Infoshop News - Fahrenheit 9/11 crosses $100 million mark : Sunday Conference Call

Infoshop News - Fahrenheit 9/11 crosses $100 million mark: "Michael Moore took the unusual step of hosting a Sunday morning conference call to trumpet the $100 million milestone crossed by 'Fahrenheit 9/11.'
As the dozen or so journos checked in to the call, he helpfully suggested, 'While we're waiting, can everyone please sing their favorite Linda Ronstadt (news) song?'
While 'Fahrenheit' is the first doc ever to cross this threshold, Moore also used the occasion to thump the underperforming slate at Walt Disney Co., which blocked subsidiary Miramax from distributing the scathing critique of President Bush.
Asked if he was surprised by the doc's box office results, Moore responded, 'If you had told me when we were going through all the pre-distribution problems with Disney that this film would gross more than any other Disney film this year, I don't even know how to respond to that.'
Noting Disney chief Michael Eisner gave the pic a favorable review during an Aspen business conference last week -- 'I thought it was like going to a rock concert. I loved it, but not in a political (sense),' Eisner said -- Moore added, 'I'm glad Mr. Eisner has said he liked the film, but I would think that his stockholders might wonder what his fiduciary responsibilities are to them at this point.'
Disney reps had no immediate response to Moore's comments. "
