Some are a bit concerned that due to a scheduling conflict, the next Harry Potter won’t be in wide release in Imax until two weeks after the general release.
Shares of Imax dropped 4% on Monday to $7.31 after a Wall Street analyst said the delay “should negatively impact Imax boxoffice results.”

well, it WAS Warner’s decision to bump Potter from a November initial opening to July, why should ‘Transformers 2’ suffer??
