From Fox News :
'Fahrenheit' Smash Hit in NYC
Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" broke all records yesterday in its premiere showing. Lincoln Plaza Cinemas manager Mohammed Alam told me last night that the film grossed a stunning $31,569 and all sixteen performances were sold out.
"From the beginning of the day until the end," Alam said, "I have never seen anything like it." Four shows for today are already sold out, and Alam expects a repeat performance.
Meantime, another bigger record was set downtown at the Village Cineplex 7, the only other theatre in the country playing "F9/11" before its national opening on Friday. The box office gross there was $48,000.
"It's a record," managing director Scott Rosenmann told me. "People have been crying and applauding at the end of shows. Some say they don't want to live in America anymore."
Rosenmann was keeping the theatre open all night last night, and even had tickets sold for the 2:30 a.m. show.
Me thinks that maybe we should all help these poor folks forced to live under the tyranny and oppression that the united states inflicts upon its citizens by sending them abroad. I figure we sit in on one of these showings, and if someone says they dont want to live here anymore, we chloroform them, bag them, and fed ex them to Iran.....
