The $20,000,000 Club

When I first debuted the $20 Million club last summer, I figured that I would have to update it whenever another high-grossing doc burst upon the scene. That moment has happened, with the cursed Bieber movie. As an amateur journalist, I could not ignore this event, unfortunately. The newest entry to the $20 Million club, the cinematic masterpiece: Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.

The $20 Million Club
1. Fahrenheit 9/11: $119,194,771 (2004)
2. March of the Penguins: $77,437,223 (2005)
3. Justin Bieber: Never Say Never: $72,754,535 (2011)
4. Earth: $32,011,576 (2009)
5. Sicko: $24,540,079 (2007)
6. An Inconvenient Truth: $24,146,161 (2006)
7. Bowling for Columbine: $21,576,018 (2002)

Some other new faces in the Top 20 Domestic Box Office: Waiting for "Superman," Babies, Oceans, and Capitalism: A Love Story. This list favors newer documentaries since there has been a surge of doc interest of late, and because of inflation, which I certainly did not account for.

Bieber's movie is still in the theaters, making money. Since I made the graph earlier today, its sales have gone up on Box Office Mojo by almost $3,000. Seeing as it happens to be the traditional tax day, I think I'm going to update this every April 15. That way, I won't have to break news when Bieber II comes out. I can't believe I've written Bieber this many times. I'm sorry.
