Michael Moore's controversial film Fahrenheit 9/11 has broken box office records in the UK.
The movie has taken £1.3 million since its release on Friday - the biggest opening weekend for a documentary.
It now looks set to become the UK's highest grossing documentary.
The record is currently held by mountaineering film Touching the Void, which
took £2.58 million.
In the United States, Fahrenheit 9/11 became the first documentary to top the box office and has taken 80 million dollars (£45m) so far.
Here, it opened on 132 screens and has been greeted by standing ovations from cinema-goers.
The UK's previous highest opening weekend for a documentary was set by Moore's last film, Bowling for Columbine, which took £158,000 in its first three days.
Fahrenheit 9/11 has also scored the highest opener for a Palme d'Or winner, beating Pulp Fiction at £705,000.
Moore's film is a scathing attack on the Bush administration and the war in Iraq.
He portrays President Bush as a bumbling incompetent who, prior to September 11, spent almost as much time on holiday as he did on running the country.
The film accuses Bush of using the September 11 attacks to justify going to war with Iraq.
Moore claims the real reason for going to war was oil.
He exposes links between the Bush dynasty and the Saudi royal family.
The maverick film-maker hopes Fahrenheit 9/11 will lose Bush the presidential election in November.
Critical reaction has been largely positive but some have been scathing about its partisan content.
