The new date for Australia is 16 July, which (I haven't checked 
exactly) is likely to put this towards the very end of the 2 weeks of 
mid year school holidays. So yes, they will be out of school, for the 
opening weekend, but that's all. Still, I'd consider the takings from 
Australia to be pretty much small potatoes when compared to US and 
Europe, so I don't think it would impact WB much.
