These "American Sniper" box office tallies are "Avatar"-sized numbers. Has made $200m in ten days. After $100m open, fell only 28%. WOW.

Notably, “American Sniper” is doing particularly well for a film with an “R” rating. As well as that other flick hated by libs, Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ”:

From a reporter: Only 2 films about the Iraq War have had a U.S. box office of over $100 million: American Sniper and Fahrenheit 9/11. Hmmm.

— Michael Moore (@MMFlint) January 26, 2015

“Fahrenheit 9/11” took in about $120 million at the box office, while “American Sniper” is already at over $200 million, and counting.

Welcome to No. 2 on the list, Mr. Moore.
