The prize-winning polemical "Fahrenheit 9/11" which savagely attacks US President George W. Bush for the war in Iraq has smashed box office records for a documentary in Britain.
The movie has taken 1.3 million pounds (2 million euros, 2.4 million dollars) since its release on Friday - the biggest opening weekend for a documentary.
Britain's previous highest opening weekend for a documentary was set by Moore's last film "Bowling for Columbine" which took 158,000 pounds in its first three days.
"Fahrenheit 9/11" now looks almost certain set to become Britain's highest grossing documentary, overtaking the record currently held by mountaineering film "Touching the Void", which took 2.58 million pounds.
