Other Crap

The Michael Moore documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 has achieved record-breaking single day grosses at both Manhattan's Loew's Village 7 theater and Manhattan's Lincoln Plaza theater, the two theaters at which it opened today. These are not limited records which match it against documentaries and art films, but the all time record against all films. For example, the previous recordholder at Loew's was Men in Black. Understand that part of the reason is that we are talking about liberal-friendly Manhattan, and another part is that there are only two theaters showing the film in a very large city. But the record still counts.
