The extra cost for 3-D covers licensing fees charged by Reel-D for using their technology, along with additional costs for the technology.  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 09-23-2009 10:40 PM                     quote: Michael McGovern As far as I war aware, the expense for the 3-D glasses is being paid for by the film studios distributing the 3-D films. Although it is said the studios are paying for the glasses, in reality I can assure you that they are working the cost into the film rental percentage. So the theaters are not paying a separate line item for glasses but they are indirectly paying for them.  |  IP: Logged Peter Castle Expert Film Handler Posts: 220 From: Wollongong University, NSW ,Australia Registered: Oct 2003 posted 09-24-2009 12:52 AM                     And those not using polarised glasses have already paid the cost of the glasses, and would like to use any surcharge to recover that cost - which is NOT provided by the distributor. But the distributor still wants their percentage of that surcharge.  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 09-24-2009 06:10 AM                        quote: Michael McGovern The extra cost for 3-D covers licensing fees charged by Reel-D for using their technology, along with additional costs for the technology. What? No additional profit for the exhibitor???  |  IP: Logged
