Just to be clear, while logged in as an admin user did you :

Select the iMovie 2 bundle
Choose Get Info from the File menu (command-I)
Open the Ownership and Permissions panel
Change ownership to you and close the Info window?

And you still couldn't delete it?

I'm wondering because I haven't run across anything I couldn't delete 
this way unless the file was also locked, but that will also show up in 
the Get Info window.
