Capitalism Works for Michael Moore!

Filmmaker's latest doc opens huge in limited release; Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs stays No. 1 at weekend box office

The nation's financial meltdown proved a gold mine for Michael Moore.

Capitalism: A Love Story, Moore's latest him-versus-them adventure, was a bottom-line success in very limited release, grossing more money at each of its theaters than any film this weekend. Or this year.

Overall, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs remained No. 1, with an estimated $24.6 million, thanks to remarkable staying power—and the unremarkable debuts of Surrogates ($15 million) and Fame ($10 million).
