The epic defeat of "The Undefeated."


You know sometimes an image is almost all that you need to make your point.

This film was doomed from the start, which anybody who was really in Alaska, and knew about Sarah Palin's time as governor, could have easily predicted.  In fact I do believe that I did.

However besides simply indicating how bad this movie was, it is also an indication of how truly inconsequential the Palin-bots have become.  After all they both begged and threatened people to get them to go see this film, and virtually NOBODY responded.

It is very hard NOT to see this as a dry run for Palin's Presidential campaign.

If she does declare in September I have little doubt that the result will look very much like the box office results pictured above. In other words, in the immortal words of my daughter, it will be another EPIC FAIL!

(H/T to Box Office Mojo.)

Update: It looks like Malia wrote something about this as well.

    Gryphen, aren't you being a bit rough on the screechy wretch here? Afterall, that chart you show is a matter of perspective. Just because you dislike her you choose to look at the figures in your own biased way.

    But, notice what happens when you read the numbers in REVERSE order!! There's an irrefudiatable and very impressive trend from $5k to $25k to $65k in just 3 weeks!!! (my quick calculation estimates that's about a 2,300% increase per week, ya know... approximately.)

    Let's see your so-called liberal Hollywood media mogules duplicate THAT performance.

    A simple projection shows that, if the backward trend continues, by October 25th, 2009, "The Unwatchable" will rise to being the single most successful film in history with over $25 gabillion dollars in ticket sales alone, not including what private individuals collect while showing the DVD to small groups in their homes, also, too.

    Mock her if you must - and you must - but I think she's accomplished something pretty darn impressive - and a total delusion on top of everything else.... Wow! Run, Lulu, Run!!!

    As I read it, this is GROSS amount. What do you think the NET amount would be? Did they have to pay the theaters to show the movie? How did they come up with the income figures...if they counted butts in seats and multiplied it by the cost of the tickets, that would be wrong, because we know that they gave away free tickets.

    Totally and completely an EPIC FAIL of the highest level.

  23. THAT really *is* the poster for this movie?

    Oh, my gawd. I thought it was a parody of the real movie poster.

    Who does she think she is? Stalin? "You will attend this movie, or else."

    It makes me so sad that there are people so illiterate of history or so gullible (or just plain stupid) as to be brainwashed by the propaganda of Palin, Beck and Limbaugh STILL, after everything that has happened.

    I guess referring to them as the "BASE" is appropriate, since they tend to have the basest of motivations; bigotry, racism, hatred. Has this country really become so self-centered and ugly?

    Theaters usually show a movie 5 times a day.

    5 times x 3 days [Friday, Saturday & Sunday] = 15 showings per theater on the weekend.

    4 theaters x 15 showings = 60 showings altogether.

    Divide that $5,200 by $8 per ticket, that's 650 tickets sold.

    650 divided by 60 showings = 10.83 per show.

    So there was an average of about 11 people per showing.

    All of this in handpicked Palin country.

    Those delusional folk on C4P are still convinced that she's the savior, eh?

    The following is an "editorial" on the dangers of a Third Party in the next Presidential election:
    Way off topic but I see that Firedoglake is again trying to elect a Bachmann or a Romney. They did such a good job last November encouraging everyone to stay home and not vote to show that turncoat Obama. We'll show him, won't we? We just won't vote. Well, I hope they're happy because by staying home the Republicans and Teatards took over the House. They're now getting all of the Democratic voters to turn on Obama. I don't like it either (what is sure to pass tomorrow morning on the debt-ceiling "crises") but I sure as hell am not voting for the only alternative in the next election!!
    I heard that they are now working on a Third Party for the '12 election. Newsflash: That worked out so well in '00. Ralph Nader took votes away from Gore. Granted Jeb Bush/Florida plus the Supreme Court appointed W as President but the "Third Party Alternative" approach DID NOT work and it is just too dangerous to work this time around IMHO.

  43. At first I thought $arah just hated about 70% of the other real Americans who disagree with her and was teasing about a faux POTUS run just for spite. Now I have to believe that she also hates her family. Why else would anyone subject those they alledgedly 'love' to the abject ridicule and scorn they receive due to her unrequited ego and lack of intellect and qualifications. She doesn't want to actually be the President, she wants the same sort of deal she had with previous 'offices'. Do the waving and winking, appear at functions, sign documents after others have done all the real work, fly around in AF1 with a staff waiting on her hand and foot.

    In all my years I've never witnessed another candidate from any party with such a hunger for adulation and an unquenchable thirst for revenge.

    If O'Really can claim the Norway assasin is not a "Christian" due to his actions then he has to step up and recognize Mrs P as another self-styled religious zealot whose devisive and hateful rhetoric doesn't qualify her to call herself a Christian

    Sarah was not successful at anything except for running scams and getting pregnant before marriage like her mother, sister, daughter and son's girlfriend.

    NOW will the media realize that their fervor for this woman is completely out of whack with the public's resounding disinterest in her - except for free articles on the Internet? Her books were propped up by bulk buys from rightwing outlets (and her own PAC). SarahPAC does not bring in the kind of money other "undeclared candidates" bring in. She DOES NOT DRAW CROWDS on her own. And this movie, which benefited from more free press than any other this year, completely tanked.

    And yet, the media keeps trying to convince us that she's important.

    4:45 you are absolutely correct. she indicated she was going to run an unconventional campaign and The Undefeated was its herald.

    She has been very quiet for almost two weeks and I suspect may be experiencing whatever she experiences!

    She's still a money maker for the print and electronic media....no more TV series though and probably no more books. Thankfully her star is fading...now if she would just fade from general consciousness we could turn our collective attention to what is happening to our democracy.

    Sarah made herself inconsequential by not staying in office or at least running for another office.
    Nobody is going to ask her to be the candidate for the Republicans, unless the Kochs make the party take her.

    She is not wealthy enough to have any major impact on a national level on her own strengths.
    Being a feral conservative opinionator...oops, rogue "...", gives lots of freedom to express one's self but also makes one smell at least a little gamey and to collect fleas, and ticks, so to speak.

    She claims to speak for the Tea Party but the Tea Party isn't actually a Party or an organization or anything else.

    Sarah is a very unpleasant very unChrist like person who becomes less liked as people see and read more about her. She is also one dimensional which makes for boring TV and movies and public appearances.

    With her partial move to Arizona and not holding any high office in Alaska any longer, more and more Alaskans are willing to speak out about what she is truly like, and what she and her family are, truly, which is, ugly, and vicious.

    Who are her friends and allies? I mean real friends, real allies. She has none.

    She has alienated many former friends, supporters, mentors and allies, like McCain and his staff.
    However much of a doofus McCain has become, he has powerful long time connections who could have been grooming and guiding Palin. But she chose to dis his whole campaign also too his family, just for good measure.

    Ugly, vicious, and now inconsequential.

    She has learned nothing that would make her a better leader or organizer since the summer of 2008. In fact quite the opposite, she is a divider not a joiner, a dictator not a uniter, even within her own party, assuming she actually has a party any more.
