Fahrenheit's Film Profits To Go To Charity

Profits from [Michael Moore](https://www.contactmusic.com/michael-moore)'s controversial film FAHRENHEIT 9/11 will be donated to several charities.

Hollywood studio [Miramax](https://www.contactmusic.com/miramax)'s co-chairmen HARVEY and [Bob Weinstein](https://www.contactmusic.com/bob-weinstein) will share 40 per cent of the box-office revenue while the remaining 60 per cent will be donated to "worthy causes".

The Weinstein Brothers fell-out with parent company [Disney](https://www.contactmusic.com/disney), who initially forbade the release of the PALME D'OR-winning movie in May (04), but finally agreed to sell the film if the siblings earned no more than 40 per cent of the net profit - while the remaining 60 per cent will go to charities of Disney's choice.

The movie - which is staunchly critical of American President GEORGE W [Bush](https://www.contactmusic.com/bush)'s administration - has already taken more than $35 million (GBP19.4 million) in six days of release.
