The PLAN

Carol:
But thanksgiving is a holiday only in America (Canadian thanksgiving
is about a month earlier, IMO, and other countries don't celebrate the
holiday at all) whereas July 17 is right in the middle of summer
vacation for just about everyone. The kids will be out of school for a
month and a half to two months after the release date instead of just
two days plus a weekend (in one country) for November 21.

Unless I'm mistaken, the movie is being delayed everywhere, not just
in the U.S. (If I'm wrong, and we Americans are the only ones who
won't get to see it in November, I *will* be upset!

Carol, who agrees with Alla that money is WB's primary motive but
thinks that summer is a better bet than a U.S. holiday for drawing
kids and teenagers to movie theaters worldwide
Alla:
Yes I know that Thanksgiving is a holiday only in America. As far as 
I know and I can be wrong, I am too lazy in the morning to double 
check the sources, but I am pretty sure that for example folks in 
Australia were *already* getting a movie couple months later than we 
are, and maybe some other countries too, so Thanksgiving certainly 
played no part in it.
I believe that they still will be getting movie a month or too later 
so again, school out may not be significant?
And the best part of course and it was mentioned several time on 
Leaky, but again I cannot find a link that PoA which was released in 
the summer grossed **less** than the HP Movies that were released in 
November, so I think school out again is not very significant factor, 
IMO of course.
