Mexican newspaper Mural
is reporting that Alfonso Cuarón is set to arrive in Mexico City on June 3rd to give a press conference followed by the premiere of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban according to Miguel Mallet of Warner Bros Mexico. The movie will then debut on June 4th in 550 theaters across Mexico, with most of the copies dubbed into Spanish.
According to the article Cuarón will spend two days in Mexico and then venture north to the US to start promoting the third film.
Rough translation of the article is below:
“Cuarón with Harry Potter comes”
Mexico City, Mexico (April 23th, 2004).- The producer (suppose to mean director) Alfonso Cuarón will arrive in the country on June 3rd to give a press conference and to be present at the national premier of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, his most recent film, that will be released the next day, informed Miguel Mallet, from Warner Bros Mexico.
The Mexican director will remain two days in Mexico, said Mallet, and will return to the United States to follow with the promotion of the third delivery of the saga inspired by novels of J.K Rowling.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, performed by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, revolves around a wizard that escapes from prison to kill the boy with eyeglasses.
“They borrowed us Alfonso for a few days and we are happy about it, he will come to the premier, whose place is still to be decided and he will offer a conference,” the executive commented.
The launching in Mexico will be simultaneous to the one in the United States, in 550 theatres with most of the copies dubbed to Spanish.
The premiere in Mexico follows the premieres in New York on May 23rd & May 30th in London as previously reported.

Cool, I HATE Alfonso though! I hate how he added Mexacin touches to the movie. Not that I hate Mexico, its that Harry Potter is supposed to be Harry Potter, not Harry Potter in Mexico! Grrrrr! I'm sure he did a great job on POA. June 4th is coming soon...I can't wait. Tonight the Leaf game is on...

As areogirl180 stated earlier, this is just the PREMIER, not the opening day for Mexico. I think it is good that Alfonzo's home country is getting a premier date, too, and not just the US and the UK. The movie will open in all 3 places on June 4th. Keep your shirts on!

Oh that's really not fair. I've waited a year and 4 months for this movie to come out. Those Mexicans shouldn't be allowed to see it before us because it's not a MEXICAN MOVIE! That is so unfair and I want to see it before them.

It makes sense that it's coming to Mexico before it comes here though, since the director is from Mexico and al. I think they deserve it! I've only been to Mexico once, but I am half-Mexican, so I'm proud of him!
