Please allow me to try to explain this again
Fahrenheit 911 is in a LIMITED RELEASE
It's is only playing in AMC theaters (released by Lion's Gate)- currently you can't see it anywhere else
That ensures a crowd that is going out of their way to be able to see the film
Also it creates more hype for the film due the audiences that aren't able to see the film at this time
Try to see it in a Lowe's, Muvico or other theater - YOU CAN'T
I can't get the weekend numbers yet but I expect the move not to even be in the top 5 grossing (money wise) - when your film gets it's butt kicked by dodge ball what does that say?

AMC is currently the largest movie theater chain in the nation, perched on buying out Loews.
Lionsgate is on of the largest independent film producers.
F9/11 grossed 22 mil in 3 days, audience of 3-4 million.
I dont see where the argument is, people went to see it, it made money at teh largest single set of theaters in the country. If this was shrek 2, would you argue the same argument?
