| | |  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."

Tactical announcement, probably. Gives other studios less time to try and re-shuffle their films, in order to compete.

ARGH! Sorry, but why is an English film only give America the benifits? I hate this, it's unfair and just not right.

"Every day the kids are out of school in summer is just like an extra Saturday," Fellman said.
What type of reason is that?!?!

British schools don't start their summer holidays until later.

Ha ha. I love how Warner Bros. admits to marketing to kids right there in that AP quote. 
Tis true though, two days can make a lot of difference money-wise. Quote:

Because the studio producing it is American? Good point though.

You know, though...someone was just saying how the UK got "17 Again" a week ago, and the USA is getting it tomorrow. I'm not sure how that works. *shrugs*
Either way, I can't wait for HBP! It feels like we've been waiting forever, though.

They should still be ashamed of themselves for pushing it back so far in the first place for no other reason other than pure money (then having the gaul to actually come out and say pretty much that in public).

It makes sense, especially since it's a money game.
