3d movies

Disney Certainly Knows How To Set “Financial” Records with 3D!  And that’s the bottom line!  Sure, it’s a gimmick to some, but for many, it is a great little curiosity or true additional depth to one’s movie experience.  We all have our different takes on the issue of 3D movies.  But one thing is for sure, 3D definitely boosts the bottom line!

'The Avengers' box office records - Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America

Disclaimer:  As a fan of the Marvel franchise characters that came together to be a part of Joss Whedon’s The Avengers, I could not be happier to see the movie setting all kinds of box office records.  I mean heck, on Monday (5/7/12) alone, it made an additional $19M when most movies barely hit half a million during the week!

From one of the biggest (monetary) debut in movie history, to records set in different countries, to the movie accounting for the most Fandango opening weekend tickets sold.

I love the fact that this kind of movie cranked out the records, meaning superhero geeks are not alone in their fandom.

And it is a serious amount of vindication for Joss Whedon, being represented by the fans regaling in his work.

'The Avengers' movie promo poster

So I’m wondering out loud if I should hit up Joss Whedon‘s The Avengers in a 3D or 2D screening?

My first, enthusiastic thought was why not check it out in 3D?  I’ve limited myself to a select set of movies to see in 3D so far and since I love the concept of the movie franchise, I started considering this.  The movie is making oodles of money, and I’d love to support this film franchise as best I can.   Yes, that means soda and popcorn for another $10 to $15 on top of my movie ticket price!

But then I asked about (on Twitter) what folks thought, and I also learned that…

The Avengers was post-processed into 3D.  It wasn’t filmed in 3D, as many were led to believe for a short while, back in 2011.

But Disney sure does want me to think heavily about seeing the movie in 3D.  They’re even enticing me with cool, custom 3D specs to watch the movie with.  But according to some, those specs are only being offered at specific premieres, so don’t get too high on the anticipation ladder on that one.
