That’s NOT true..I talked to people online who went to the Orange, CA theater and said it was sold out..depends on what time though
Update II by Nicole:
Heres a nice round-up of The Undefeated tweets put together by Josh Painter over at Texans for Sarah Palin:
MSM Where are the empty theaters now?

Drove 8 Hours To See The #Undefeated! Very Well Made, Exhilarating & Inspirational
Amazing! People in this theater had NO idea about ethics complaints & why she resigned! They do now!
Update II by Whitney: California Organize4Palin coordinator notes that both the 4 PM and 7 PM showings in Orange County were sold out.
This is a deliberately dishonest article-—the showing was a midnight showing last night.
This was the 12:01 AM show... on the first day. Amazing, people who support Palin have jobs & stuff...
Oh WOW no wonder..Midnight show..geez who would go to a midnight show anyway. I am a huge Sarah supporter and even I would not have gone to a midnight screening..I am following someone on twitter who is in Phoenix, Arizona at the AMC theater and its SOLD OUT..not only sold out but they had to open up another screen to deal with the overflow of people
Thanks for the good read.
And everybody knows it.
Is the theater off the 405?
wtf? i just don’t believe the liberal media anymore.
It’s The Atlantic. The Enquirer has more believable writing.
Plus the Midnight showing of the UNDEFEATED wasn’t advertise - no one knew abut it.
Apparently when the movie owner had the specials Midnight showing for Harry Potter, he decided to show the other films as well, including The UNDEFEATED.

Comments at the link are atrocious.
I seem to recall a similar situation a few weeks before Palin’s book came out... there was some reporter who wrote about what a huge bomb the book was proving to be. An all-out financial disaster for the publisher, etc. Went on tv, spreading this line. Obviously tryng to ‘create’ this narrative, for the willing and corrupt media to broadcast, which they dutifully did. However, they got swamped over by facts and reality, when the book proved a blockbuster.
The corruption in the media truly knows no bounds. You can’t believe a word they report.
