While I respect anyone who decides not to see HBP at theaters on
principal due to how WB delayed the opening for the summer, imo,
I don't believe that this will have that much of a reduction in revenue
for WB from the film.  What I do believe may hurt WB is the fact
that they totally screwed up when they picked the new date that
prevents IMAX theaters from showing the film on opening day due
to an exclusive 4-week contract that IMAX has with Paramount to
show "Transformers 2" for 4 weeks.  This delays the showing of
HPB at IMAX theaters by 2 weeks.

Ultimately, imo, anyone who decides not to see the film when it opens
will eventually see if, either in a theater, on DVD or TV; especially
if the reviews are very good.  WB knows that HP has a very loyal
fan base and that fans want to see the films.  This makes any kind
of a significant boycott very difficult to establish or sustain.  While
I was never happy that WB delayed the opening of HBP 8 months,
I still plan to see it on opening day; albeit, not an IMAX theater
as I had originally planned.
