IMAX Corporation released a very short, very pointed statement late Thursday night after news broke about the nine month delay of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth installment in the Harry Potter film series.

Trying to keep things upbeat, IMAX says they’re confident a replacement will be found for Harry Potter on the super-big screen this holiday season.

“Reflecting today’s announcement that the release date of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has moved to July 2009, IMAX Corporation confirmed it is already exploring alternative titles for this year’s holiday season and is confident it will secure a solid film for the IMAX theatre network.”

“The Company looks forward to announcing a replacement film as soon as possible.”

I bet you 10 bucks it’s Twilight. Twenty?

    If it is Twilight, that will make me so happy! Harry potter has ruled the IMAX long enough. Bring on the sexy vampires (especially Edward!)!

    PS: Im not slamming hp; I like it too. I just think Twilight is a better read.
