Article Excerpt:

For those of you hoping to buck the trend of seeing Indiana Jones next weekend in favor of more prurient pursuits at the multiplex, your options have just become more limited. Cinema Blend is reporting that Uwe Boll's long "awaited" post-9/11 spoof Postal will do what all Uwe Boll movies do: Fail to generate much of an audience.

Not very long ago, Boll could be heard boasting about going up against of the cinema's most beloved franchises in Uwe vs. Goliath fashion. However, Postal will no longer open in 1,500 theaters in America next weekend, but only four.

In a statement released on Friday, Boll claims, "Theatrical distributors are boycotting Postal because of its political content,” adding, “we were prepared to open on 1500 screens all across America on May 23rd. Any multiplex in the U.S. should have space for us, but they're afraid.”

I won't argue that exhibitors may not want Boll's message in their theaters. But let's nip any talk of a First Amendment issue in the bud right now. If you're charging admission, you can show whatever you think will make the most money. That's just bidness right there.
