4. Isn't that close to the gross for the ENTIRE run of BFC?

How about predictions for the total when all's said and done? I'll go out on a limb with mine and say $125M. :)

5. Worldwide? More . . .much Moore!

I'm off to add my 2 cents - err - $7.00!!!!

[Systematic Chaos]

7. I was only talking domestically. U.S. ONLY.

If you wanna talk worldwide gross, I would think $300M would be NO problem at all.

8. He he

Im sure all the right wing think tanks are in a frenzy right now. This movie is doing everything we all predicted.

6. BfC's total gross was $21.2m

... and Bowling for Columbine also held the record for the highest grossing documentary. In three days, F9/11 has broken that record.

9. I have to admit I didn't think more than 15M was possible with

thatlow of a screen count. We are talking about eveyr showing every day all over the country being SOLD OUT to get that kind of revenue in 3 days. It is AWESOME!! Sold OUT here in Wichita KS, middle of the BIBLE Belt.

10. Our audience was PACKED. Honolulu Sat night 7 pm showing

People clapped. ovation, yells, and screams.

[sleipnir]

11. Great!! Of course the media won't report this

I doubt there will be much hullabaloo made over the fact that F9/11 is #1 at the Box.

[Nay]

12. Sold out in Richmond VA, capital of the Confederacy.

Ain't dis da SHIT??? I love it. Eat that, you bastards.

14. Pay close attention to per screen average. . .

. . .often times that is more telling than the overall B.O.

15. Welcome to the new battlefield, boys and girls

Fought with images and information, not bullets and bombs.

16. And now more theaters will show it!

Some will stick with their duty as the thought police, but others will recognize it for what it is - lost revenue.
