Half-Blood Prince teaser to be with The Mummy?
Yes, the other day we did tell you that a few of those who work at movie theaters heard about the Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer premiering with The Dark Knight.Now though, we're hearing a new teaser trailer rumor. Two people within movie theaters have heard stories about the trailer coming with The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor on August 1st.
According to MuggleNet reader Kathleen, Universal pushed to have the Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer in front of Mummy to give a little boost to ticket sales. The teaser poster will be coming a week afterward. MuggleNet reader Michele tells us that her manager spoke with Warner Brothers, who told them that the trailer is to run in front of Mummy and not The Dark Knight.
Again, keep this in the rumor category for now. All of these Half-Blood Prince pictures lately is certainly a good sign of bigger things to come. As always, we'll keep you updated!

O.M.G. WTF? are you kidding me? AUGUST 1ST? this is complete bullshizz. and in front of The Mummy 3? are you serious? that's embarrassing. not only for WB but for Universal too. i mean they need a trailer to pimp their ticket sales? that's just sad. i'm not even gunna go watch The Mummy 3 even if this rumor ends up being true. i'd rather watch it online. i'm gunna go watch The Dark Knight, like the rest of the world. GOD. this better a joke. seriously. UGH. WB PISSES ME OFF. shizz.
OK, I am so tired of all this nonsense. I actually build the movie prints every week at my movie theatre. All of the trailors are either shipped in the can or attatched to the movie. And seeing that HBP is a huge release, it will be attached to whichever print it is going to be released on. I am not sure of the validity of someones manager talking to WB. But with my experience I will say that it didn't happen. Now, the people that work at the movie theatres have no idea what trailors are going to be on which movie until the wendsday before the release of the film. So I totally agree that this should be thrown into the rumor bin. I personally think that the teaser will be released with The Dark Knight. It is a huge release, so it will attract the most attention to the Trailor.
I just watched the trailer for The Mummy & was totally p/o`d when the music at the end was Order of the Phoenix`s. I mean, I know it's not THEIRS, but still - choose different music, not one that's already been used..... :/
im still holding out for dark knight.
There is NO FREAKIN WAY that I am going to sit around and wait until AUGUST !@#@#$$ for the trailer!!!!!!!!!! I will have to write a letter of complaint to Warner Brothers.... not that that would help at all!!!!! ARRRRGGGHHH We'll all just have to keep our fingers crossed that it will show with Dark Knight...
I don't really care to much about what movie the trailor comes out with I just want to see the trailor! We are long over due for it. At least we are starting to get some new pics.
woowww wtf. if they make us wait until august 1... ...someone over there is gonna get shot. WHYYYY YY WARNER BROTHERS WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!!?
hahahahah d0bbyr0cksmys0cks i totally agree ughhh you know what universal.... !#@%$@^#$@^%^#$^$^!#^$!#$ ^#%^&$%#!@$#!@$#@@#%#$@%! @#@ YOU WHY MUST YU DO THIS TO ME! I CRIED WHEN I FOUND OUT I MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL AUGUST LIKE WT!@ LIKE WE HAVENT EVEN GOTTEN A TEASER POSTER! LIKE WTF WHYYYYYYYYYYYY wahhhhhh but its totally coming out with dark knight... if it doesnt... like i said... someone over at warner brothers is getting shot. Im considering hibernating for the next 139 days....
prattdaddy2008.... i think you just saved my life.
Doesn't Dark Night come out on July 18th? So whoever said that it would be nice if it came out with Mummy because it would be sooner is dead wrong. Plus, I really hope it's with Dark Night because I REALLY don't want to see Mummy, but I REALLY do want to see TDK.
From what I have read in the comments of people who claim to work in the movie theatres the trailer is set to be released with an IMAX movie and I don't believe The Mummy is being released in IMAX and Dark Knight is. I would not worry too much for the trailer is set to be released in IMAX theatres which will be the coolest thing which hopefully will make it worth the wait.
PRATTDADDY? can u elaborate more on how the poster looks please? oh and try emailing the leaky staff regarding it, they might be able to figure anything out as well. what you can try also is to take a screencap of ur said newsletter, which could also help you out. or please CIARAN, respond to prattdaddy's message! PLEASE!
You're kidding me. The wait's extended AGAIN? If the teaser isn't coming out until then, when are they supposed to put out a normal trailer?! Would it just be considered an extremely short normal trailer at this point? Did they actual manage to weasel their way out of a teaser trailer, and find a way to have a very short normal trailer, as well? I'm not sure, 'cause I don't know much about movies.
