FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Santa Monica, Calif. (PRWEB) July 24, 2011 - Victory Film Group and ARC Entertainment, the distributor of "The Undefeated," the film about Gov. Sarah Palin's rise from obscurity to national prominence, jointly announced today that beginning on September 1st the film will be available to 75 million homes via Video on Demand and Pay-Per-View access through national and regional cable and satellite operators. The DVD will launch on October 4th and will be available at traditional and online retailers nationwide. ARC is estimating its initial unit shipment to be approximately 250,000 units. A "Special Edition" DVD will contain additional new content and will only be sold in Walmart stores. ARC will continue to expand the limited engagement theatrical release nationwide throughout August and September as demand across the country remains high.

Trevor Drinkwater, CEO of ARC Entertainment, said, "Since the film opened in select markets across the country on July 15th we have been inundated with requests from people wanting the film to be made available in their market. After methodically analyzing the most effective ways to bring this galvanizing film to the widest audience as soon as possible we have determined that continued limited theatrical distribution, Video-on-Demand, Pay-Per-View and DVD sales will be the best modalities by which to deliver this film as widely as possible. We have created partnerships with national cable, satellite and mass retailers to achieve our distribution goals."

"This title is absolutely perfect for Video-on-Demand and Pay-Per-View backed by a traditional and significant marketing campaign. We are incredibly excited about having this film made available to the entire country earlier than expected," said Glenn Bracken Evans, the film's producer. "A traditional windowed release would not have allowed us to maximize viewership of this highly sought after film," continued Evans.

"The Undefeated is a terrific case study for a digital cinema release. We have been nimble, efficient and brought this film to many eager viewers with almost no turn around time," said Jill Newhouse Calcaterra, chief marketing officer at Cinedigm, the film's digital distributor. "We look forward to bringing this film to many more audiences across the country during the next month."

Filmmaker Stephen K. Bannon stated, "Given the strong audience reaction we have determined there is overwhelming demand for us to get this film out broadly enough to cover the entire nation in September and October. In a 90-day period from August to November we will be able to effectively cover the nation through multiple distribution modalities."

The Video-on-Demand and Pay-Per-View deals with strategic partners will be backed by a multi-million-dollar advertising campaign to heighten awareness in all markets to the film's availability.

Written and directed by Stephen K. Bannon and produced by Victory Film Group co-founder Glenn Bracken Evans and Dan Fleuette, "The Undefeated" was independently financed by Victory Film Group and its partners.

The film debuted theatrically to multiple sold-out runs and enthusiastic audience support with weekend per-screen averages above $11,000 in top markets. The film was rushed to select digital theatres in only three weeks, and was marketed entirely through social media and grass roots efforts with virtually no traditional media spend.

The film includes leading prominent political commentators Mark Levin, Tammy Bruce and Andrew Breitbart as well as conservative activists Kate Obenshain, Sonnie Johnson and Jamie Radtke. Additionally, the film features interviews with Alaskan civil servants, elected officials and advisors who were involved in Alaskan politics during Governor Palin's tenure.

That will definitely maximize profits for this film. A more extended release was destined for “failing to meet expectations.” This negates that image.

[taildragger]

They must have smelled the lame-steams would not let it get traction via their distibution system so Bannon goes Sun Tzu on their sorry @$$es by going around them in Typical Palin Fashion..

[taildragger]

Oynx are you out their? Get this on the Palin Ping list?

[nolongerademocrat]

Run! Sarah! Run!

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

I will be paying $3.99 to watch this on PPV. I think it should be released for PPV viewing now. A month is a long time in these times. When will Palin be announcing if she does? Before the Aug. 11th debate?

[GOP Poet]

excellent

[magritte]

It’s my understanding that Palin has nothing to do with this film or its distribution. This appears to be strictly done to maximize profits, especially since the 2nd weekend gross was down 63%.

[taildragger]

I want to buy a copy, get a hall, and invite neighbors, friends, etc to watch it, especially on the fencers. extra copies to lend to those that can't come and deliver and pick them back up on a one on one basis would work.

This is going to be retail politics, one mind one heart at a time.

Nevermind O4P, we are just going to have to grab the ball and run ! run ! run !

[taildragger]

Yes she does not.... I was unaware of the 2nd week numbers, thanks.

[isthisnickcool]

Put it on itunes!!!!

[9YearLurker]

The August 11th debate is going to be a cattle call.

I see her first appearance in Jim DeMint’s event, which will limit partipation to actual contenders.

[who knows what evil?]

...so where does the ‘X rated’ version turn up? Is that the version on ‘Pay-per-View’? I can’t imagine that is the ‘Special Edition’ being sold at Wal-Mart.

[Windflier]

...so where does the ‘X rated’ version turn up?

What the hell.....?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

This may be the best move to sell the movie. I can see 250,000 DVD’s being sold.

[TrumpisRight]

just watched the 1:50 showing at Grapevine, TX and there were 35 plus people there.
