[HPFGU-Movie] Anyone planning on boycotting opening week of HP 6?

[Child of Midian]

They didn't pull it to make "more" money, they pulled it to keep it off
their 2008 balance sheet. As a publically traded company, if they make more
money one year than the last it's viewed as a "loss" and since Batman made
sooooooooooooooooooooooo much last year they decided that 2009 had too weak
a slate to equal both Batman and HPB in the same year.

 

They held the movie strictly so 2008 would not be a bigger year than 2009. 

 

I won't go opening weekend, it's just a movie and my daughter was all
excited to see it in fall and they told a million children to f* - off so
they could manipulate their earnings reports.

 

That was just wrong.

Honestly, I'm not waiting. I'll definitely be there opening night, hopefully
at midnight. I understand the principle behind it but I don't think there's
anyway they're NOT going to have a blockbuster weekend. Regardless of when I
see it they will be #1 so why should I miss it, especially when I've been
waiting SO long?! 

Just wondering if anyone is still steamed at WB for pulling HBP last fall so
they could make more money on a summer release? I haven't seen much
discussion of it so I thought I would ask.

I plan on staying away that week just on principle, after all I have waited
this long-what is a few more days?

I think WB should be taken down a peg or two for being such money grubbing
toadies. I guess for me it was the timing, they waited until the trailers
for the movie had been posted all over the net and then pulled the plug.
Seemed very arbitrary and calculating to me.

What does everyone here think?
