Since 1982, there have been only 14 documentaries that have opened on more than 1,000 screens. And the vast majority of them were DisneyNature docs or music documentaries like Michael Jackson’s This Is It or Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. Before yesterday, the only three exceptions were Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (1,052 in 2008), Believe (1,037 theaters in 2013) and Death of a Nation (1,005 theaters in 2018). None of those three opened with more than $3 million on their respective opening weekends and none made it past $7.7m. So, in that sense, it’s no surprise that Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 11/9 tanked in its whopping 1,719 theater wide release debut.
