Herald Sun: Fahrenheit's breaking records [19jul04]: "FILMAKER Michael Moore's controversial documentary feature Fahrenheit 9/11 has broken box office records in Australia - and it hasn't even opened yet.

Sneak previews of the hit documentary, which won the top prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival and has broken box office records in the US and UK, grossed $760,000 in Australian cinemas over the weekend.

"Its incredible," Sydney's Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace general manager Paul Dravet said.

"I am just so surprised by the diversity of the audience, from kids to older adults absolutely incredible.

"We have had sold out sessions and queueing problems all weekend and every single session is getting rapturous applause."
