When Hollywood Almost Went 3D: Famous Films Planned for Stereoscopic Release That Ended Up in 2D
The history of 3D cinema is filled not only with pioneering successes, but also with intriguing “what might have been” projects — films that were originally conceived, budgeted or technically prepared for stereoscopic production, yet ultimately released only in 2D. From classic Hollywood thrillers to modern blockbusters, many productions explored 3D as a creative or commercial strategy before abandoning it due to cost, technical limitations, studio caution or shifting market

So long 2025, hello 2026

LOOKING BACK The ambition in January 2025, was to release one new 3D title per month and although we never quite managed that regularity, our average of TWO TITLES PER MONTH superseded that by a country mile! And that includes a couple of titles which are still available to download for A

Can Cost-Effective 2D-to-3D Conversion Boost the theatrical Success of a Low-Budget Film?
With audiences clearly responding to out of home premium, theatrical-only experiences, it’s worth asking: why shouldn’t indie filmmakers consider 3D as a powerful way to boost their film’s impact in cinemas?

How cost-effective 2D to 3D conversion might help turn low budget sci-fi like Primitive War into a premium, audience-pulling cinema experience
Moviegoing in 2025 is increasingly experience driven. Recent industry research and audience studies show that premium formats IMAX, RealD 3D and Dolby Cinema among them are a major motivation for people to choose theaters over home viewing. Audiences want visual and audio experiences they simply can’t reproduce at home: bigger-scale projection, high dynamic range, immersive sound, and 3D depth that turns a screening into an “event.”

Can home media afford 3D conversion?
As shared in a number of previous posts, we've noticed a steep decline in sales of 3D Blu-rays/downloads over the last couple of years and, regardless of the factors involved, the only conclusion you can draw is that producing 3D solely for the home media market is not financially viable. The majority of the 3D blu-ray market is made up of films shot (rarely now) or converted into 3D for theatrical release in which case the "3D budget" in financial terms is covered in the

EYEPOP-3D Trailers. Better than the real thing?
It's always really nice when we get a compliment on our work, and we do get quite a lot (apologies for the humblebrag) which is much appreciated, although probably not best for my ego based on my son's feedback. Anyway, it was really interesting when I saw a couple of people mention the recent Disney "Lilo & Stitch" conversion showing in cinemas with suggestion that EYEPOP-3D could have done a better conversion. Now I do appreciate we're setting the bar pretty low as the feed
