There was one news report, I can’t remember from where or what CA city but it reported that it showed to an empty theater.
That’s correct. The midnight showing was empty.
I remember when I went to Life is Beautiful that we were the ONLY people in the theatre. Just an odd thing for some reason..time of day, something else going on, who knows? It certainly had nothing to do with the movie or with politics.
It was the Register in Orange County, CA. It “reported” that the 12:02 AM show was empty. LOL.
Here’s a FReeper report from the Orange, California showing:

As usual, the MSM prints lies.
Orange county but it was 12am showing
Yeah, I saw that too, so obviously these other reports are lies as we all know, no one would go watch a movie about Sarah Palin that rethug witch, etc /SARC!!!
I imagine if you looked long and hard you could find a neighborhood or town that is so utterly leftist no one would attend. Some of the burbs around San Francisco and LA might be like that.
I found a post on some leftist blog stating that the Orange county theater was empty for the Palin documentary. We all know some guy posting on a leftist blog wouldn't lie.
I expect that if the MSM covers the Palin documentary at all, it will only mention theaters where it didn't draw a big audience. The theaters where it does well will be ignored or dismissed because the 'Harry Potter' film drew bigger audiences, as if documentaries ever beat wildly popular franchise fantasy films.
In short, no matter how well 'The Undefeated' does, in the MSM, the fix is in and it will be termed a 'flop'. Remember, the leftmedia loathes, fears and despises Sarah Palin and will never give her anything close to a fair shake.
That was an unadvertised midnight showing before any of the promoted shows were aired. Who knew? Oddly enough, a journolist made the point of catching that midnight show and reported. Funny how his article was then replicated across the liberal media.
It was in CA and it was for a midnight show on Thursday that was never advertised.
That said, if you're only going to release a film nationally to ten theaters, you damn well better ensure that they are packed, because at that rate, it would take you a decade to get back your $1m production and $1m P&A budget. What was "Atlas Shrugged," in 600 or so?
Yes, that was at a 12:01 a.m. showing in Los Angeles, obviously the intent of the article (the first showing in LA.) How many people go to the movies at midnight?
Yep, when it opened at 12:01 AM. I know where I was at midnight, in bed asleep.
