Dagnabbit…. as seen on the newswires:
Time Warner Inc.’s Warner Bros. studio says it’s bumping "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" from its planned November release into next summer.
The sixth installment in the blockbuster franchise about boy wizard Harry now will open July 17, 2009 rather than Nov. 21, 2008 the studio said Thursday.
My wife and I were planning on celebrating our anniversary this November with a quiet holiday at home…and a trip over to a nearby multiplex theater which has an IMAX screen.
The article continues on to mention that the aftermath of the writers’ strike has left next summer’s movie season a bit sparser than normal. So, given an opportunity to boost revenues, the studio will have us wait an extra eight months.
