I support this petition. They should release the movie as scheduled. July is when the movie would be coming out on dvd, not theaters. Me and other fans want it as originally scheduled. I cannot wait another year for this movie. Split the movie into 2 and show us one part in November and the second in July if you want more money.
i completely support these move. Warner bros are making a big mistake. We all know that Hong Kong has a lot of pirate dvds!! (ps) coz i gave you my email does that mean any1 can see it and that i will get spammed???
I understand there's no need for another blockbuster this year, WB, but... think of all the HP fans that'll die from November to July that won't be able to enjoy another HP movie because of you! =( It's just kinda sad. I COULD BE ONE OF THEM. God forbid.
I support this petition.
We all know that WB is NOT GOING TO WORK ON THE MOVIE. IT'S FINISHED. so they're just gonna hold onto it for nearly a year. Bullsh*t, not having it.
I support this petition. I think it's unbelievable that they are delaying the release that, even when it's perfectly clear that post-production is FINISHED.
Why does everything have to be about money?! We've been waiting for this movie forever.
I have been mad about a lot of different things in my life and I've been disappointed plenty. But I must say I have never been more angry or more disappointed then I am tonight upon learning that WB has chosent to move back Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince until next July. This is the most disgusting showing of GREED I have ever heard of and with a fandom as large as Harry Potter has, well WB you have just tickled a sleeping dragon and we will have our voices heard!
i call bull**** on this! theyre not pushing it back b/c of "the writer's strike,"...y would they do that if the film is finished?
they just assume that the film wont be able 2 compete w/ Twilight!
i think we should refuse to see it if we have 2 wait that long! And movie 5 was a total let down! If they dnt think it can compete, then y waste my money on going 2 c it at all? ill just wait and download it if thats how its gonna be!
There is no good reason for moving the date back, except for the movie company to make more money off a summer release. This is bogus, and disrespectful to all fans. It just shows what corporate people are like. Money-hungry jerks.
i hope this petition comes to wb. they really need to see that everybody is PISSED OFF AT THEM FOR BEING SO SELFISH. if they play it in july, it won't make a difference in how much money they make. if they need a gap to be filled, move some other movie!!!!!!! one that millions and millions of people were not waiting to see FOR OVER A YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I support this petition.wtf WB wanna push it to July??? that's so selfish...Mr. Horn said he already watch the film..so why cant he just proceed with the initial date rather than waiting 11 months for a movie that he know he will make money out of it???
What exactly do they think they are doing?! They know and trust that the FANS will see it anyway, whenever they release it - what they are after are the "extra" people (and extra millions they bring) who go to see more movies at summer. Pushing the release for ELEVEN MONTHS? Don't they realize it's gonna piss off some of the fans, a LOT...to the point that some of them might boycott? Well, they don't care - they want a summer release, and what's a few fans getting disappointed...
I support this petition.
what the alsr30998v7084zx(*^vu9*D&*(V !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 move the date back to november! what is so special about EFFING SUMMER it doesnt make the movie sell better !!!! SELFISH WB you just want the moneyyyyyy! you just lost tons of harry potter fans you LOSERSSSS!!!!!!!!
seriously? like pushing it to the summer will help make more money? it's HARRY POTTER. people are going to line up to buy tickets for it no matter WHAT SEASON you release it in. if the movie's ready, i don't see a reason to push it back. so disappointing.
Mr. Horn: “Our reasons for shifting ‘Half-Blood Prince’ to summer are twofold: we know the summer season is an ideal window for a family tent pole release, as proven by the success of our last Harry Potter film, which is the second-highest grossing film in the franchise, behind only the first installment."
Reasonable people: Winter is just as good as a time for a movie to come out as in the summer. If they really want to market Half Blood Prince as a family movie, wouldn't thanksgiving be a prefect time to release it? Thanksgiving is a time when families come together. Perfect. And really, this is not a kid's movie. I mean, did you see the trailer? WB can only get away with the family theme for so long.
Their logic about summer releases making more money because Order of the Phoenix was the second highest earning of the films is bullshit. They happened to release a popular movie in the summer. And note that it wasn't the first on the list. However, the first highest grossing of them was, guess what, released right around Thanksgiving.
Jeff Robinov: “The release date change does not alter the production schedule for this or future Harry Potter films. Post-production on ‘Half-Blood Prince’ was completed on time...In fact, the good news for them is that the gap will now be shortened between ‘Half-Blood Prince’ and the first part of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.’”
People who think before talking: So the film would be ready in time. So let it be released! And we were all fine with the release date for Deathly Hallows, so don't try to use that as an excuse.
Mr. Heyman: "We are all looking forward to sharing it with Harry Potter fans around the world, even if we have to wait just a bit longer.”
Offended fans: Yea right. You just want the money. If you cared about the fans, you wouldn't have changed the date.
I support this petition. get that shit on da screen already and it better be good too shit...we all know know dumbledore dies so no point in putting it off.
