Years before Avatar's release, writer/producer/director/"king of the world" James Cameron would mention in interviews that 3-D films had to happen to get people's butts back in cinema seats. It looks like he was right. Steven Spielberg, George Lucas nor Peter Jackson couldn't even come close to bypassing Cameron's Titanic for domestic and worldwide box office. It took Cameron himself and the latest 3-D technology to do so. In under 2 months, Avatar became the highest grossing film world wide.
With such success, so very quickly, no wonder why Warner Bros. have decided to release the upcoming Clash of The Titans in 3-D. Not only that, the final two Harry Potter flicks will be released in 3-D as well. You can get whole scoop here.
Bring it on baby! I don't think every film should be in 3-D, like Citizen Kane or Close Encounters of The Third Kind. However, I can't see why big blockbuster action or event flicks can't be in 3-D. I'm still crossing my fingers that Guillermo del Toro's Hobbit films will be in 3-D.
