Disney — cash-strapped and slumping — made an enormous mistake when it declined to distribute Moore’s latest blockbuster, Fahrenheit 911.
Michael Moore’s headline grabbing documentary, “Fahrenheit 9/11,” which Disney declined to distribute, grossed more than $80 million in its first three weeks of release, more than any Disney film this year and any documentary ever.
“It’s held up fairly well,” said Andy Spencer, a ’96 graduate who works at Raleigh’s Rialto theater. “It was two weeks straight of either sellouts or virtual sellouts.”
