In the United States, we have such things as discount Tuesdays & A-List, where we never pay extra for 3D, and yet despite that, America is one of a few countries that get excluded from 3D screenings of a bunch of movies each & every year, Like Fast & Furious Hobbs & Shaw and Logan (Wolverine) and The Kingsman Golden Circle and Hurricane Heist, and now Matrix 4 Resurrections (source: Forbes) and The King's Man; just to give a few examples.
The fact is there is no longer a need to exclude the United States from 3D Screenings that over 170 other countries in the World get to see in 3D. And furthermore, these movies make less money in the box office, which doesn't sit well for the studios either, for example; Kingsman The Golden Circle was released internationally in 3D and made over $200 million despite not getting release in China for its international box office, but in the United States & Canada was released in 2D only, and it only made more then $50 million in the domestic box office because of it.
By including the United States in 3D screenings for 3D movies is beneficial for both the Studio and the consumer. It allows audiences to discover movies they otherwise would have never saw, and thus never would have realize there was such good original unique storytelling that they like & it allows studios to make several hundred million dollars more.
IMAX & Dolby don't sell movies, just look at Hellboy 2019, which made around $45 million worldwide including China, or Reminiscence which made $15 million in 180+ countries in 2021. Let alone The Suicide Squad (2021) which made less money then any DCEU movie ever made.
3D does sell movies, as shown by movies like Prometheus & The Mummy 2017 & Godzilla VS Kong & Shang-Chi & Dune & Eternals, which they made half a billion dollars each. Hell, No Time To Die made about $775 million during a Pandemic, mostly from 3D screenings, let alone Spider-Man No Way Home which made about $1.5 billion from 3D Screenings alone.
Please stop practicing Crony-Capitalism by removing options, and please start practicing real Capitalism by giving us Movie Goers all the options, especially the 3D Screenings; which should always be an available option for us consumers, if you ever believed in real Capitalism.
The fact that a bunch of white people are trying to make it harder to see movies in 3D; when a Black Woman/NASA Scientist: Valerie Thomas is responsible for all the 3D Movies we see today, is very White Supremacy to stop showing movies in 3D, whether that decision is or isn't intentionally "white nationalism" in its nature or not. Please stop feeding white nationalist folks hate for 3D, just because they don't want Black People to have a Legacy, as we've already seen with Trump trying to undo everything President Obama has done. So Please Stop trying to Make 2D Great Again and ditch the past, ditch the Status Quo. Seriously, what is up with you middle-age white people and your Status Quo.
