Another FOX "News"- Orwellian Moment - Empty Is Full!

Palin Film Opens Strong, Theaters Packed


http://nation.foxnews.com/undefeated/2011/07/17/palin-film-opens-strong-theaters-packed




...........................


From The Atlantic:

Shortly before the end of the film, a young couple entered, walked to the back row, started making out, then interrupted their session and left (spoiler alert) as Andrew Breitbart, who made one of several guest appearances, started talking about eunuchs. Then I was alone again, working. Instead of researching civil liberties violations, or the war in Libya, or the contest to elect the next president of the United States, I was both a journalist and the only member of the public willfully paying attention to Sarah Palin, as if standing in for the pathologies of my profession.

3. The faux nation caption was accurate
Opens Strong=stunk, and faux still had to search far and wide to be able to dredge up a couple of theaters in TX that actually had a few teabaggers who went to see it.

Theaters Packed: Yeah, but they were only for some of the other movies that were also being shown at megaplexes around the same time.

Spin, spin, spin...

5. Woo hoo! Total domestic gross is now up to $65,132!
At this rate she'll have enough funds to fill up that gas guzzling non-tourbus of hers in about three months time.

7. Palin movie grosses $65K in limited release

Dave Helling. 5 hours, 28 minutes ago
The Undefeated, the movie about Sarah Palin that played in the Kansas City area over the weekend, grossed $65,132 according to this website. (The link may be broken — try www.boxofficemojo.com and click around to find it.)

That’s an average of $6,513 on the ten theater screens where it played, about the same as Tabloid, a movie about coverage of a scandal involving a Mormon missionary and a former beauty pageant contestant.

Harry Potter — the final movie — grossed $169.2 million in the U.S.

9. LOL, I love it how she keeps hanging it out there that she may run for President & the
media hangs on to it. Hell, she has to keep the possibility open to keep making money the way she has. She won't run but she will play the game as long as she can. She has really snookered her cult followers & the media.

11. Fox Nation is such a laughable piece of crap. Even the Onion has more truth to it.