YAY! Finally!
come on already!!!!
I work at a movie theater as well and I have heard significant rumors of the teaser trailer debuting on Dark Knight. First of all Warner Bros is very picky with their trailers, and it is most likely that they will want a WB trailer on a WB movie...a popular one at that. Also, we are long overdue for the trailer. We should know for sure at my theater by the 14th as that is when we get the official trailer list. Right now I still strongly believe it will be attached to Dark Knight.
I smell a rat!!! Is WB trying to boost their sales for the new fiscal quarter. Since almost everything is riding on the Dark Knight. I will tell you this. I will not be going to see the crappy mummy just for the sake of a trailer. When I can just look on apple/quicktime trailers or rotten tomatoes the same day to see it. Without waisting money seeing Jet li play a dark prince and Brendan Fraser try to revitalize his sad career from 9 years ago. (How original)
that's dumb! every other movie in existence, even the other harry potter movies, had trailers 5 to 6 months before the movie came out! august is only 3 months from the HBP movie release! this sucks! I want the trailer now!!!!!!!!
What the F"#% is wrong with WB??? I swear if they make me wait that much longer for a freaking teaser I won't see HBP in theatre, this is soooo annoying!!! JUST GIVE US THE TEASER ALREDY, I MEAN IS THE TEASER NOT THE FULL ONE?!?! and by the way I need more promotional pictures!!! at least give us more promotional pictures, set reports and behind the scenes footage if you'r going to make us wait longer!!
I still say the hp trailer will be with the dark Knight movie, or I aleast hope the trailer will be with the dark Knight movie. If not than I am doom, for I will not see the mummy movie or any dum movie, even tho the movie may have something big, I want. I AM NOT WASTING MY MONEY!!! Anyways, You guys have it all wrong, if the trailer is with the mummy, than this give us fans a chance to reread the book over again. I am sure not all of you guys remember every bit of detail and will need to brush up on you hp knowologe and here is your chance!!!
WTH? I JUST FREAKING WANNA SEE THE TEASER TRAILER ALREADY!!! AND IT SHOULD BE MORE THAN A MINUTE LONG, BECAUSE IF I HAVE TO PAY TO GO SEE THE MUMMY JUST TO SEE HP AND THE TEASER TRAILER ENDS UP BEING LESS THAN A MINUTE..IM GONNA BE SOOOOOOOOOO PISSED...SIRIUSLY ;) ...JUST FREAKIN GIVE US THE TRAILER!!!! 121?
that is super-suckish
It is a rumor I hope is true and the "Mummy, the emperor of the dragon king" the trailer is good. Now I have two movies to see and I know I will trailer too.
*sigh*, its like all of us HP fans are fish in a pond, and WB is waving bait right in front of our faces, only to yank it away from us at the last second. lol! but its okay, i can wait for the trailer, i just want to see the movie already! XD
Son of A girl!!!!! UGH!!! What the hell is this!? THis is such BS!!! If there going to do this, I will just watch the darn thing on YouTube or whatever. God! I tell ya this is getting ridiculous!
I'm getting tired of people who are just making rumors stop that BS!!!
if it comes out w/ dark knight i'll be at camp, and if it comes out w/ the mummy i'll be away! and i'll also be away on harry potter's b-day!!!! noooooo!!!!! and do you know how many trailers, behind the scenes things, interviews and whatnot that twillight has??? and do you know how many that hbp has??? and twilight is like a week or two later than hbp!!!! this is quite ridiculous!!!! ahhhhhhhh badddddd bad bad bad i want a teaser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:-(
The idea of the teaser trailer being on TM is seriously stupid because TM is gonna be shitty as he** considering they changed the main actress (you just DON'T do that unless you want to ruin a movie). And TDK is a WB film of course so wth it should be on there!! WB let's go already!!!
Cool! I was looking forward to the third Mummy movie, now even more so!!!! Can't wait, I am sooooo excited for Half-Blood Prince.
umm yeah not cool wb.
screw that! I'm not seeing the mummy even if the trailers with it. i ll wait until its on youtube-it ll only take a few hours anyway. and im sure i wont be the only one
the mummy is ten times better than the dark night. i cant believe people are saying all this crap. i guess if you're younger you probably dont remember all that much about the mummy 1 and 2 but they were awesome and did great at the box office, despite some of these retarded comments. i'm glad that its premiering with the movie.
cmon WB, we're all waiting in anticipation
MuggleNet, you want to stop giving us crappy rumors and just stick with the darn facts for now? Jesus. Christ.
