Reuters.com: Box Office Tally Climbs for 'Fahrenheit 9/11'

Entertainment News Article | Reuters.com: "LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Box-office fever for Michael Moore's searing anti-Bush documentary 'Fahrenheit 9/11' climbed a bit higher on Monday as distributors touted record-breaking ticket sales about $2 million more than first reported.
According to a final tally of weekend receipts, Moore's critique of President Bush and his policies since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on America grossed $23.9 million during its first three days of release across the United States and Canada.
That made it No. 1 at the box office and surpassed the $21.5 million generated by Moore's previous film, the Oscar-winning 'Bowling for Columbine,' as the highest-grossing documentary ever.
All told, the movie's total stood at just over $24 million counting the head-start it received on Wednesday in two Manhattan theaters, generating extra media buzz before expanding to a relatively modest 868 theaters two days later.
Previous tallies reported Sunday had Moore's film grossing $21.8 million since Friday. "
