From Sand Spring Advisors LLC:

I saw Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 Friday evening. The line for the movie was long and the theatre completely full by show time. The film has been attracting packed audiences across the nation this weekend, with one theatre in New York City so overwhelmed with demand that it elected to show the movie 24-hours a day.
The audience reaction at the end of the specific showing that I saw was most clear. There was very active applause.
The movie does of course present a slightly conspiratorial and slanted view of the Bush-Bin Laden-Saudi-Iraq saga, but it rings true with just enough substance to make George W. Bush look like a myopic fool and idiot. Sitting with Florida school children for multiple minutes even after the second plane hit the World Trade Center seemed the most icredulous piece of stupidity on Bush’s part. Being on vacation for 42% of the days before 9/11 was almost as bad.
As shown in initial rankings by viewers posted on the Internet Movie Database (www.IMDB.com), the large majority of viewers (62%) gave the movie their highest rank of 10.
Yet in a highly non-normalized and non-leptikurtic manner, 31.3% gave it a rank of only 1 or 2.
This dramatic split represents a clear ongoing bifurcation of American political opinion -- interestingly enough divided by almost perfect Fibonacci Golden Ratio harmony.
The 62% majority who loved the movie also clearly represents the beginning of the end of Mr. Bush’s presidency. By this Sunday’s Evening News, when weekend box office sales are initially reported, we expect Fahrenheit 9/11 to have racked up record ticket sales that will rival any blockbuster Hollywood release -- even though it only appeared in 868 theatres which is tiny by typical Hollywood standards. We clearly expect the media to be further abuzz next week with commentary like: “The first Hollywood release of a documentary that appears to be impacting Presidential election sentiment in real time.”
