Fahrenheit 9/11 Box Office Reaches Top Ten of All Movies Ever
Fahrenheit 9/11 Box Office Reaches Top Ten of All Movies Ever
in spite of R-rating that many suggest was politically motivated and inappropriate, and storm trooper goons at the gates, with people being turned away from sold-out theaters, the movie was not only the number one documentary, but, but one major statistic, broke into the top ten listing of ALL movies.

1. I am really excited to see how it does next weekend
That will determine if more non-choir folks will see it. I keep telling everyone to see it.

5. It will stay in the top five. It will continue to break records and we
all get to help make it happen. Take a friend and then some. Spiderman or f911- hmmmm what a choice. Not. Take the kids to Spiderman and drag the parents with you to go along with the kids, just go see F911 while the kids see Spiderman. Then stand back and get out of the way. Fireworks on SUNDAY, the 4th of July.

2. Deceptive article title
F911 is doing great with real figures, I don't understand why this writer felt the need to introduce such a deceptive title, not supported by the actual figures in the article.

4. True, maybe the title is a typo or honest mistake though
I think they meant it made the top ten movies for the weekend gross only, because it is a long way from top ten movie ever in terms of Box Office, and frankly it isn't gonna come close to that.

6. F911 Is Expanding Nashville, Thanks To Regal
Two more large mall-area theatres in Music City start showing the film today. One of them is right next to Nashville's #1 tourist attraction: Opryland Hotel!

7. Michael Moore is going to be insanely rich after this.
Considering he financed so much of the movie himself.

He deserves it. God Bless Michael Moore, he just might have a significant hand in winning this election!

9. And he'll plow a lot of that money into more movies!
:bounce:

I hear his next one will take on the health care industry in this country! It couldn't happen to a better group of corporations.

10. Report I read said he was paid $6,000,000 w/ no share
of box office by Miramax. I think the success of F-9/11 means he'll have an open checkbook for his next project.
