Fahrenheit 9/11 Update

Still glomming headlines even on Spiderman 2's weekend. Looking good.
The film had a record-breaking $23.9 million opening weekend two weeks ago, making it the top-grossing documentary ever. And Monday, it was the second most-requested film on Moviefone's nationwide movie-planning Web site, behind Spider-Man 2. The film's total take so far is $60 million, according to studio estimates, and analysts are saying Fahrenheit might well become the first documentary to take in more than $100 million.

Moore says his film topped the box office charts in every state that voted for Bush in 2000. The DVD is expected to arrive in late September from Sony.