HAY, kali902000, IF MUMMY ONE AND TWO DID SO WELL ON MONEY MAKING, THAN WHY DOES MUMMY THREE NEED HELP FROM HP TRAILER #6, WITH MONEY MAKING??? I WILL TELL YOU WHY, BECAUSE THE MUMMY SERIES ISN'T ALL THAT GREAT AND YOU KNOW IT!!! GO DARK KNIGHT!!!
OMG! is WB TRYING 2 torture us?!?!?! i dont even wanna see the mummy!!!! and harry potter will have failed if the teaser trailer with that movie and not the Dark Knight!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE IS THE TRAILER?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Personally, i dont mind which film it is realeased with, but i do hope that it is with both (the mummy AND the dark kinght) because that means i can go and see two films aaaaand the teaser trailer twice! If i had to choose one though it would be with the Dark Knight as that seems like a better film- no offence meant. But i am confused?. . What is the difference between a teaser trailer and the real trailer?
All these children clearly have never seen the first two "Mummy" movies. I'm extremely excited, either way I was going to see those movie trailers or not. And I can wait 2 weeks, I was going to have to anyways because of family vacation and Terminus.
No haven't seen Mummy one or Mummy two and that is a bad thing why???
I don't CARE what movie it comes out with, as long as we get it SOON!!!
I don't CARE what movie it comes out with, as long as we get it SOON!!!
I need that trailer......... NOW!!!
Whatever. This is just making me even more impatient. If the teaser doesn`t come out with TDK, I think I will have a serious meltdown. No lie.
i hate this.... i want the teaser... my friend sent me this link for the official hbp trailer, and i got so excited, but it turned out it was just a stupid MUSIC VIDEO and it made me really mad. >:-(
Hmm, I hope this is just a rumor. I have no interest in seeing the new Mummy movie (why is there another anyway, didn't the last one bomb??). I'm excited to see the trailer, but not 13 bucks just to see it and then leave the movie excited.
LunaIsOurQueen, the difference between a teaser trailer and a real trailer is: teaser trailer: the useless little random clips of the film usually about a minute or so long and give you no information as to the content of the movie whatsoever. these are the ones people usually spend their time getting their food in so they can be in the cinema in time for the actual movie. real trailer: the ones which actually show what the movie is about, like the longer ones you see on tv. these also go for longer than teaser trailers, which are only made to "tease" us with it. hope that helped :) if it didn't just go to youtube and search for the teaser trailer of a movie that's already out and then search the trailer of it, that should help :)
I just brought ticket to see the dark knight on the midnight primere It better be shown in the dark knight because am going to grab somebody by their neck. and when the deathly hallows come out am going to be 18 and graduate and going to midnight primere ticket for harry potter and the deatly hallows.
joelgamer_x - haahhhaa. "grab somebody by their neck"! LMFAO! that was really funny for some reason... =D
rose 37 7, you just proved my point exactly (wow... youre a smart one). you havent even seen the mummy 1 or 2 and youre talking bad things about it. great way to help move my view along. you must be 10 years old along with the other people on this site that are saying things about the mummy movies. and to prove even more how much of an idiot you are, youre question made no sense. the mummy did not come out yet nor did the dark night so the wb wanting to put the trailer before the mummy to "boosts its sales" does not mean the movie is doing bad. how the hell can a movie do bad if it didnt even come out yet. use your teeny weenie little brain sweetie. the wb is putting it with the mummy because obviously they are assuming it will be a blockbuster and they want to ride on it as best they can. ever notice how the trailers for movies that are expected to do well are introduced with movies that are also expected to do well. please go ask your mommy to read you a story at night so you can gain some intelligence. i suggest that you watch the movies before you say something about it cause youre just showing everyone else that youre a stubborn little turd. and for sleepmel, NO! the 2nd mummy did great. better than the first. it made 202 million (about the same as precious little batman) and thats in the US alone. and thats not even including dvd sales which the movie was even more sucessful because of. it was one of the biggest movies the year it came out.
Well, I've seen The Mummy 1 and The Mummy 2, and frankly that's four hours of my life that I want back. I hate The Mummy with a passion, and there is no one and nothing in this world that can force me to go see The Mummy 3. I don't care if the sixth trailer is amazing, I'll settle for watching it on the computer. I really hope the trailer is with The Dark Knight. I was going to go and see it anyway because it's Heath Leadger's last movie.
