Sarah Palin's 'The Undefeated' Movie Debuts To Empty Theater in O.C.

Sarah Palin s  The Undefeated Movie Debuts To Empty Theater

Bad news for Sarah Palin: No one watched her documentary 'The Undefeated' in Orange County when it opened at 12:01 am today.

In fairness, who would want to watch a documentary at 12:01 in the morning -- just as the final movie in the Harry Potter franchise was opening? But apparently, AMC had a theater open for the movie in Orange County, and Conor Friedersdorf from The Atlantic decided to watch - so he could write his article 'What If Sarah Palin Starred in a Movie and No One Showed Up?'

He was alone in the theater with a couple of people going in and out not knowing what they were watching. My guess is that the box office will pick up over the weekend during regular hours fro the moview. But yeah, it did debut to an empty theater.

From The Atlantic:

Shortly before the end of the film, a young couple entered, walked to the back row, started making out, then interrupted their session and left (spoiler alert) as Andrew Breitbart, who made one of several guest appearances, started talking about eunuchs. Then I was alone again, working. Instead of researching civil liberties violations, or the war in Libya, or the contest to elect the next president of the United States, I was both a journalist and the only member of the public willfully paying attention to Sarah Palin, as if standing in for the pathologies of my profession.
