HBP Film Pushed Back to Summer '09!

quote:
Warner Bros. Pictures today announced that it has moved back the release date of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to Summer 2009. The sixth installment of the blockbuster Harry Potter franchise will now open day-and-date domestically and in the major international markets on July 17, 2009. The announcement was made by Alan Horn, President and Chief Operating Officer, Warner Bros.

In making the announcement, Mr. Horn stated, “Our reasons for shifting ‘Half-Blood Prince’ to summer are twofold: we know the summer season is an ideal window for a family tent pole release, as proven by the success of our last Harry Potter film, which is the second-highest grossing film in the franchise, behind only the first installment. Additionally, like every other studio, we are still feeling the repercussions of the writers’ strike, which impacted the readiness of scripts for other films—changing the competitive landscape for 2009 and offering new windows of opportunity that we wanted to take advantage of. We agreed the best strategy was to move Half-Blood Prince to July, where it perfectly fills the gap for a major tent pole release for mid-summer.”

Jeff Robinov, President of Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, confirmed, “The release date change does not alter the production schedule for this or future Harry Potter films. Post-production on Half-Blood Prince was completed on time, and the studio’s release plans for the two-part Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will not be affected by this change. We know Harry Potter fans are eagerly anticipating seeing the final chapters unfold onscreen. In fact, the good news for them is that the gap will now be shortened between ‘Half-Blood Prince’ and the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.”

no. they dont care about records...they only care about the money, and if they dont change their minds really quickly a lot of true fans are bocotting the movie...and Im honestly about to do the same. If Im ganna be made to wait 10 more months i might as well wait 12 and rent it.
Because think about it for a sec. Noone that hasnt watched any of the other movies is ganna get up outa nowere and be like " you no what..Im ganna watch this one", no, all their money comes from the fans that have been waiting forever already. Heck, they could've released it on Christmas day that we'd all be out there in the snow waiting in line..but they choose to step on us instead.
So I say...treat your fans like shit, then u deserve shit.

I think another reason they're pushing it back is because of Twilight,which has now taken over HBP's original release date in November.

For non-Twilight readers like me,I'm very upset and mad. 11 months? I would of been fine if it was January or something..but not almost a whole year again. I think they're going to be making alot less money than they think they're going to get..

I think the reason for this is the book that will be published in December, so they though that this might satisfy the "hanger" of the HP audience and keep them on for another year. For surre they didn't wated two HP stuff in the same period.

I say people need to pirate the movie rather than go see it in theaters.

One person not seeing it isn't going to hurt them most.

One person selling over 9000 illegal copies is.

Well, it pisses me off. I think my best friend put it best :

"But I have it written in my planner... in PEN!!"

Ah, the outrage.

Siriusly, I would love to see some reason behind this. I buy the Twilight one [there's a lot of Twilight demography that's part of Harry Potter as well]. But still.

Harry Potter.
Twilight.
The whole world v. a bunch of lovesick teenage girls.

Guess who's going to be more mad when their movie is pushed back...

You've already heard the damned reason behind this.

"We think if we release this in summer we're going to maximize our profits. **** the fans, just give us our money."

They said they've been planning on changing the date for a few weeks..yet they still release the trailer while 'thinking about it'?

I highly doupt that they'll be making more money..less is more like it.

They also said they care about 'their fans and don't want to hurt the series' but...making a change like that..hurts the Harry Potter fans (not WB's fans -.-) and the series since they aren't working on the movie at all.

Ah well. I'm a cynic dreaming of being an idealist.

It doesn't matter when they release it, people will still flock to it, (I'd be willing to wager the majority of the people who have claimed otherwise here), even if it were delayed by two years.
