SiCKO - healthy takings

Michael Moore's "Sicko" looks pretty healthy heading into its first weekend of national release.
Pic opened a week early in Gotham alone and collected $70,000 from just one Upper West Side AMC/Loews screen over the frame, selling out all its shows.

Moviegoers were turned away at the scene, where Moore showed up Friday night unannounced to increase the hype and scalpers even popped up to try and hawk tickets to Moore fans for a premium.

Pic also sold out all its sneak preview shows in 43 locations on Saturday.
