If they did it right, they could easily do a first movie with a clean, acceptable ending.
The book lends itself to two parts pretty well.
Your call.
I'd rather not wait even longer to watch anything, especially when I already know how everything goes down.
I personally would rather they tell the full story in 2 films then truncate it and release some half hearted thing.
My biggest problem with Goblet was just how much got changed, or cut out. It was the biggest book and the shortest film. I'd rather not see that happen to the finale.
It's not the split that I'm upset about, but the wait between. Seeing as both parts will be shot all at the same time (I would imagine), and most likely would be, or should be edited at the same time, the movies should not be so far apart. I don't see how it would effect ticket sales as there is no point in seeing the second without seeing the first.
How about make it about 3-4 hours long with an intermission. Everyone's happy: viewers get more story, theaters get a break in-between to sell more concessions.
When's the last time they did an intermission? They didn't even do one for LotR.
