HP was intended to bow in regular theaters and IMAX simultaneously. Box office figures have shown the studios actaully do better numbers that way - certainly a bigger take goes to the studio at the front end. More people go to see a film the first weekend, they want those high dollar IMAX ticket prices factored in the opening frame.

However, in HP's case, the movie was delayed from a Christmas release to a summer release, and Transformers 2 already had the IMAX theaters locked up for a month run. The two week gap was the soonest they could get HP & THBP into IMAX.

Hollywood and WB are guilty of many things, but this is not one of them.

Moreover, I will see it when it opens. If it's good, I'll happily see it again in IMAX.
