The biggest price hike I've seen for a 3D movie is $2, and that's at the big theater on the Strip here in Las Vegas, where it'd be the most expensive.

This is why I don't get people bitching about 3D ticket prices being almost twice as much as 2D tickets when it's just not true. At least from my periphery.

The majority of blockbuster movie-goers will not know the difference between "shot in 3D" and "tweaked for 3D in post-production software," so the only deciding factor will be, "Do I have an extra ten bucks on me?!?"

And those that dish out that extra ten bucks will enjoy the extra spectacle of the fake 3D. They may complain that there weren't enough spears thrown directly into the camera, but hey... they can only do so much in post.

What exactly do you know about the difference between elements captured in 3D and those 3D-itized from 2D elements? It sounds like you've seen it and there's a huge difference between the two, which is surprising to me.

Everyone else who's seen both types of 3D says they look pretty good.

Just read on comingsoon that Rupert Murdoch said Avatar would be released on Bluray/DVD by the end of Fox's fiscal year, which is June 30th (not in 3D)…so Fox might pull it from theatres before late March anyway.

Will audiences even have the option of viewing the movie on a regular screen or 3D screen? I can't see a theatre devoting two screens to Clash of the Titans but it would make sense if some theatres have another film on their lone 3D screen (let's say) and Titans on a non-3D screen.

So is Warner Bros releasing this only in 3D or in both?

It'll probably take a few movies before audiences even decide if it's worth it. And that could maybe take a couple years?

Love the Radiohead/Muse bit.

And, if I do go see this (I have a little brother) it won't be in 3D. That's just throwing more money away (emphasis on more: paying to see this at all is throwing it away).
