Just how much did « Fahrenheit 9/11 » take in over the weekend? $21.8 million, though it opened on just 868 screens. What does that mean? It means it was the No. 1 movie in America this weekend, the first documentary ever not only to be a weekend top grosser but also to land in the weekend top five, the highest opening-weekend grosser of all Cannes Film Festival Palme d’Or winners, and the highest-grossing documentary of all time (excluding concert films and such).
