Great way to kill the box office sales, Robby. I'm sure China and India will have a record sales year producing billions of knock-off copies in which Warner Brothers will not be receiving a single penny in royalties. How do you like THEM apples?!

My advice to YOU, Robby: Don't f#$% with the customer!!! We are a generation of cyber geeks infused in every level of your industry and we can get any form of entertainment for free. We only go to the theaters when we are feeling generous,... I suggest you respect us.

Can you really blame one of the biggest production companies of all time to not try and cash in one of the biggest days for films?

1) Harry Potter is, and always has been a high grossing series with a huge target demographic
2) 4th of July=huge money

1+2= seems to make sense to me.

@Rory

Hey Jack, I'm pretty sure that's Rob Delaney too. Considering he says, "Hi, I'm Rob Delaney" in the clip. :P

Feuer

Pretty funny.

who the hell cares that its post poned till next july. not a fan so i don't care. harry potter suks. yeah i said it.

Chimaera

I bet the real guys at WB are laughing their asses off.

Anti-Septic

I hope the Harry Potter film takes a giant pisser at the box office. Not a fan of the books and or the movie franchise as well. Its one thing to hold a movie because its not done, its another thing entirely to push back a movie almost an entire year because you want the July 4th weekend slot as it has the biggest possible payday of the entire season and they know that.

suck on that potter dweebs!

Meli

It's nice to hear the real reason behind the pushed back.

AHAHAHAHAHAH

The saddest fact is that this movie sounds like it's going to be crap. The audacity to leave out what they did is astounding.

Jack

I'm pretty sure that's Rob Delaney. He's pretty funny.
