New Half-Blood Prince release date confirmed: July 15, 2009 (UPDATE #3)
 
Warner Bros has announced that the release date for Half-Blood Prince has been moved up, from the original date of July 17th, 2009 to Wednesday, July 15th, 2009 in the US.

UPDATED:
The date change has been confirmed for the United States by Warner Bros. We are currently awaiting word on the UK release.

UPDATE #2: For those of you wondering why this change has occured, The Associated Press spoke to Warner Bros. head of distribution Dan Fellman;

Quote:

"Every day the kids are out of school in summer is just like an extra Saturday," Fellman said.
Thanks to Mugglenet for the link!

UPDATE #3: A story with Reuters UK further explains the move;

Quote:

"We just wanted to wait to get a look at the competitive environment before doing it," Warner Bros. president Dan Fellman said Wednesday. "But the last one opened up to $44 million on a Wednesday, so there's certainly no reason not to do it this time."

:woot: YAY!!!!!!!!! I get to watch it before I go to the beach on vacation! :woot:

MeredithRodneyMckay 04-14-2009 09:21 PM

As much as that is good news,ummm...what's the point of moving it forward by only 2 days? :blink:

Course now all the piccy's and promo's they sent out saying 17th July will be wrong,just like the ones that said November before. :lol:
I don't know why I find that funny...

Don't get me wrong,though,I am excited that it's nearer than before! :D

Padie 04-14-2009 09:21 PM

Two days, huh? I suppose that's better than nothing *sigh* I do wonder what the release dates will be internationally, though.

MunchyBubbles 04-14-2009 09:23 PM

Hooray!!! It's been moved up!! I can't wait to see it!!
though I totally though it was coming out in June!! My bad!

lavender_07 04-14-2009 09:30 PM

I really hope they don't move it again :/

I was planning on going over for the premiere

*is sad*

Abbie Lynne 04-14-2009 09:30 PM

OMG! A whopping two days! Let's all go nuts! Ahhhhhh!
No.

Whats the point?
*sighs*
Well, it's better than nothing. At Least they didn't move it further away.

How about they release it in May! How about May first, my birthday! Now that would be sweet!

Wolf Girl 04-14-2009 09:34 PM
