what's scary is not so much that it is #1, but that it is #1 with only 868 theaters (as opposed to 2726 for White Chicks). That means Fahrenheit is outselling by over 3-1 on a per screen basis.
I hate to think if we were living in the 1940's how we would be able to defeat Germany and Japan.
Well, the estimate is $9,447 per screen for Fahrenheit 9/11 versus $2,480 for White Chicks. That $9,447 is actually pretty huge. To put it in perspective, if that same ratio were for a wide-release blockbuster, it'd make around $104 million for the weekend.
It's best not to underestimate the mob of rabid liberals in America..
Does this really mean each of the 868 theaters had 10,000 paid attendees to this movie, last night..SUUURRRRE. They must have needed to hire crowd control
