"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.

Why are you so eager to share this with Evening Star (bless his heart)?In spite of his concerns about Governor Palin, EveningStar:
- joined us at the premiere of "The Undefeated" in Orange, CA two weeks ago,Please remind me: precisely what have YOU done to support this amazing movie?
- attended our "after party" -- and
- posted a (relativley) positive review of the movie here.
...you say it now APPEARS they have pulled the plugWhen I posted by concerns initially, I only had CIRCUMSTANTIAL evidence - from movietickets.com.
I now have very good confimnation of this sad news by e-mail.However, as of this moment, I still have yet to see anything about this posted on the Internet.
RonDog did his best to get a group together to go see the screening of “The Undefeated”. He contacted me with that effort. I don’t see that as the actions of a person not being supportive of Palin.
Your comments seem to be evidence of a Palin supporter turning on someone in their own camp.
I’ve known RonDog for years, and I have known him and continue to know him to be a good person who has spent a considerable amount of his time doing a number of productive things with FReepers in the greater Los Angeles region, to the benefit of Conservatism.
I have valued his efforts, and continue to commend him for them.
It is unfortunate to see someone who doesn’t know RonDog, attempt to question his motives here.
You owe him an apology.
How do you know they had not already planned to stop the showings there?I do not know specifically what the marketing folks PLANNED to do...
...but I **do** know what the ANNOUNCED they would do......just THREE DAYS AGO, on 7/24:
Limited Engagement Theatrical Release to Continue Nationwide Throughout August and SeptemberNo mention that AMC theaters were planning to stop showings at the original ten/fourteen theaters, when they added the new four.-- snip --
ARC will continue to expand the limited engagement theatrical release nationwide throughout August and September as demand across the country remains high.
I suppose that you **could** "parse" the words in this most recent press release -- in a "Clintonian" legalistic manner -- so that they can claim that they weren't really LYING about their plans.
Our side, however, should be better than this.I would have preferred if they would have stated openly that there would be a "rolling release" of the film -- with showings for only a week or two at each location.
That certainly may have been their INTENT, but it was not what they allowed many of us to IMPLY, apparently incorrectly.
What source do you suggest?
I can tell you what I have not done is this...trumpet a Reuters report that is unflattering to Gov Palin. C4P reported that it was not accurate, leaving the impression that the movie was folding up and everybody should just wait until it comes on tv. That was the intent of the Reuters reports, not you.
Was not meant as an attack, sorry if it sounded that way...But for crying out loud,. it`s a Reuters LSM report, give the film a chance to get through the 3rd weekend.
Lets leave it there please :) I will not be commenting any further on this, it`s not helpful to anybody.PEACE
You sent it to me, it bumped the thread to the top. Anybody that hits Palin or Sarah Palin in the key words (thousands do here, I do several times a day, it appears as a brand new topic at the top)
Test it if you do not believe me.
I KNOW YOU ARE A LOYAL SUPPORTER OF SARAH :) I just did not think it was helpful to the cause. And nobody should be falling for negative LSM/Reuters reports.
Lets leave it there so we do not give any ammo to anybody! I am not commenting further. :)
I suggest C4P
I stand corrected, it only appeared to me as a new post, under posts to me, because you sent it to me. :)
the presence of the truly inside and outside beauty combined with knock down drag out talent thrills any real American.....
how about jump in the lake laz ma doofus.....that ok? heh heh heh..
Agreed. I’ll likely watch of PPV.
those numbers approximatly the number of regular church goers in the USA....proving we got it right yet another time.....!
Glad YOU laughed, because that was about as lame as I have EVER seen on this forum.
I mean seriously.
LULZ!
