thankful , they waited for you luv

well that's why they moved HBP to the summer, they know it will rake millions, they just want to maximize that opportunity on a season they badly needed a tentpole. and about editing trailers, posters and other promotional material, thats nothing new, they've done it plenty of times for countless other films in the past.




edit: and if i may repost what i said earlier in the thread, this clearly explains the decision behind why WB did what they've done:

I love the balls that WB is showing by essentially coming right out and saying "We're pushing this so we can make more money".

After all, the studio is hurting, let's not forget, The Dark Knight has only reached the 3rd highest grossing film of all time, I'm sure they were expecting much, much more return on that so their strategy is make up for all that lost cash on Harry.


:morons

i still think that the WB should tell everyone that it's coming out at a certain time (via Trailer) and then change it just so they will make more money in the next year. It's all just screwy.

I would laugh though if a bunch of fans went down to WB studios....

I think... I might cry. The countdown timers for the release on other sites were all saying like 98 days.... now its 335..... WB are scared that Twillight will do better, so they are making HBP wait. That way there is no competition.
They are like the Grinch. I have lost all respect for them now.

sorry// on russian sites is it - Harry Potter 6 release date

cool))

*sigh* as much as i want HBP to come out this Thanksgiving, unless that petition would give WB a replacement movie that will earn as much as Harry Potter and can be ready by July 2009 that will never happen.

yes/

I was SO outraged when I read about it. This is just plain stupid. All stupid
WB thinks about is how to make more money, and they think moving the release date to the summer will be much more a success then releasing it in November. They don't even care about the real fans. I'm terribely disappointed. Way to ruin it WB.

NOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
that is SO sad i mean we were all so happy that it was almost november then they had to kill it by moving it to next year......
oh well at least there was a good reason for it

err right the film is ready, they have merchandice out ready to go for november, and wb decide they want to make more money...

christmas is the perfict time for potter, look at this summer one block buster film (the dark night) over shadowed every film.

wb this is a mistake just so they cant make money!

Also what was the point in setting up the premier tickets and for the royal performance..

So basically were not going to see the film til next year ?

This is ridikuls!!!

Am i dreaming, please tell me i just blanked out for a couple of minutes.

What was the point in releasing the trailer less than 2 weeks before the statement. What a bunch of idiots.

Seriously.. If we get everyone to write angry emails/letters will they do anything.

Will they be changing the film at all?

This is a money scam and WB should be ashamed, FUMING!!!!!

no comments

*is very very....disappointed* (though, that's not the word)

...you and I both, my friend. This is gutting!

I'm a bit.. speechless.. Eleven months?!

oh noo!!!!! this is not fair!!!! i had been waiting like mad!!!! waah!!! waah!!!

They shouldnt be able to do that, Fans have been waiting for this for like 11 months already and now they are finding out they now have to wait another 11 months. They are only going to cause themselves more hassle because they might get alot of angry mail and they will probably get less views.


1. Yes it is extremely annoying.

2. No you did not blank out and yes it is true.

3. They are extremly annoying but they did not think about changing dates till now and they could potentialy lose millions.

4. Even though i suggested it , they will not do anything and if the messages are bad enough they will just alert the police.

5. They wont change they film because there would be no point as it is done and they have to get ready and plan the next film.

6. Yes i am not happy about this either .

I don't even know what to say.
I can't believe it.
And no, it isn't a good reason.

It's absoloutley shocking.

it just goes to show that warner brothers are just thinking about money, they don't give a damn about all us loyal fans who have waited so patiently on this movie being released and just when the movie is in sight they move it back even further, so now we have to wait nearly a year to see it now, it's a total joke.
all us potter fans should start a petition to get the movie date changed back , cause we aren't some small group of fans there is millions of us world wide. think about.

I think maybe the royal premiere is jinked.

last year it got cancelled because they thought the film 'brick lane' was too controversial.

Now this year it wont be showing HP...

coincidence, me thinks not.

Well, I would put this as calmly as possible. But I am afraid that I am incapable. I am furious at this news! How could they do that!? I was really looking forward to November!

I can't believe this!!

It's all about the money of course. They want to reach a bigger audience so that they can make more money. No surprise there. It's just a little strange that they decide to change it now after the teaser trailer and premiere dates and all are out. But whatever.

This is seriously disappointing. I was looking forward to skipping school on the 21st of November and seeing HBP. Now I'll have to wait until summer.

I'm just going to wait for the DVD or whatever - if I can wait almost a year, then another one after this, then I guess I can wait a little longer for the DVD too. I'm really, really tired of WBs shenanigans and I'm also really tired of paying twice for these movies (theatre & DVD) since the last three haven't been anything but extremely jumbled and butchered adaptations of the books anyway. The only ones I was totally please with were the first two. Shame Chris Columbus didn't do them all, because then maybe they would be worth the nearly $40 ($80 for DH) bucks in total. He seemed like the ONLY director to actually really give a hoot about the fans and making these movies as close as possible to the real story instead of the money. So I'm not double paying anymore, especially not if WB is purposely trying to get every single penny they can. I won't condone pathetically blatant, almost kidnap-like greed such as this. This company makes billions of dollars - they should maybe think about paying filthy rich actors less instead of taking it out on the loyal fans like this. So take that WB!

This CAN'T BE. Is this some really bad joke? I just read this on another site too, and I just had to check it. THIS just CAN'T be true. I'm in shock. I'm nearly crying. We've been waiting SO LONG for this....They can't do this to us! I mean, if they release a trailer late, I can live with that. But this...........
NO! The official HP site says"in theathers July 17, 2009"
Can't we make some kind of petition.
I'm Siriusly doubting if I will go to see it next year. I don't think I want to see it anymore then.

WTF!! Weve got to wait another year after weve already been waiting since last September! If this is just for publisity than thats rediculous! We all want it sooner so why don't they give it us. The films ready otherwise we wouldn't have had a trailer. I'm really annoyed now.
