| | |  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."

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. 
I don't know why I find that funny...
Don't get me wrong,though,I am excited that it's nearer than before!  Takings are recorded over an opening weekend usually - this extends that weekend period by 2 days, which will undoubtedly bump their figures.

Shouldn't they have thought of that in the first place,though?
I mean why suddenly decide now? They announced the 17th last year,could have said 15th to begin with.
That's what I don't understand.
But you know I am feeling like an idiot tonight so it could just be me.  | |
