THR - "Warner Bros. has scuttled plans to release the new "Harry Potter" in 3D.
In a statement released Friday, the studio said that when "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I" arrives in theaters on Nov. 19, it will be in 2D, playing both conventional theaters and IMAX, but that "we will not have a completed 3D version of the film within our release date window."
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
Thank goodness! I'm so tired of 3D movies, and I was really saddened that they had jumped on that bandwagon.
just saved me some $$$
Doesnt make business sense to me. 3D is only here because Hollywood needed a boost in sales, its obvious its not exactly where it should be yet. We still need to wear glasses and very few films like Resident Evil even pulled it off correctly.
So either 3D is on its way out, again, early or they plan on re-releasing this movie in 3D to make more money. That or Harry Potter is so popular that having 3D wouldn't really help them, as people would line up and wait for that instead 2D versions. Yes I honestly don't believe the 2D to 3D excuse, they would delay the release if that were the case.
Typical Warner, try to pass off a movie as 3d that was converted in a lab. Its simple, if you do not film it in 3D with 3D cameras, it is not 3D and it is ripping off the audience to pass a converted film off as 3D and then charge the 3D surcharge. Only Avatar, Resident Evil, and Step Up were shot in 3D. Green Hornet, Green Lantern, Thor, Captain America are all 2D movies being converted to 3D. You would think Warner would have learned after they tried to pass off Clash of the Titans in 3D.
