Sarah Palin documentary "The Undefeated" got off to a soft start in a lightly promoted 10-theater box-office debut this weekend, grossing somewhere between $65,000-$75,000, according to estimates confirmed by distributor ARC Entertainment.
Still, ARC Entertainment isn't admitting defeat, declaring the film's limited opening "strong" while pointing to several sold-out performances.
"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 ARC CEO Trevor Drinkwater. "“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.”
Written and directed by conservative filmmaker Stephen Bannon, and featuring commentary from the right-wing gliterati, the film details Palin's rise from simple hockey mom to defeated vice presidential candidate and mid-term gubernatorial dropout. The narrative, of course, tells the story in the happy way the "mainstream media" purportedly refuses to.
"The demographic is clearly the Heartland," Drinkwater told TheWrap, refering to a list of opening locations that includes Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Denver, Phoenix, Orlando, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Oklahoma City and Orange, Calif.Sarah Palin documentary "The Undefeated" got off to a soft start in a... more

In this scene from "4th and Forever," Coach Lara reminds the Jackrabbits of just how important the game against Mission Viejo is to Long Beach Poly. Not only are the working to break a history of losing to Mission Viejo, they're representing their whole community.
"4th and Forever"" chronicles the 2010 football season of Long Beach Polytechnic High School, touted by Sports Illustrated as the "Sports School of the Century" and boasts the largest roster of high school players who have gone on to the NFL. After decades of success, Poly had a down year in 2009. They had their worst season in 15 years and lost to local rival Lakewood for the first time in over 25 years. After years of being pegged as "the team to beat," the aura of invincibility is gone. The players are worried that their hopes for a college scholarship have dimmed. The clock is ticking and the question is: Can Head Football Coach Raul Lara pull the team together for one more season of greatness? And, can the players avoid the temptations of the street, succeed in the classroom, and emerge victorious on the field?
Tune in Thursdays at 9/8c for all-new episodes of "4th and Forever."
