Post Half-Blood Prince release date pushed back to summer 2009 (UPDATE #2)

Warner Brothers have today announced that the Half-Blood Prince release date is to be pushed back to summer 2009. The release date will now be July 17th 2009.

Quote:
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.”
Quote:
Commenting on the release date change for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” David Heyman, the producer of all the Harry Potter films, offered, “When Jeff Robinov explained the rationale behind moving the release date of ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’ to July 2009, it was immediately apparent that this offered us the potential to reach the widest possible audience. I am extremely proud of this latest film and of the work of David Yates and our incomparable cast; I believe we have developed and pushed the series further still. We are all looking forward to sharing it with Harry Potter fans around the world, even if we have to wait just a bit longer.”
The official website for the film has been altered to reflect the change in release date.

UPDATE: A new statement from Alan Horn, Warner Bros. president and chief operating officer has emerged;

Quote:
"The picture is completely, absolutely, 100 percent on schedule, on time. There were no delays. I've seen the movie. It is fabulous. We would have been perfectly able to have it out in November."
Quote:
"We would never do anything to hurt one of the movies or the series. We love our fans."
UPDATE #2: Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. head of distribution, spoke early Sunday about the decision to change the release date for the sixth film.

Quote:
The studio had been considering the date change for three or four weeks, "but it really didn't kind of get on the front burner until sometime within the last seven days," Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. head of distribution, said Sunday.

i think that all the harry potter fans all over the world should unite against the executives at warner bros, and show them that we control how much money they make and that they have to do what we want, if not together we can make sure that they have to listen to us!!!!! we should unite together!!!!!! power to the audience!!!!!

That's not true; the Tales of Beedle the Bard gets released just before Christmas.

yes but you cannot compare those two. everyone has been counting the days for over a year, and now when HPB was only a few months away they decide to push it back for over 8 months. there are petitions all over the internet, i don't think that will help but you never know. as for tales of beedle the bard i already preordered it, and can't wait to read it! i just hope that we can somehow make them changed there minds, especially since the film is already finished

I hate to say tis, because I've already got my copy on order, but whoop-de-flipping-do. It's not Potter-related in the purest sense. And I'm still mulling over mailing a fwe of my father's stink bombs to WB.

its redic that they set the date back. they just want to get more money. it doesnt matter if they release it in Nov or next summer the Potter Fans will go see it when ever. Having it come out in the summer wont be any different. They saw how much the Dark Knight got them and thats all they care about

I was so surprised and angry when I heard the news. They do have their reasons, but I still don't like it. I've been waiting for it for months, since I saw Order of the Phoenix, and now it gets pushed back 8 months. I can't wait until July 2009! That's a long time to wait for Harry Potter fans.
