    I missed the first one... can't say I enjoy them ruining my childhood memories like that. Think I'll miss the second one as well.
  • Marcus · 6 months ago
    won't it have a 3D ending like the last one in IMAX?
  • JP62 · 6 months ago
    I believe it will be at the beginning this time.
  • bret · 6 months ago
    oh well, ill just see it in 35mm and then in imax later
  • Sergemeister · 6 months ago
    Sweet pic, I think Harry Potter would be a welcome addition to the Transformers cast.
  • Eric_B · 6 months ago
    Lol, WB fail.

    Still, with a film like Transformers, why would anyone see that in IMAX over HP? I mean, I've never really got why they put the HP series into IMAX. Never felt like it was THAT big
  • dcfemella · 6 months ago
    Harry Potter is one of the only movies that I am looking forward to this year, and now I have to wait even longer? Sniff.
  • doc · 6 months ago
    Harry Potter sucks anyway... its filled with crappy acting.
  • Dan · 6 months ago
    Harry Potter movies have Ralph Feinnes, Gary Oldman, David Thewlis, Alan Rickman, and Michael Gambon


    Transformers has Shia Lebouf.


    What's that you said about crappy acting?
  • andy · 6 months ago
    you forgot Maggie Smith!
  • Kaimelar · 5 months ago
    Agree with that... Who's lookinf for acting in transformeres anyway?? I'm looking for robots and Megan Fox hahahah. Anyway I like both series, huge fan of potter books, fo of course i'm expecting the 6th film anxiously
  • justinbobby · 5 months ago
    megan fox is a joke...
  • rafaelito · 5 months ago
    I'm wondering what movies for you have good acting because one of the things of HP movies is the kids are more mature and the acting gets better and better.
  • Jennifer · 6 months ago
    LOL awwwee cry me a river potter fans
  • Josh · 6 months ago
    This story is wrong, Harry Potter will have 3D sequences only in IMAX
  • Anrkist · 6 months ago
    Might want to reread the article. While the sentence could have been written a little better to be more implicit about the fact... I got it.
  • charles · 6 months ago
    I think I'm going to see Transformers 2 now.
  • Anti-Septic · 6 months ago
    Screw Harry Potter, make me wait another 8-9 months for a July release date. Its actually what they deserve. I'll probably see it on regular screen as my daughter is a fan, but I wont wait extra weeks to see or pay for an Imax viewing.

    Transformers is what I am interested in.
  • ymax · 6 months ago
    Maybe it's just me, but Harry Potter seems like a movie I'd be okay with watching in a normal theater while Transformers 2 is something I don't wanna miss in IMAX.
  • mtv · 6 months ago
    One thing you all forget transformers is cut like an mtv music video. Only an idiot would go see it
    in Imax unless you enjoy having a major eye headache. Bring plenty of drammamine
  • mtv · 6 months ago
    Y
    You're all forgettng transformers is cut like an Mtv music video. If you're seeing this on realmax than you either enjoy getting eye aches or you've come prepared with drammamine. Either way your paying to be hurt. Even cameron toned down the rapid cutting for Avatar cause he knows
    he doesn't want to make the audience sick.
  • Javin_Bell · 6 months ago
    Harry Potter movies aren't the most impressive things I've seen, but compared to Transformers 2? The first movie sucked. The second movie will suck. Michael Bay movies suck. How do people get suckered into this? I hate Shia. I question seeing any movie he is in. I even wondered about Indy 4 and I now wish I had gone with my gut instinct and not watched that travesty.
  • Richard · 6 months ago
    You suck shit man you take that back about bay, Go on watch your harry potter shit dickhead
  • Davebaxter1989 · 6 months ago

    BOOO!!!! I saw HP5 in IMAX in Mexico (closest IMAX) and I thought the 3D sequence was the best. I then saw it in 35mm and it was not that same experience. Hopefully in Mexico they won't delay it.

    I really don't mind the wait for this but I have to say, whoever did the work to make the image at the top of this article is awesome.

