Tidbit from a local theater manager on F9/11:
"This thing's going to run until Election Day," said Hugh Wronski, manager of the Lagoon Theater in Minneapolis' Uptown neighborhood, where it was showing on three screens. "The timing couldn't be better, politically."
He marveled at the approximately 100 patrons who had lined up on the sidewalk when the box office opened at 11:30 a.m., in addition to "thousands and thousands" of advance tickets already sold online.
He had this to say about the right-wing attempts to squelch the film:
"It was all over these right-wing Web sites, and when I got back from a vacation, I had 5,000 e-mails in my box," Wronski said. "It was horrible. Funny thing was, though, the supporters [of Moore's film] outnumbered the opponents by about three to one."
Funny? It's hilarious!
