That's fine with me. But why would they move it to a
Wednesday? Wouldn't they get more profit on a Friday?

What the hell? Why do they keep changing the dates?! And What is up with Wednesdays and Thursdays? Since when does any film come out on a Wednesday or Thursday?
WB are doing something weird. Maybe it's to get more money opening weekend? But I don't get how that would work..

Why are they changing the dates so often? Doesn't matter to me since I'm not in the US but I really wonder what this is all about. Maybe they're trying to play the box office numbers game.

Paper Cut, movies come out on Wednesdays all the time. Spiderman 3 came out on a Wednesday. As for Thursday, I've never heard of that one before.

YAY this is awesome. Well if its true i mean like two days earlier might not seem like much fot most people but us who have been waiting for movie five to come out since we read the book this is like two years earlier. Now i really cant wait. I wonder if they will realease it on Tuesday 8p.m. like they did for Shrek 3 and Pirates 3 because they sold soo many advance tickets. YAY i am sooo happy i cant wait now for the movie to come out. YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Hmm... well, after waiting several years, two days earlier won't really make that much of a difference to me. I'm much more excited about the book anyway :D

All the films (even the big ones) usually come out in thursdays so i'm not really surprised to be honest. Still i'll be one of the first ones to watch it around here (at least i intend to, even though half of my friends can't stand me taking about his film all the time eheh).

No real surprise in my mind. The last book is coming out very soon after the movie. I think they want to have as much of the fan base in the bag as early as possible. There will be no fans seeing the movie the week that the book comes out. Puching out earlier only makes sense.

That's interesting. I wonder if they changed it because they thought nobody would go to see it on Friday the 13th?

Well I can't complain since I get to see it earlier but I agree that it is kind of stupid since they will lose money toward the weekend numbers and keep it from making any weekend records.

This is odd. I guess I'll have to see it twice in one week. I'll go Wed. at midnight and again Friday when I am having a Harry Potter party with my friends. I can be braindead at work. I usually am.

Seriously, why is everybody saying this is a bad thing???? Just because it gets released before Friday doesn't mean you have to see it before then, you can still have your parties. And why does it matter how much money it might lose by starting Wednesday? I just care about seeing it, not how much money it makes...
