If you have a comment to make that is anything other than raw profit numbers, prints, screen count, etc that could be construed as political...don't make it. Same goes for any newslink that can be taken as political commentary. Anyone want to make some predictions as to how much longer this thread will remain open before someone comes on here pushing his political babble?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-25-2004 07:39 PM                        Not long. People can't help themselves. Some might get political just so that this thread (and other Fahrenheit threads) are closed, because they don't like seeing the film discussed in any matter. Hopefully I am wrong, though.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-25-2004 07:48 PM                  quote: Brad Miller Anyone want to make some predictions as to how much longer this thread will remain open...

Cohen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 975 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 06-25-2004 07:49 PM                     As of Friday, June 25th, Fahrenheit 911 is being shown in 15 theatres in the five counties of New York City, fourteen in Nassau and Suffolk counties, and thirty-three in New Jersey. At the Kew Gardens Cinema, all shows were sold out on both screens. I bought my tickets two days in advance by telephone. At the 4:30 showing, all seats were filled wall-to wall, even in the first row.

First show half full, second show 2/3 full, 7:00 show SOLD OUT, and as of 8:15 the 9:50 about 1/3 full. While I still think the original prediction of $350 million is far too high this movie is going to much better than most people were expecting. I can easily see $100 million plus and for a documentary that is just astronomical.  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 06-25-2004 09:31 PM                     It is playing in 4 AMC's in the Tampa Bay Area.  |  IP: Logged Kamakshipalya Dhananjay Expert Film Handler Posts: 190 From: Bangalore, India Registered: Aug 2002 posted 06-26-2004 07:08 AM                     Friday numbers anywhere ?  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 06-26-2004 07:24 AM                        We made about $350 million. You were right.  |  IP: Logged Gracia L. Babbidge Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 709 From: Bowdoin, Maine Registered: Aug 2000 posted 06-26-2004 11:22 AM                        With Fahrenheit 9-11 yesterday, we had all five shows sold out! ...ok ok, we can only seat 100, but still... In fact, the 7:15 sold out via advance sales on Thursday, and the other 4 shows were sold out by about 2:30 yesterday. Yup, we had plenty of advance sales being done for shows today, tomorrow, and even into the next week!  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-26-2004 11:40 AM                     A group of friends and I went to see it yesterday, 6:45 show at the Universal. We arrived around 5:30, because 4 of us had tickets and 2 didn't. SOLD OUT! At the last minute, I guess they decided to interlock because they removed the Sold Out sign, and the other two people in our group got tickets, but for the neighboring auditorium. We all sat together in the same one anyway. Every seat was full in our auditorium except maybe 5 or so way up front by the corners of the screen. When leaving, I noticed they added more showtimes to the board: 6:45, 6:46, 9:20, 9:21, 11:55 and 11:56 --- all sold out, though. A glance at Fandango also shows the local Regal interlocking. Something tells me this should have had a bigger print run. =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 06-26-2004 12:01 PM                        For KD, Box Office Mojo reports an estimate of $8,358,000 ($9,447 per screen average) USD for Friday's 868 screen opening. These are estimates. The real numbers will come out Monday afternoon.  |  IP: Logged Scott D.

I was thinkin it might've just been some crazy California Hippie thing, but apparently people from across the land want to see what Michael Moore has to say this time.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-26-2004 02:24 PM                        This is probably drawing a lot of the same people who went to "The Last Temptation of Christ" just because of the controversy. Everyone wants to be "in the loop." I don't like Mr. Moore, but I find myself wanting to see the film just so I can discuss it with people.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-27-2004 01:51 AM                     As an adendum to my earlier post we esperienced a 25% drop in business on Saturday as compared to Sunday.  |  IP: Logged Mike Williams Master Film Handler Posts: 255 From: Knoxville, TN Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-27-2004 05:53 PM                     The Drudge Report is currently headlining that it has grossed $21M.  |  IP: Logged
