It is some fast moving fact filled anti-government and anti-establishment documentary after all! Whether you agree with the movie or not, it is a triumph of freedom of speech in United States and is an example to the whole world how democracies can work.

Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" took in a whopping $21.8 million in its first three days, becoming the first documentary ever to debut as Hollywood's top weekend film. If Sunday's estimates hold when final numbers are released Monday, "Fahrenheit 9/11" would set a record in a single weekend as the top-grossing documentary ever outside of concert films and movies made for huge-screen IMAX theaters. Adding the film's haul at two New York City theaters where it opened Wednesday, two days earlier than the rest of the country, boosted "Fahrenheit 9/11" to $21.96 million.

The movie tries to show how Bin Laden family was escorted out of US after 9/11 for their safety and well being! How the Saudis control 7% of US economy. How Saudis invested 1.8 billion dollars in Bush’s businesses directly or indirectly and enjoy special treatment from the administration. How the IRAQ war driven entirely for profit for Halliburtons and rest of greedy corporate America! How President Bush was slow in protecting US from Bin laden before 9/11. How Bush Administration used 9/11 to get patriot act enacted to curb civil liberties in US. How innocent Iraqis are mistreated, How the growing war of have mores and have nots in US is becoming a mainstream topic. How army recruiters in US “recruit” poor individuals from cities like Flint, Michigan luring young poor kids to die for the rich in Iraq and elsewhere. Our of more than 500 congressmen/congresswomen and senators in US, only one has his/her family member serving the army! When Michael Moore approached them for sending their own children, most of them ran for cover. The film shows how slow move of US army and marines in Afghanistan allowed Bin laden to escape and be never found again! How money and greed runs it all! 

Fahrenheit 9/11," Moore's assault on President Bush's actions after the 2001 terrorist attacks, won the top honor at last month's Cannes Film Festival and has attracted attention from both sides in the presidential campaign. The movie has been embraced by left-wing groups, which mobilized members to see it during the opening weekend. Conservative groups sought to discourage theaters from showing it and asked the Federal Election Commission to examine its ads for potential violations of campaign-finance law regulating when commercials may feature a presidential candidate. "I want to thank all the right-wing organizations out there who tried to stop the film, either from their harassment campaign that didn't work on the theater owners, or going to the FEC to get our ads removed from television, to all the things that have been said on television," Moore said. "It's only encouraged more people to go and see it." The Wayans brothers'' comedy "White Chicks," about two black FBI agents who go undercover as white debutantes, opened in second place with $19.6 million for the weekend. That pushed the total for "White Chicks" to $27.1 million since opening Wednesday. The previous weekend's No. 1 movie, "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story," slipped to third place, taking in $18.5 million and pushing its 10-day total to $67.2 million. Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks'' "The Terminal" fell from second to fourth place with $13.9 million, raising its 10-day gross to $41.8 million. Premiering in fifth place with $13 million was the tearjerker romance "The Notebook," featuring Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, James Garner and Gena Rowlands. Despite good reviews, the family film "Two Brothers," about tiger siblings separated in youth and reunited as opponents in the ring as grown cats, opened weakly at No. 9 with $6.2 million. "Fahrenheit 9/11" opened in 868 theaters, a wide release for a documentary but narrow compared to big Hollywood flicks. The film averaged $25,115 a theater, compared to $7,190 in 2,726 cinemas for "White Chicks." Distributors Lions Gate and IFC Films plan to put "Fahrenheit 9/11" into a couple of hundred more theaters this Wednesday, when competition heats up with the release of "Spider-Man 2," summer's most-anticipated movie. Lions Gate and IFC came on board after Disney refused to let subsidiary Miramax release "Fahrenheit 9/11" because of its political content. Miramax bosses Harvey and Bob Weinstein bought back the film and went looking for independent distributors.
