| | |  Confirmed: Half-Blood Prince IMAX release date delayed (UPDATED)
It is being reported that the IMAX release of Half-Blood Prince has been delayed by two weeks, to July 29th; it was originally set to be shown in IMAX theatres the same day as conventional theatres in the US: July, 15, 2009. The reason for the change of date is as follows: Quote:
The film will open in 35mm theaters on the 15th; however, it will not open in IMAX theaters until the 29th. Basically what happened is IMAX Corporation signed a contract with Paramount guaranteeing them a 4 week exclusive window if they filmed parts of Transformers 2 with IMAX cameras onto IMAX film (something that is quite a bit more expensive). Unfortunately that was back when Harry Potter was due to open November 2008 and when Warner Bros. pushed back the opening date Paramount was not willing to renegotiate the contract it had signed with IMAX.
We are currently awaiting confirmation from Warner Bros. on this news, so please stay tuned for further developments.
Source: Harry Potter Fan Zone UPDATE: The Wall Street Journal has confirmed the news, adding that one IMAX in New York and another in Los Angeles, will play the film from July 14th. Thanks to HPANA for the link!  | |

That's too bad about the late start; however, I'll watch the regular movie first, and then a couple of weeks later, I'll definitely watch the IMAX. The IMAX experience is just awesome. Can't wait!! | |

The film isn't entirely 3D, but some scenes are.

I heard from somewhere it was $30! And I was like WHAT?!
Now I know I can go to see the movie in IMAX... but someone needs to take me.. Lol

That sucks, but I'll see it opening day, and it'll give me an excuse to see it again.

If nothing else, that will mean quite a few of us watching the film twice.

WOW!!! Some people in New York will get to see the film a day early! I'm jealous! This news doesn't really affect me much since I wasn't going to see it in Imax on the day it was released. As long as I can see the movie...I can wait to see it in Imax. Only 38 days to go!!  | |