    thanks
  • Peter Sciretta · 6 months ago
    thanks. sometimes my bad photoshop skills produce something passable :)
  • Malick663 · 6 months ago
    I'm not looking forward to Harry Potter or Transformers. Bring on Shutter Island, The Informant, A Serious Man, Avatar, etc!
  • Dan · 6 months ago
    Ugh, what a stupid move. Harry Potter >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Transformers.
  • Michestellar · 6 months ago
    Goddamn it. The next thing I'm going to hear is that all of the reels were taken by a giant horde pterodactyls and they're going to have to reshoot the entire film.
  • tone · 6 months ago
    good. id rather see transformers 2x instead of harry potter once.
  • Boxoffice Marco · 6 months ago
    If the Transformers IMAX run ends on July 22nd, why does Harry Potter have to wait an extra week to get started on the 29th? Couldn't WB bring in Harry Potter on the 22nd after the Transformers contract expires, delaying the film by only a week instead of two?
  • Johan · 6 months ago
    NO, no noooo! Fuck Warners! I was planning to catch Transformers in it´s last week on Imax and then see Harry Potter first day relase on Imax too. It was going to be a sweet summer. I can´t travel to the city with Imax theaters twice. Fuck you Warners! And fuck you Paramount too. You greedy fucks! Two weeks is enough for Transformers on Imax. You ruined my summer.
  • Crazyman · 6 months ago
    yea 4 real dude, i mean star trek was fuckin amazing and it only had 2 weeks in imax
  • Johan · 6 months ago
    Well, dude over here in Europe they didn´t even show Star Trek where I live and it isn´t even that small a city, so I had to travel to another city... You guys in the states are lucky. At least I´m quite sure I´ll catch both Transformers and Avatar on quite big screens.
  • WhoCares? · 6 months ago
    ...It's just a fun summer movie- They didn't make Optimus Prime a hybrid or something. It's not like this movie is desecrating the show or the toys: the show was made to sell toys in the first place- to make money- just like this movie is doing.

    Geez. Maybe the next Transformers film won't be the awful suckfest that the first one was. Maybe there won't be any John Turturro in his underwear. Maybe there won't be fat guys running through glass. Maybe there won't be FREAKING TRANSFORMERS RUNNING AROUND HIDING LIKE THE THREE STOOGES. Probably not. The 'Harry Potter' films "suck" however because they're not about giant robots.
    Any of you who are deluding yourself that Michael Bay knows how to make a good film have been in denial since 'The Rock.' The 'Harry Potter' films have gotten better and better and are actually more serious and dramatic than Transformers. Something must be backwards in the world.
    Besides, what kind of a D-Bag that actually cares about 'Transformers 2' isn't going to see it in IMAX in the first two weeks?
    I understand that a contract is a contract, but all of you who say that Potter sucks need to get some taste. The fact that you keep going to and supporting crappy popcorn like Michael Bay's nonsense makes you part of the problem.

    Dude transformers did the good parts well. The end battle scene was the biggest rapage my eyes had ever seen. Don't deny it...

    The first Transformers was just a cartoon on steroids and a high budget commercial for Hasbro and Chevy. I'm not saying that the Potter movies are instant classics, but at least they have a plot and the characters have some depth. Many Potter movie fans have also read the books. You CAN'T say that about Transformers fans because it's based on cheap toys that turned into a lousy cartoon. Then again, anyone that liked the first Transformers have probably never read a book because they spent their time playing with their robot dolls and watching cartoons. I bet you can't wait for the Stretch Armstrong movie to come out. Shut your big Yappers!!!
  • hiker545 · 6 months ago
    booted again! and even on the 29 its limited areas, not at any of the 7 Imax's with in driving rage of us. Good news, guess I'll save money and they loose. sigh
  • PhantomAR · 6 months ago
    Oh, it's big for IMAX don't worry. The magics coming throughout, the brooms and etc.. just wait for it! :)
  • MBF · 5 months ago
    IDIOTS!!!! They pushed it back so long that it lost its momentum and now we cant even see the premiere in IMAX? Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

    At this point, I am so disgusted, I dont even want to see it anymore.
  • KLJ · 5 months ago
    This is crap, especially since Transformers 2 sucked so much. I feel like I was ripped off, and I got free tickets to Transformers 2...it sucked that bad. HP6 is what I want to see in IMAX, not crap!
  • K Weaver · 5 months ago
    Good way to get people to see it at least twice. I know I'll be ponying up for both releases!
  • Chris · 5 months ago
    I won't go see Transformers 2 in the theaters because I think this is a bad choice. People have been waiting years for the newest Harry Potter and I have personally gone to see the last two in IMAX during the first few days of it's premiere week. I'm voting with my dollars.
  • Morgana · 5 months ago
    I hate seeing movies when they 1st come out anyways. I'll gladly wait til most everyone who is dying to see it settles for 35mm and will be comfortable in a not overpacked IMAX 3D theater once it comes out.
  • Name · 5 months ago
    probably not
  • seancarter · 5 months ago
    i think harry potter and the half blood prince should go on the imax screen this weekedend. the reason i say that is because people want to see the movie now not later and they are not willing to pay lots of money to see some scenes in 3d
  • Laurence Padaoan · 5 months ago
    hella yea ill wait until the Harry Potter the half blood prince come out on july 29 for the 3D. They never done this before in this sequel, i want to experience the sepense so close up!!
  • mellodi · 5 months ago
    HARRY POTTER 6 SUCKED BUTT!
