Well it looks like Hollywood abhors a vacuum.
It took all of 24 hours for another movie to swoop in and occupy the date formerly occupied by Harry Potter 6. And while those fans are steaming, another set of fans are going to be very, very happy. A highly anticipated movie is now going to open a full month sooner than expected…
Twilight.

Queue high pitched screaming and squeals of delight. 
Originally Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was scheduled to open on November 21, 2008 but yesterday was pushed back eight months to July 2009. Scheduling release dates is a chess game between studios, vying for not only the ideal weekend but scheduling blockbusters far apart enough so that one film does not deprive another of precious box office dollars.
So having a huge film like Harry Potter vacate a cherished Thanksgiving opening must have started a feeding frenzy at other studios. Well Summit Entertainment wasted no time occupying that slot, announcing today that Twilight would now hit movie theaters a full month ahead of schedule on that same date.
So while Potter fans mourn, Twilight fans rejoice.
Twilight (now) opens on Nov. 21st, 2008.

WB is beign so unfair. I cant believe we, HP fans, must now wait almost another year.
I would go watch Twilight if it hadn’t stolen HP date. haha. now i just hate it!
I loved the book and im sure the film will be good too… Hopefully!
Does anyone know whether it is 19th december or 9th January?
I am very confused D:
Want to see it as soon as possible though. Edward was my favourite character in the book but i dont know if it will change at the movies ;]
*sigh* unfortunatly, anahi, as I have read both series of books, but am a bigger fan of harry potter… I must go see Twilight! I doubt my life will ever be complete if I don’t. I love Twilight with all of my heart. But I love Harry Potter with a total of 100000 hearts. I must go see Twilight, even though I am mad at it for stealing Harry’s spot…I am a big fan.
they both rock but july seriously why
I LOVE TWILIGHT SOOO MUCH!!!

i am so mad that hp was moved back and twilight took its spot though i still enjoyed it but hp is way better in my opinion
Robs got looks, but he’s got no voice. You’ll know what I mean if you listen to his song on the twilight sound track, ”Never Think”
harry potter sux!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i dont know how ppl could watch tht!!!Twilight is wayyy better its like the best movie ever!!!!!!!!!
Twilight was the best movie I have ever seen in my entire life it roxxxxxxxxx! My mom is now buying the movie for me ang getting me all of the books. But i cant beleve they are makeing a new one. “NEW MOON”! Edward cant leave bella!!
Harry Potter was moved because they wanted a summer release so I guess Twilight just took the spot. Why not?
Twilight was orignally supposed to be a small indie film. It was a VERY LOW BUDGET one at that. So, of course it wasn’t that good as Harry Potter. But since I’m a fan, I still loved it no matter.
I’m really looking forward to the next Harry Potter movie though and of course it will be better than Twilight was. x)
