2016: Obama’s America opened on one screen in Houston. Then it went to four screens. There were lines outside the doors. Then the movie opened in Nashville, Anchorage, Kalispell (a town in Montana), Dallas . . . Eventually, it was playing on more than 2,000 screens across America.
This movie is the fourth-highest-grossing documentary of all time. The No. 1 such movie is Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11. No. 2 is March of the Penguins, and No. 3 is a Justin Bieber movie. 2016, as you see, is the second-highest-grossing political documentary. It is ahead of the other Michael Moore movies, plus An Inconvenient Truth, the Al Gore film.
