Security tight for new film
"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", set to open internationally tomorrow, started at midnight on Tuesday in 46 nations, including Thailand, prompting security measures deemed by some to be extreme.

Movie attendees were required to turn in cellphones, cameras or any other digital recording devices before entering theatres.
Bags were searched and security guards patrolled entranceways and lobbies where policemen also helped to check bags.
"It's the global policy of Warner Bros Company in the US, as Thailand opened before worldwide screening," said a Warner Bros Thailand PR spokesperson.
Thailand's official premier today is open to anyone who buys a ticket.
