Ok, some perspective now that the weekend is over regarding F911
This is mostly for our lurking visitors, Freepers and others.

F911 was only distributed in just under 900 (approximate) theatres nationwide. It was number 1 at the box office, outpacing Shrek, Dodgeball etc. These movies and the others competing for ticket sales were released in 3-4 times the number of theatres as F911. By mathematical probability, they should have buried F911 in ticket sales through sheer number of venues alone. This did not happen.

Many, many people went to see F911. So many so that it out sold the other movies 3-4 to 1.

For a documentary to do this is unprecedented.

Expect the film to go to a larger audience now.

Expect the DVD way sooner than normal.

You can cry, bitch, whine, snivel and complain all you want, but nothing changes the facts of what occured and what will continue to happen regarding this film.

Get over it and get used to it.

2. $21.9 Million In 868 Theaters Nationwide
With Sunday's figures to be calculated by this afternoon.

The best part is that Moore gathered up the "news" by Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC and compiled it using Dimbo's own words.

"Get over it!!"

3. What's more, and this is delicious,
This is bound to evoke some reaction by the right, and NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO, it can only help Michael Moore.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
