I wonder why IMDb won't correct the title


I mean, come on, the actual DVD is out. They've obviously made up their minds the title is no longer "East Broadway." Besides, if you do a search on IMDb for "Falling for Grace" it takes you right to "East Broadway." I don't know what the hell they're waiting for. I put in an update request myself, and I can't be the first person to do it.

The IMDB rule is to list a film under the title and year of its initial debut (first theatrical showing or first straight-to-video release name if it never screened in a theater). If the title was changed after the debut, or a working title was widely used prior to a real title being chosen, all are cross-referenced so a search of IMDB leads you to the debut title.

I don't think a showing at a film festival should count as a "first theatrical showing." The first commercial showing was under the new title. They're being annoying.
