What happens when politics takes a starring role

Michael Moore’s latest documentary, "Fahrenheit 11/9" opened over the weekend at about 1,700 theaters nationwide. It was an unusually wide release for a documentary, suggesting hopes for a hit much like Moore's 2004 "Fahrenheit 9/11," a scathing take on the George W. Bush administration after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001. Some films become political by accident. Take "RBG," the story of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. “The political landscape, #MeToo, Time’s Up — all of those events make Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s life story that much more interesting to people,” West explained. The movie grossed $14 million at the box office and made Ginsburg a kind of cult figure. Here’s a list of some of the most popular documentaries and movies based on box office numbers.
