'Harry Potter' IMAX date pushed back
The IMAX release for Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince has been pushed back by two weeks, it has been reported.

The sixth film in the popular franchise will arrive in general US cinemas on July 14, but will not be shown on IMAX screens until July 29, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The delay is said to be down to Warner Brother’s decision to postpone the film’s original release of November 2008, conflicting with the specialised theatres' month-long commitment to Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen.

The IMAX version of the Daniel Radcliffe-starring picture includes an additional 12 minutes of 3D footage.

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince opens in the UK on July 15.
