Palin’s ‘Undefeated’ tanks, heads to Pay-Per-View

"The Undefeated," the documentary about Sarah Palin, appears to have suffered box office defeat.

The film opened in 10 locations last week and upped its exposure to 14 cities this weekend. But Reuters today reports that even as the number of screening venues increased, box office revenue has declined by more than 63 percent. It grossed only $24,000 this past weekend.

Victory Film Group and distributor ARC Entertainment announced Sunday that the doc about the former Alaska governor will be available via video on demand and pay-per-view starting Sept. 1.

But reports such as the one in Reuters suggest lagging sales and attendance prompted the hasty pay-per-view push.

Boy, will the freepers be disappointed.

[Faygo Kid]

2. A few rubes will send their hard-earned $$$ to The Grifter.

Sentient beings will save their money for their families.

[Plucketeer]

9. Sentient beings will use their hard-earned $$$

for something that guarantees more of a return - say like lottery tickets or a slot machine! :rofl:

[Warpy]

3. The plutocrats will undoubtedly underwrite its free distribution

to every wingnut church in the country.

4. I'm waiting for "The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Sarah Palin"

[dgibby]

5. Pay per view?

Does that mean Palin will have to pay me to watch it?

[lunatica]

6. The fault lies in Captain America this week 'cause it beat Harry Potter too

Last week it was Harry Potter's fault. Geez can't an honest pit bull, er, hockey mom get a break y'all?

[AlbertCat]

14. * - except in theaters and elections

....and beauty pageants


I mean... what IS this film about? What could possibly be in it worth the time it takes to open your eye lids?

[quakerboy]

10. That is astounding

If it were net, that would mean something like 110 people per day per theater, or 1500 people over the weekend. But its gross, so even more people actually watched that (what I assume is a)POS. Or maybe all tea party members watched it several times each over the weekend.

11. Next week they'll be giving it away with the Sunday paper.

13. The Unintelligible in pursuit of the Unteachable.

Snow Snooki hopes to squeeze a few more dollars from idiots who still think she MIGHT run for President.

[oldbanjo]

15. The only one watching this was probably

[DBoon]

21. Awesome.

Only one church lady in attendence. Or is that Karl Rove in drag?

[Raschel]

19. She doesn't get it. She's a polarizing freak show. People who can't stand her won't go,

and the people who love her just want more outrageous sound bites.

Nobody wants to see some contrived movie, or hear her 'thoughts' (not that she has any) on politics.

[AEEHINRRTTUW]

20. Why does this woman get such attention?

She is foolish.

[Marie Marie]

22. Whaat? You mean the right wing cabal didn't buy up blocks of tickets

to boost the numbers. Guess it isn't as easy to do with a movie what they usually do with the trashy books put out by their side.

[rpannier]

23. Impossible!!!

It's titled Undefeated.
This must have been the plan all along
It won! It won, I tell you!

[Hubert Flottz]

24. There goes Sarah's star on the street in Hollywood.

Don't quit your day job Sarah...oops a little late for that advice.

[Lil Missy]

26. Pay per view? Yeah, that will help...

[SOS]

27. There is no market for yesterday's newspaper

Looks like Bachmann is the new prom queen.

[left on green only]

29. Are Undefeated Tanks Her Latest Weapon To Use In Her Slaughter Of

Defenseless Wildlife? That slime bag excuse for a human being gives whole new meaning to the word coward. How I enjoy imagining her in some other life, being thrust defenseless into the middle of a forest while a posse of hunters carrying scope mounted, high power rifles track her down in the name of "sport". And it should happen to her a thousand times in a thousand different ways.

On edit by author eliminated dup word.

[unkachuck]

30. I think Mike Moore....

....as a fellow documentary maker should help Sarah out....

....Mike, you could critique The Undefeated, pointing out fact from fiction to Sarah and help make editing improvements....

....you could talk to your friends in marketing and see if they could have The Undefeated packaged with every Happy Meal....

....maybe you could persuade the large distribution companies to having a showing of The Undefeated at their company picnics....

"It grossed only $24,000 this past weekend."

....Sarah needs help, Mike....as Liberals we're obligated to help people in distress....
