SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ARC Entertainment, the distributor of "The Undefeated," the film about Gov. Sarah Palin's rise from obscurity to national prominence, announced today that through Saturday night the film had a stronger opening than expected with the large markets trending towards weekend per screen averages above $10,000 driven by multiple sold-out runs. The film had accumulated approximately $5,000 per screen through Saturday night. Unique in the theatrical feature world, "The Undefeated" was rushed to select digital theatres in only 3 weeks, and was marketed almost entirely through social media and grass roots efforts, with virtually no traditional media spend. With the strong initial showing, the film is going to a wider release footprint later this month, with details being announced soon.

1. It's borderline hilarious, coming on the heels of that Atlantic article

by the guy who sat and watched it alone in the theater except for a couple of girls who couldn't get in to see HP and thought it was an action flick, leaving after 20 minutes.

I have a feeling there's a lot of that going on, people expecting Clint Eastwood and finding only the Screeching Grifter and walking out.

3. Must have bought the tickets themselves

The way the conservatives buy up Ann Coulter books to make them best sellers.

4. Sounds like they sprinkling glitter on this on this turd and selling it a gemstone.

Why, I'm sure in no time, it will make Fahrenheit 911 returns.

:rofl:

5. Is this due to the "buy 5 tickets!" plan they were promoting?

:shrug:

[dixiegrrrrl]

7. I'm betting they will pull the film halfway through the opening schedule

in tribute to the Quitter.
