Thanks for the info RickStar.
Oh brother, that's a very long delay from what was originally predicted in 2017. Only 3 years off schedule for the Avatar team. But late is better than never. The good news is, with Star Wars and plenty of other sci fi films on the horizon, there's so much else to look forward to in addition to Avatar 2 3D. Even so, this could potentially do a lot to boost the 3D market and possibly reintroduce the 3D feature in TVs.

“Avatar’s four forthcoming sequels, the first of which is slated for release in December 2018, are guaranteed to shine the spotlight on 3D once more, and the magic of watching a film the way it was meant to be watched”.

Founder of RealD Michael V Lewis spoke to The i Paper about the future of 3D and why it is the saviour of the cinema.

I'd say they were going on the release dates prior to the new release date announcement on 22nd April.

Um, so who's paying for the new screens and projectors? Theaters in the US aren't going to pay out the cash. It's all hype until it happens.

No doubt in my mind that it will happen. Probably a couple theaters will have it per area. Laser glassless 3D screenings with the majority of 3D performances presented as standard RealD 3D exhibition; then hopefully, media authored on Blu-ray 3D for home entertainment until consumer glassless 3D becomes available.

Sounds great! But I wonder how much a ticket will cost to see one of these laser blaster 3D showings. Theaters will have to recoup their costs...

I'm thinking $30~$50 per ticket...

This movie is going to make so so so so much money

It will only happen if Cameron gets a piece of the technology. And I still wonder how many theaters will install glasses free screens... I think one to two per area might be an overestimate. You'll probably get a half dozen in the major markets like LA, NY and Atlanta, but the rest of the US won't see it.

Depending on where we stand with the Chinese film industry within the next four years, they might have a larger push there.

I totally agree with what you just said. My worry though is that Cameron will be in no rush to release the 3D to the home market on Blu-ray. He will want it to be glasses free and might tie it into a manufacturer of a glasses free tv. Basically what he did with Panasonic and Avatar's 3D release. Buy this tv and get Avatar 2 3D with it.
I really hope I end up being wrong.

[Kenbar]

I'm thinking Disney Springs (Orlando) will. Hour drive away.

I hope at least one theatre in Toronto will have a glasses-free capable laser projector by then. I'm also curious if the technology it uses is transferable to flat-panel televisions, or if some other technique is going to have to be used to achieve glasses-free 3-D at home (until home laser projectors become affordable, anyway).

If true, with any luck, this may revitalize the 3-D market and renew interest in the format.

I used to get annoyed and avoid movies sometimes because of the glasses. Honestly, it was because my old TV was active. It was annoying:


- The glasses would need to be charged
- The active synch would need to be maintained for all glasses and if I paused the movie too long or turned the tv off the whole process of getting them all synched again began again (most annoying!)
- The glasses were a bit heavier
- The flicker
- The Image in 3D mode had 1/8th the PQ Contrast Ratio as it did in 2D mode




Now with the Passive Oled, I have no complaints putting on the glasses, which are nice and light and don't disrupt the flow of watching a 3D movie anymore.


I know a bit long winded for me there but my point is simply that the "not wanting to deal with the glasses" complaint was/is probably more due to Active setups than anything else and everyone wasn't willing to buy passive because you would lose resolution at the time.

[TM2-Megatron]

It can't just be active TVs causing the complaints though, because I know people and have seen many more complaints from people on the internet about having to wear the glasses even in theatres, 99% of which are passive (some IMAX theatres being the only exception I know of that can use active).

Glasses-free should at least eliminate the major complaint of all those people.

[infiniteCR]

I know you are right. I was directing it more towards the at home 3D reception that's essentially killed the market. 3D was about 1/4 baked for most of its at home ride. And as you point out, even fully baked there's still going to be complaints about just the act of glasses alone.

I hear you and I will do the same, I hope it's in the next few years.

[Suntory_Times]

4k oled glasses free 3d, hopefully by then the motion is fixed. I'd probably wait a gen or two still for the issues that will almost certainly exist to be ironed out. But hey, it sounds like a tv i'd consider upgrading to which has been non existent for a while now.
