Fahrenheit 911 takes $5m in first week (Australia)

[Robbien]

Kristie's top five

1. Fahrenheit 9/11 (M): Racking up almost $5 million at the box office in a movie's first week of release in Australia is usually no mean feat; but it's an even greater feat when it's a documentary and you're only playing on 116 screens. Michael Moore's much-talked about film about September 11, George W. Bush and the war in Iraq looks set to create a few box office records of its own in this country, following its stunning performance in the US and victory at the Cannes Film Festival.
