868

I was hedging when I wrote this:

It is my firm belief that if the movie opens on enough screens nationwide that it will be the #1 movie in the country on the weekend it opens.

Any attempt to block the showing of this movie is not only un-American it is also a short-sighted and naive business decision.

I knew that Fahrenheit 9/11 was going to have a limited release its opening weekend. I wasn't sure that with a limited release the movie could open at #1. Well, turns out that 868 screens was more than enough.

A few people got educated and a few people made some money. Not a bad weekend if you're in either of those groups.
