The weekend totals for Fahrenheit 9-11 have been raised to $23.9M from $21.8M, making this film even more of a blockbuster.
Studio executives and box office analysts are asking themselves that question after Michael Moore's documentary stunned Hollywood with a $23.9 million take last weekend.That number is more than $2 million higher than distributor Lions Gate Films predicted Sunday, prompting speculation that the movie could be the first to earn the title "blockbuster documentary."
"I'm going to say this guardedly, but this has the potential to be the first $100 million documentary," says Paul Dergarabedian of box office tracker Exhibitor Relations.
