Amy Winehouse documentary breaks Irish box office records

The new documentary Amy about the life and times of singer Amy Winehouse has broken box office records in Ireland and the UK

Amy is a feature length documentary about the life and untimely death of singer Amy Winehouse, which released in cinemas in Ireland and the UK at the weekend. And it seems this tragic story has hit a chord with audiences as they flocked to check out the film.

Opening at 133 cinemas across the two islands, Amy managed to score a massive €732,000 opening weekend. That's the highest opening weekend ever for a UK made documentary and the second highest doc opening of all time behind Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 back in 2004.
