jerry Bruckheimer's current movie, you know something unusual is happening. I certainly wouldn't argue that Moore is a more adept producer of fiction than Bruckheimer. |
