Todd J Moore said:Last night I went to see The Peanuts Movie in 3D. First the clown selling tuckets was shocked that I asked for that movie period. Then he did the "you know this is a 3D movie?" question as if to discourage me on that basis.
That is exactly the experience our local multiplex uses to discourage 3D ticket sales. I've also been told "if you wait 20 mins. you can see it regular." If they are not actually discouraging people from seeing the 3D version they are scheduling two 3D showing of a feature at say 3:30 pm and 9:55pm while the film is being shown on three screens. The manager has admitted to me they only have the 3D showings because the studio requires it. I guess they are trying to prove to the studio that "the public doesn't want 3D." The good new is Star Wars will have 3D showings at normal viewing times.
