The anti-war documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" has crossed the 100-million-dollar mark over the weekend, setting a new benchmark for nonficition Hollywood films, the Hollywood Reporter reported Monday.

"Fahrenheit 9/11," produced by Michael Moore, fell two places to No. 7 at North America box office with a take of 5 million US dollars, bringing its total earnings to 103.4 million.

The film had long ago beaten the 21.6 million record for a documentary in regular release, held by Moore's Oscar-winning "Bowling For Columbine."

Moore, who created the film with an aim to defeating US President George W. Bush 's reelection bid, said he will attend the Democratic Convention Monday at the invitation of the Congressional Black Caucus.

The film is expected to keep showing in theaters until the November election. Moore had said that he hoped the DVD would be released by October, but no date has been set.

"Fahrenheit 9/11" created controversy in election year because of its strong criticism of Bush's handling of the Sept. 11 terror attacks in 2001, Bush family's dubious relations with No. 1 Saudi terrorist Bin Laden's family and Bush's oil-motivated launching of the Iraqi war.

Moore even had a hard time looking for a distributor for the film after Walter Disney Co. refused to let its affiliated Miramax Films to distribute the documentary. Lions Gate, IFC Films and Harvey and Bob Weinstein's Fellowship Adventure Group late became the distributor of the film.

Commenting on Disney CEO Michael Eisner's refusal to distribute the film, Moore pointed out that it has now grossed more than any Disney film this year.

"I don't even know how to respond to that," he said. "I think his stockholders may wonder what his fiduciary responsibility is at this point."

Moore added that his film's success has not only charged the voting public to get energized about politics, but it has proved to exhibitors that there is an audience for documentaries.

"Now the challenge is on myself and other filmmakers to continue making things for this audience," Moore was quoted as saying.
