- honestly just can't wait for a SNAP! I mean Harry Potters release date was already put back so it would not competing against Twilight which they would not of been happy about. well its gonna be a case of fandom against fandom to epic situations I can see brawls over this lol but I still say Daniel will SNAP first then the fans will SNAP!!! and we will all SNAP
Can I just throw out there that Warner Brothers did not move Harry Potter so it wouldn't share revenue with Twilight? A lot of people think that WB was scared and moved the date to a "safe" summer season.
This isn't true.
There are many reasons why Harry Potter moved, but it never had anything to do with Twilight. Heck, if it hadn't moved, Twilight wouldn't have done as well. Twilight wouldn't have gotten the November 21 release date and they probably would have lost revenue to Harry Potter, not the other way around.
A large reason WB moved the money was greed. I'll be the first to stand by that. The thing that they wanted to do was to spread out their big movies. The Dark Knight did insanely well at the box office, so WB could afford to move HP back. There's also the fact of how people say that the movie wasn't done, but I think that had they needed to, they could have released it in November.
I'm sorry if it feels like I'm annoyed, but it bothers me to no end, probably because Harry Potter, in my mind and in the mind of most, trumps Twilight. To say that Harry Potter is in any way inferior to Twilight is really undermining how large of a movement Harry Potter truly was.
Okay, I know I sound defensive, but my patience with the topic has been used up. Think of Bella when Tyler asks her to prom.
By the way, I can totally see Kristen cracking first!
