Well Fahrenheit 9/11 certainly didn't beat the record for second weekend take of $19,755 - by current estimates its took $12,985 per theater. However the number of theaters it was showing in had doubled to 1725 for a second weekend gross of over $22M and a gross to date of $61M. So that's pretty impressive - with double of the number of theaters and up against the competition of Hollywood blockbuster Spider-Man 2 it still managed to pull in 94% of its opening weekend gross. That seems to pour cold water on any argument that all the movie's supporters would have seen it on the first weekend and the second weekend would be a bust.
Even better, Fahrenheit 9/11 also managed to maintain its spot at #2 highest gross per theater on its opening weekend because Spider-Man 2 came in with a relatively weak showing of $21,266 per theater this weekend.
