From this article on The Guardian online:
The fifth Harry Potter film will be arriving in US cinemas a little sooner than expected, after Warner Bros took the decision to release Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on Wednesday July 11, two days earlier than planned. While some will naturally wonder whether this means that the hardy boy wizard is running scared of a Friday 13 release date, others suspect a more mercenary motive. A Wednesday opening extends the film’s opening weekend and typically boosts its box office takings. “We think it gives the hardcore fans a few more days to see the film,” said Warner spokesperson Andrea Marozas yesterday. For the time being, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is still set for a Friday 13 debut in the UK, while Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - the seventh and final book in the JK Rowling series - is set for publication on July 21 2007.
