F911 Sets Records at Two NYC theaters

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Director Michael Moore's controversial documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" turned on the box office heat in its first day in theaters breaking single-day records at the two New York City theaters where it played. The movie, which aims a critical eye at President Bush and his prosecution of the war in Iraq, sold $49,000 worth of tickets at the Loew's Village 7 theater, beating the venue's single-day record of $43,435 held by 1997's "Men in Black," according to distributors Lions Gate Films and IFC Films.


At the Lincoln Plaza theater, "Fahrenheit 9/11" took in more than $30,000 to top the $24,013 set by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in 2000.

1. What I really want to see is AFTER next weekend. . .

not the total box office, but the PER SCREEN box office.

The right will try to use total box office to say how poorly Moore's film is doing, and ignore the fact that it's showing on less than 1/3 the screens that other films are.

Hell, it already exceed "White Chicks" sales by 1.5 million on less than 1/3 as many screens :).
