No way.

 

[Lancemc]

Yaweh.

 

[Lila64]

Maddy will not be a happy camper!

 

[Dalton]

Awww... where is she camping?

 

[U2girl]

What's the trailer doing out there, then ?

Maybe this is avoiding competition from Quantum Solace...

 

[Lila64]

Awww... where is she camping?

currently? In the living room. We've had lightning flashes all night long

Pushing back the release of this film is FUCKING bullshit and it pisses me right off. Whoever decided to do this must have been the same assholes who scored Shawn Johnson's balance beam routine tonight. The fuckers don't deserve employment.

Yeah, but the better HP movies come out during the summer and we got one last year, too. It's not like they're breaking up the last book into two movies or anything...

I am pissed off about the pushing back of the release date as well.

As for the balance beam routine, I was unable to watch anything last night due to no electricity!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! However, I read that she had several uncharacteristic balance checks which means deductions.

So opening in the summer somehow transforms this into a better film?

FAIL AT LOGIC.

Also, though I plan on seeing this, I couldn't care in the slightest.

No, I'm just pointing out that Azkaban and Order of the Phoenix both came out during the summer, and those are (arguably) the best of the series.

It's probably because The Dark Knight was such a huge success that they'd like to push their other big money-maker to next summer.

Isn't Christmas a big moneymaking time, too, though?

Yes, but if you've already made x amount of dollars this year, wouldn't you want to send your other huge money-maker over to a similar spot next year?

I'm only guessing here, not saying my assertions or right or anything.

Either that or they'd like to absolutely rake in the dough this year. Isn't next year looking really good for Warner Bros. too, though?

True. I can understand either decision though.

Possibly, but it looks like the legal disputes over Watchmen will end up losing Warners money next year, so maybe that could partly explain the HP move? I don't know, just spitballin' here.
