Standard business practice is to monitor your sales/growth as comparison to the previous year. If they kept HP as a 2008 release, they would have an enormously successful 2008 of record-breaking proportions. As great as that sounds they want to balance the wealth from year to year to maintain a constant cash flow and a healthier business... instead of having a monster year they can never come close to reaching again.

Was it always slated for November and they recently changed it? My guess is that they saw what worked for The Dark Knight... not only a July release, but the massive, multi-approach marketing campaign... and they want to apply it to HP to cash in as maximally as possible.
