Approximately $5,000 per screen through Saturday night

"What would have taken months and cost millions, ARC did in weeks with virtually no traditional media advertising"

Wider national rollout to commence in the coming weeks

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.

[...]

"We are extremely pleased with the audience reaction, which has been over-the-top enthusiastic and very passionate, including standing ovations at most screenings," said Trevor Drinkwater, CEO of ARC Entertainment, the film's distributor. "We expect word-of-mouth to keep ticket sales strong and we will definitely expand the film to a wider national audience. With merely three weeks of preparation and a virtually non-existent traditional advertising spend, the film did exceptionally well. " .

"We have been told the theaters in Phoenix, Atlanta,

Over the weekend reports also documented the strong ticket sales and enthusiastic audience reaction. Reuters reported, "It may not be 'Harry Potter,' but another film featuring a bespectacled protagonist is racking up strong pre-sales before its national roll-out this weekend." AOL's Patch reported,"

But Cardinal Secola hasn't been elected yet!

Which means...things go better with Koch.

Speak of the devil...

(Huh?)

I knew you would talk behind my back.

You are generally on /VI but for this one I want you to know I know your sleazy ways. Sleaze is all you have so it should be of no surprise.

I make a straight up request: show me where I have said anything bad. Response (sleaze:YOU and your ilk): we INFER you said something bad from a link to a link to an inference to a link.

Q: Show me a link where I have insulted Gov. Palin:
A: (sleazebag and your ilk): We INFER that because you said a movie was a type of “cult of personality” that you called us “cultists!”

You and your ilk: Daddy!!! The bad man is killing us at every logical turn!!! Daddy!!!!! We can’t actually SHOW where he has insulted Gov. Palin nor us, but he vaguely makes us uneasy and HE MUST BE BANNED!!! DADDY!!!!

And you have thrown in your lot with a 12-14 yo to boot. e/s you should use better judgement. I don’t always agree with your conclusions but until now I haven’t questioned your intelligence (well, not too much).

Sleaze: As a posting lifestyle it really must be distasteful. I suggest you eschew it.

I can shave in the morning. Can you?

Nah, I have been around the block with him a couple times now. I love how he projects his drooling moonbattery in his ‘opponents,’ thinking that he’s the smartest guy in the room.

Remember the toys from the 70s “Tiny Mighty Moes” He’s the 2011 version. “Wind him up and watch him go.”

His name pretty much says it all. I think you are right about JR keeping him for entertainment value. Or as a bad example to others ;)

Your pathetic little challenge was answered by myself and others. You just ignore it as it proves you full of Liberalism and PDS.

Here it is again Moonbat...

Post 33. This thread-you already tried this crap and were rebutted

“But even if you disagree with my conclusions and see it differently — I REPEAT MY CHALLENGE! Where did I insult “everyone” much less anyone (much less you. much less Gov. Palin) on that thread?”

You were told The following:

“Your comment about ‘cult of personality’ is an insult to supporters of Governor Palin. If you knew any better, you’d be ashamed of yourself.”

So once again, keep right on blathering. I didn’t even have to leave the thread to find an instance of your BS. And yet again, If I did, I’d be posting for hours.

Or to paraphrase Yoda the wise...

Barking moonbat you are. Keep your moonbattery straight you cannot! ;)

Mockery. this is! Deserving of more than that, you are not!

You repeat your defeated argument.

You have yet to post a single example of an anti-Gov. Palin post by me. Just “he made us feel bad!”

To use your Yoda-ism “the force is weak in this one: Stupid is he in the ways of logic and from his hands will his mommy will take his computer keyboard.”

>>“And anyone on the Internet can claim anything they want,”<<

Yep, and you have yet to argue how your argumentation is anything less that insipid AND how your bare claim to be older that 15 (your mommy will be along any moment) is other than assertion.

If you need help with communications forensics (Oh — for you and your pizza-roll slumber-party friends that means “talking with adults”) I can direct you to some very great sites.

The chances of you having a daughter are only if you impregnated a turtle when you were 4.

Not by you. Say it a thousand times. Doesn’t make it true. Words mean things and you said’em FD. Now eat’em.

Are you going to call for daddy again?

If I was you and getting bested in every single area, I would.

Feel free.

Well, that is until your mommy comes into the basement. Than, all bets are off. I’l know when she takes the keyboard and wags her finger for taunting her little baby-wickins.

Oh — let me repeat (this is so rich I have to do it):

I said “the Palin Movie is a ‘Cult of Personality’ movie.”

You and your ilk said “HOW DARE YOU CALL US CULTISTS!!”

This:

a) is an insult against Gov. Palin
b) insults everyone who supports Gov. Palin]

If that is your position, I need say no more.

I need say nothing. The vapidity of your position speaks for itself.

And it does not eliminate the requirement that you provide a post where I directly spoke against Gov. Palin nor any specific poster.

You are just a liar, along with your little Palin reverse PDS buddies who hate being bested.

But it is what I expect for adolescents. Your Mommy must be a liberal, letting kids like you stay up so late on a school night.

A ‘cult of personality’ movie is a movie that by necessity requires a ‘cult’ of personality’ as an audience to view it, otherwise the very definition is meaningless and you are just speaking meaningless words (not out of character for you at all).

The very term ‘cult of personality’ implies that members thereof are not free-thinking individuals. AKA a “Cult”.

A ‘cult of personality’ cannot be a cult without members. That would, in your context, be us.

A ‘cult of personality’ cannot be a cult without a leader that the cultists are led by. In your context, this is Sarah Palin, who the movie is about.

“Implying” or directly calling people a ‘cultist’ is not a term of endearment.

Since JR himself has called FR “Palin Country” in those very words and more than 80% of the site as polled is supportive of SP, does it not therefore follow, using the ‘cult of personality’ description you applied to the Undefeated movie that Free Republic is also a ‘cult of personality’?

I have to wonder why you post on a site which you have such low regard for your fellow posters. I eagerly await your diversion from this question since you cannot fault the logic.

That wasn't MY post.

Mine was Cardinal Secola etc. etc.

If Cardinal Secola were elected, he'd become "Pope Secola" (say it).

Since there is no Pope Secola, that leaves Coke (Koch).

etc.

Hated by the libs, therefore the Devil as far as they are concerned.

Sleep-deprived posting is a wondrous thing.

Cheers!

Due to the fact that anything can change, sixteen months before the election gives even the person coming in last a chance to win the whole thing. In many aspects Palin is the frontrunner, and hasn’t even declared her candidacy.

The Undefeated is empirical evidence of the fact that Palin’s ability to do what she promises is superior to most other Governors, ever. Proof that everything said against her for the past two years is false. If you want to argue against this, you will have to ignore the content of the documentary.

To post opinion backed by neither logic nor evidence again and again and again is proof that your only motive is hope.

To commit a misdeed and then accuse your opponent of doing it is not the sign of intellect or accomplishment. Yet we see it daily, from Obama all the way down to posters on this website whose ideology is too weak to be advanced except through the active pursuit of falsehood.

Notice how ‘The Undefeated’ is receiving a grade of ‘F’ from people at Box Office Mojo? Aren’t you supposed to actually SEE the movie first before assigning a grade? :-)
