Theaters not giving option of 2D on 3D movies? - Blu-ray Forum

I went to see Saw 3D today and while i didn't want to see it in 3D i didn't have a choice because there were no 2D option.

According to this http://www.cinemamontreal.com/showti...20/Saw_3D.html

There's only ONE theater in Montreal that has a 2D version!

Whatever happened to giving the consumer a choice? I know the movie is called Saw 3D(!!!) but still, give the consumer a choice! Is it because it had the 3D in the title? I don't want to see every single blockbuster in 3D dangit!

And what scares me the most is next summer, when theres going to be a truckload of 3D movies and theater owners want to make more money so why in the hell would they give the option of putting the same movie in 2D?

Same thing for Jackass 3D and Piranha 3D, i didn't have a choice to see them in 3D (to be fair both those movies were cool in 3D, it's only SAW that had really poor 3D)

Back when the craze started after Avatar i remember having the choice in 3D, i went to see Clash of the Titans in 2D. But now i don't see 2D fairing well in the coming months!

Next summer when theres gonna be a 3D movie coming out almost every week i really don't see the theater owners putting a 2D version of the same movie up against the 3D version and that frightens me!

Anyone else?
