BURN, BABY, BURN: Michael Moore's incendiary Fahrenheit 9/11 becoming the first documentary to win the weekend box office, raking in $23.9 million between Friday and Sunday in final tallies. The film averaged more than $27,000 per its 868 theaters.


DUMBO'S IN CHARGE? Meanwhile, Variety reporting that Disney may be in hot water from shareholders for passing up millions by distributing Fahrenheit in favor of screening a patriotic documentary, America's Heart and Soul, backed by Move America Forward, a right-wing group that tried to censor Moore's film. The filmmaker criticized the timing of the screening.
