As alot will know with my huge Qube problems i have had to switch between 2d film and 3d, canceling many 3d shows. My local population just walked right out the door when they found it was in 2d. People from 8 years old to 80 , no way they wanted 2d it has to be in 3d, funny considering 3 months back we never even had 3d at my cinema , now it has to be the normal. On the opening week we ran 2d and 3d on same day , every 3d session was sellout the one prime time 2d session attracted 10 people.

You already get films where shooting in scope added nothing to the film or maybe made it less intimate than it should have been, the same will happen with 3D. Have not personally noticed the brightness issues with 3D, is that because I've seen virtually all of them in near-empty screens sitting in the middle?  |  IP: Logged Jim Bedford Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 597 From: Telluride, CO, USA (733 mi.

Come on, South America, Asia, Africa and Antarctica, speak up!  |  IP: Logged
