Uwe Boll's movie adaptation of
Running With Scissors'
Postal action game series seemed to be a marriage made in heaven. Both Boll and Running With Scissors have generated tons of controversy with their previous products and both have been slammed by most mainstream critics. However the clips we have seen of the
Postal movie definitely have a dark humor appeal.
After a number of delays, the
Postal movie finally got scheduled for a wide release in theaters on May 23 via the distributor Freestyle Releasing. But according to a press release from Boll's production company and sent to Kotaku, the major theater chains in the US are "boycotting
Postal because of its political content." Thus a planned opening of the movie on 1500 screens has been reduced to just four theaters. Of course, another reason for theater owners not wanting
Postal may be Boll's awful box office record; his last theatrical movie
(In The Name Of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale) made just under $3 million in its opening weekend last January.
