The Half-Blood prince delay continues to affect other movies

There’s an interesting article in the LA Times on how the delay of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is delaying other movies. For example, animated 3-D comedy “Bolt,” the vampire thriller “Twilight,” the James Bond adventure “Quantum of Solace,” and the epic romance “Australia” have all been shifted around to fill the gapp left by Half-Blood Prince. Here’s a good quote that I think pretty much sums it up:

“Harry Potter is a box-office force that everybody has to work around,” said Rob Friedman, co-chairman and chief executive of Summit. “Once the Warner guys decided to move it into 2009, a big vacuum — and a big opportunity — was created.”

Argh. I’m still ticked that they moved it back so far, aren’t you? I was so looking forward to this movie in November!!!!
