LOS ANGELES (AP) - Warner Bros. 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 rather than Nov. 21, the studio
said Thursday.
Studio President and Chief Operating Officer Alan Horn says the
studio has had success with past summer "Harry Potter" releases,
including the fifth movie. Horn also says the Writers Guild of
America strike had "impacted the readiness of scripts for other
films - changing the competitive landscape for 2009 and offering
new windows of opportunity that we wanted to take advantage of."
