| | |  Deathly Hallows: Part 2 to play in Indonesia theatres after tax import law change
Officials have confirmed that by the end of July, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 will finally be released in the nation of Indonesia. Prior to the announcement, issued today, Indonesia could not release foreign movies in theatres due to a massive tax on imported films that caused Hollywood studios to boycott their distribution overseas. The Asian nation was one of few remaining to not have featured the final installment of the Harry Potter series in local theatres. 
The Associated Press issued the following this morning. An official says Hollywood studios have agreed to screen several summer blockbusters including the final "Harry Potter" movie in Indonesian theaters. The decision could signal a softening of major studios' boycott of the country.
Head of the Indonesian Cinema Companies Union Djonny Sjafruddin says "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2" will hit big screens across Indonesia before Aug. 1.
He said Monday that "Transformers 3" and "Kung Fu Panda 2" would also be released during the next several weeks.
Five months ago major Hollywood studios withdrew films from Indonesia, a nation a 237 million people, in opposition to a new tax on imported movies that was meant to protect local filmmakers.
Last month the government announced a revised tax.
Meanwhile, box office numbers for the weekend of July 22 were released, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 fell to the number two spot in domestic sales, bringing in an additional $48.1 million dollars, behind the new Marvel release, Captain America: The First Avenger. Deathly Hallows: Part 2 so far has made $274.2 million in the U.S. and Canada, and $834.6 cumulatively worldwide in its first nine days of release.  | |
