Variety‘s Ian Mohr reported yesterday that Universal will delay Peter Berg‘s The Kingdom, an FBI guys-vs.-terrorists actioner, from April 20 to September 28 “in order to build momentum for the Mideast-set drama. The Michael Mann-produced flick costars Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner and Chris Cooper. Universal marketing guy Adam Fofgelson said the studio decided to delay after gauging reactions to the film “during recent tests in Sacramento. ‘We had screenings at the high end of extraordinary. The big and obvious points of the film worked, but also a great deal of its subtlety had an immense impact on audiences.'”
