Good Hair, the Chris Rock-driven exploration into the African-American community's longtime fixation on all things tonsorial, opened at $1,117,000-an impressive per-screen average of over $6,000. For the record, Jeff Stilson directed that Rock doc, just as Davis Guggenheim helmed what was annoyingly referred to as "that Al Gore documentary." And the latest Davis Guggenheim documentary, It Might Get Loud, is showing signs of slowing in its second month of release, picking up a little over $100,000 in the past week as it creeps up on Every Little Step and Valentino: The Last Emperor. 

And the Michael Moore juggernaut continues to surge. Right now, only Earth stands in the way. Of course, there's that other Michael, who, in a scant two-week-long theatrical run starting October 28, might well surpass both Earth and Capitalism. No mean feat for The dearly departed Gloved One.
