Sarah Landon And The Paranormal HourSarah Landon And The Paranormal Hour was financed for an unreported amount by the wealthy Comrie family and was directed and acted by numerous family members.  Shot on a video camera, this cheap looking picture probably cost more to distribute and market than produce.  The Comrie’s distributed through rent-a-distributor Freestyle Releasing and opened the film in an ambitious 1,121 theaters.  With advertising promising “the first in a series of Sarah Landon Mysteries,” that would end when the film posted one of the worst wide release numbers ever, with a $586,283 gross and a per screen average of just $523 for the entire weekend — placing #19 for the weekend.  Sarah Landon And The Paranormal Hour lasted only two weeks before being pulled out of every theater with a $858,415 cume.  Major theater chains don’t pay out the usual 55% to independent distributors (Regal pays out only 34% for example), so the Comrie’s saw back about $300k plus a fee to Freestyle and wisely canceled any more Sarah Landon films.
