Palin Doco “Goes Wide” to 14 Theaters on Wings of Boffo Weekend BO

The Undefeated leaps from 10 theaters to 14 in its inexorable juggernaut course to becoming the most incrementally rolled-out summer blockbuster feel-good sleeper art-house niche-market celluloid experience since My Dinner with Batman and Aguirre, The Wrath of Khan.
Several of the opening day markets got the ax for lousy per-screen numbers that were harshing the average. Dallas, Houston, Denver and Orange stay. Phoenix and Atlanta get overflow screens. Second weekend adds Tucson, AZ; West Palm, FL; Milwaukee, WI; Charlotte, NC; and Ontario, CA. By all accounts, only America’s appalling lack of unused movie screens is holding back the latent breakout potential of this powerhouse film THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING, YOU SNIVELLING LIBTARDS!
Just for giggles, here’s the Box Office Mojo response to an angry fan on one of the Palin blogs who felt BOMojo was intentionally supressing revenue reports for The Undefeated:
We report on all movies, regardless of location count. The Undefeated people failed to send us anything on their movie.
But we finally hunted them down today, and the movie will be listed later today.
“Per theater average” at only 10 theaters is not an apples-to-apples comparison with a nationwide release. The fewer the theaters, the easier it is to have a high
per-theater average.And simply having one of the higher per-theater averages on a given weekend is not a sign of success.
At 10 theaters, a successful per theater average would be much higher than ‘Undefeated’s. There was nothing exceptional about ‘The Undefeated.’ If anything, it was soft. It was relatively worse than ‘Atlas Shrugged Part I,’ and that movie was a disappointment.
Anyone claiming this is a success already is not being objective.
