Indy on trail of boxoffice grail


May 22, 2008 Industry tracking shows Uwe Boll's "Postal" making a late surge in prerelease polling against the recently bowed "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Originally slated by Boll-owned distributor Event Film as a wide release with as many as 1,500 playdates, those plans have been scratched after a deafening chorus of resistance from major exhibitors. Regal Cinemas and AMC circuits refused to play the farcical and politically driven black comedy, so it's now tagged for distribution starting Friday in just 13-15 theaters in seven markets.
