U.S. Moviegoers Lose Interest in 3D

I don’t mean to suggest that I know more about the movie business than Jeffrey Katzenberg. But I’m relieved to see that the gut instinct I had all along seems to be fact: 3D movies were, are, and always will be a fad.

I wonder how long it’ll take until Hollywood and consumer-electronics companies conclude that the magic of 3D isn’t that magical at home, either?

    Avatar was cool in 3D, but that's about it.

    I predict it will take exactly one second longer than it takes to amortize the loans on their flat-screen production factories. The typical television in an American home still lasts at least 12 years, despite the best efforts of the manufacturers to get them to upgrade more often.

    I am not a fan of 3D especially if it wasn't shot in 3D. I have been to the movies twice since prices had gone up over 10.00 a ticket. I don't see any value ad in paying an extra 30-40 percent more to see it in 3 dimensions. Most of the trash coming out of Hollywood these days sucks in two dimensions. Why add another level of suck?
