And now look at Moore passing the Concert Movies....

Fahrenheit 9/11 tops $100 M mark



LOS ANGELES -- What do Shrek, Spider-Man, Michael Moore and Harry Potter have in common? They all produced $100 million US hits this summer. Moore's condemnation of U.S. President George W. Bush's actions regarding the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 had a weekend haul of $5 million to lift its total to $103.35 million since opening in late June.

The previous best domestic gross for a feature-length documentary was $21.6 million for Moore's Academy Award-winning Bowling for Columbine. That film took nine months to hit that level, while Fahrenheit 9/11 did more business, $23.9 million, in just its first weekend.

The polarizing effects of Sept. 11 and its aftermath have boosted the public's appetite for political documentaries, Moore said.

"It's really cool now to talk about politics, and this is the first time I've seen this happen in decades, really," Moore said Sunday. "Being apathetic right now is very uncool."

The real effect of Fahrenheit 9/11 will be to encourage Americans normally disinterested in politics to participate this fall, Moore said.

"I believe the film is going to bring hundreds of thousands of people to the polls who otherwise were not going to vote. I think it's going to have a tremendous impact in that way."
