Harry Potter Prince
‘Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince’ Gets Limited July 15 IMAX Opening
Harry Potter fans had reason to hate Transformers earlier this month when they learned the IMAX release of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” would be delayed because of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.” That robo-blockbuster sequel has the majority of IMAX screens booked solid for a whole month, meaning that when “Half-Blood Prince” opens on July 15 the Autobots and Decepticons will still be battling on the bigger screens, leaving us with only normal-sized Potter for a couple weeks.
That is, unless you’re lucky enough to live in New York, Chicago or Los Angeles. Those are the only three cities in which a giant-sized boy wizard can be seen as early as opening day, including now-standard midnight screenings the night before.
Collider has discovered the three specific locations: NYC’s AMC Loews Lincoln Square, Chicago’s Henry Crown Space Center at the Museum of Science and Industry (which is also currently displaying a Harry Potter exhibit) and LA’s Century City IMAX, which I hear is one of those smaller IMAX screens.
The latter two theaters appear to be selling tickets for the film already, so if you’re in their respective cities, or you have the means to get there (and you’re a big enough Potter fan), you’ll want to purchase yours immediately. Judging by past major IMAX release, those shows will likely sell out in advance. Then you’ll have to wait until “Potter”’s July 29 wide IMAX opening for your giant-sized wizarding action.
Being so patient will be hard if you’re a true fan. After all, the first 12 minutes of “Half-Blood Prince” have been converted for the larger format, and many capable IMAX screens will also be showing that stretch in 3D. You’ve already had to wait an extra seven months for this sequel after Warner Bros. delayed the film’s opening last November. Then again, maybe you’ve gotten better at holding out after the delay and could actually stand to wait another month. Or you could just go see “Potter” on a normal-sized screen on July 15. Just saying….
Will you be one of the lucky few to see “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” in IMAX on opening weekend? How far will you Potter fans travel to see this version? Will you settle to see the movie in normal size first and then see it in IMAX, or could you stand waiting until July 29?
