Three Dimensions are working out well for studios:
Opening Day GrossesLion King 3-D -- $8,919,921
Phantom Menace 3-D -- $8,650,000
My guess is that Titanic 3-D will do much more than all right when it comes to an AMC near you. Because everyone will want to see the young Leo in Moving View Master.
And of course audiences will want to see the falling bodies and the ship breaking in two. I can't wait.

Lion King, a very flawed film, looked good enough in 3D. Beauty and the Beast, a far superior film, really looked awful. Primarily because of the very rushed/inconsistant animation.
^Can you imagine how magnificent the film could have been had the 9 Old Men animated it? Imagine the same songs, story and voices married to "Sleeping Beauty"-quality animation. The mind reels...
Can you explain why lion king is a flawed film? I must hear this.
It doesn't have any winged sprites in it.
Oops, sorry, in my second post, I was referring to Beauty and the Beast, not Lion King. The animation in Lion King is mostly terrif, but Beauty and the Beast looks sloppy and rushed. And Belle! Belle looks downright homely in some scenes. Whoever animated her could not draw faces well - and it shows!
True belle gets off model quite a bit but really never has bothered me. I would say cleanup had more to do with that than anything. James Baxter was a lead on Belle so I would guess his shots were on model. It was a young crew on that film and still is a great film despite certain aspects being off. Now it being in 3d well they could of left that alone.
