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.
