Rethugs plan film festival to counter F911

From the Guardian:

After the film comes the film festival. The day after Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 was released in American cinemas, it was announced yesterday that a festival devoted to films debunking Moore's own work will be staged later this year in Texas.

The American Film Renaissance has the backing of 'some big-time conservative donors', according to its organisers, and will feature up to 10 films, among them Michael Moore Hates America - a so-called exposé of the director's working methods, by filmmaker Michael Wilson.

'We want everyone to see Michael Moore's film,' said festival founder Jim Hubbard, a lawyer based in Dallas. 'But we also want everyone in America to see Michael Moore Hates America. Conservatives complain about institutional bias in Hollywood. But they need to stop whining and get out there and produce.'

Does the right actually think they have any chance of even approaching the numbers of F911?  From the Sunday Herald:

The film was released in the States on Friday afternoon, and by Friday night it had taken an estimated $8 million at the box office. By tonight the figure will be somewhere near $20 million. Stephen Spielberg, who one imagines would know about such things, says it will eventually gross over $100 million.
