The pro-Palin doc collected $65,132 in the 10 theaters in which it debuted July 15 for a per-screen average of $6,513. But distributor Arc Entertainment said that the movie enjoyed a stronger-than-excepted debut in Phoenix and Orange Country, Calif., where the per-screen averages ran above $11,000.

"Given the audience response on our opening weekend, we now know we have a film that works. Our objective is very simple: to bring this film to every market and every corner of the country; starting with a limited theatrical release and then through an aggressive broader distribution strategy including streaming video, on-demand access and DVD,” Bannon said.

Written and directed by 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.
