HBP now releasing 7/15 instead of 7/17

Bah! Why'd WB have to go and move the release date of HBP again? (Real answer: it's summer and weekdays act a lot like weekends = more box office on opening week.) Don't get me wrong, the earlier the better in one sense, but as far as Azkatraz, I'm going to lose all the personal cred I would have given myself for my very first costumed geeky opening-day midnight viewing of any movie ever. There's little point bothering to go see it a couple days earlier, either, because most of the fun was going to be sharing that fact with a bunch of other obsessed fans, and now I'm not going to be. Feh.

There is something annoying about it. They did the same thing two years ago with OotP. Why don't they just plan on a Wed. opening if they're just gonna make a history of changing it now? Might as well go ahead and reschedule DH I & II while they're at it.

For me, with being pregnant, I couldn't go to a midnight showing this year, so I was planning on just taking that FRIDAY off work and seeing it in the morning. Taking a WEDNESDAY off work is a lot more inconvenient. Stupid WB.
