Rumor: No more 3D Prequel Releases?

<< < (6/8) > >>

Qui-Gon Jim:
AotC is my least favorite SW film.  That said, I would have liked to have seen this.  I wanted to put together a set of those LE 3D glasses.

Phrubruh:
The whole conversion of non 3D movies to 3D is pretty awful. It's like watching a movie through a view master. Can't this 3D fad just die?

Qui-Gon Jim:
I thought the 3D in TPM was pretty well done.  It is hit or miss though.  I saw Iron Man and Star Trek in 3D.  IM was not worth it, ST was pretty good.

ETA: 3D is hugely profitable for theaters and studios.  It isn't going anywhere.

Not for Theaters so much... they make very little on the movies themselves. Theaters make money from concessions.

Really?  Have you seen how much more a theater can charge for exhibiting a 3-D movie as compared to a 2-D movie?


AMC theaters shows their ticket pricing on their website.  And in my market, adult tickets for a 3-D version of a movie now go for $17.  That's opposed to the $13 adult admission  for a 2-D showing.  So where is the upcharge in costs for theaters that would erase this 30% (or so) increase in ticket prices?
