Anaglyph could be shown on any screen, if your theater switched their titles around, or for some overseas markets where they couldn't do anything as fancy.
And drive-in theaters just had to show the 2-D version.

And the rumors of polarized pop-out in '83? Absolutely untrue.
Never saw it once. (Except for the ping-pong ball in House of Wax, that sort of came close.)
I saw Jaws 3D and Friday the 13th 3D in the theater with polarized glasses in the 80s. Both movies had awesome pop-out effects.
