I think the impact of “Fahrenheit 9/11″ on “Sicko” will be positive because people will remember how entertaining “Fahrenheit” was even if they didn’t agree with what it was saying. Therefore, people will be interested in seeing “Sicko” just to see what it has to say. Plus, “Sicko” is not a political piece as “Fahrenheit” was. It’s more of a social commentary. This also goes for the Red States. The health care situation in the U.S. connects with both Red and Blue States, so I expect all to check it out. However, I don’t think it will make the same amount at the box office ($119 million). I expect more it to perform more in the $70 million range.

I agree that this will probably be a case of “any publicity is good publicity”. After the failure of Grindhouse at the box office - the Weinstein Co. needs a big hit. How Sicko performs will be an interesting story. How much will Fahrenheit 9/11 affect Sicko? Both Moore’s fan base and “red state” backlash.
