The new Harry Potter movie..?

Question

The new Harry Potter movie was scheduled to be released in Nov.2008.. Why was it pulled from the fall lineup of releases? I was really looking forward to seeing it. Now we have to wait until 2009 sometime..grrrrrr

Answer 1

I think it's because they need more time. But it's gonna be AWESOME.

Answer 2

whattttt!?!? i didn't know this .. that irritates me pretty bad ..

i'm gonna look to find out for ya tho :)

edit -- ok it says that they are waiting due to the success of the last harry potter summer release -- that's ridiculous considering no matter WHEN they release it it will be watched by the same amount of people! & i love how they get us all exited and then change everything to 8 months later. wow. & november 21st is my due date, i was so exited to have it coming out on my due date. i do think with all the petitions going around and all the media stuff they might change it but i really doubt it..

Answer 3

Because due to the writer's strike, Warner Brothers didn't have a big moneymaker for next year. Since "the Dark Knight" did so much better than they expected, they didn't need a second huge hit this year. They need to worry about their stock prices next year.

Answer 4

The answer they gave was just that the July weekend that they moved it to was open and they thought it would be a great summer film to slot there. I was really dissapointed when I read that as well.  Especially since it is all on schedule and ready.  However, they did say that makes it less of a wait until the 7th (two part)  They are planning to keep that on schedule and not move it, even though they are moving this one.

Answer 5

Answer 6

It was pushed due to the fact that there are big movies due to release next summer because of the writer's strike.  (So they say!)  They didn't due it for money because all the Harry Potter's that were released in the Fall each made about 50million more dollars than the summer releases.  Plus they wouldn't want to help twilight out it is two different production companies so if it was because of Twilight it was because of the intimidation factor.

Answer 7

It is because of the Twilight Movie.

They delayed Harry Potter to release Twilight.

xD

Answer 8

Ughh, I hate them for doing this!

I was soo ready for Harry potter six to come out, but they decided to hold it until July 17th, 2009, because they'll make more money by releasing it in the summer.

Stupid cheap movie companies. On the bright side, if youre a Twilight fan, the Twilight movie has taken Harry Potter's spot and is now opening in November instead of December :-)

Answer 9

the new harry potter movie will defiantly come out in November 2008 we don't want to wait until 2009 not next year is the new harry potter movie going to be any good will it better than the order of the phoenix

Answer 10

Cause many of the filsm that were due to be released next summer were delayed because of the writers strike so they are out next winter instead and there is a spare week in july where no blockbusters are released or soemthing.  They want 2 blockbusters for next summer not just one cause they already have terminator slavtion but need another.
