For this particular title. Plenty of other countries have exclusives and whatnot for 3D. Even concerts. No, not always English friendly, but they're not being released targeting English speaking audience. Checkout some other forums and see what there is. It's not dying by any means, but it's hard to get a 3D TV anywhere these days. I'm guessing they'll start to slowly start coming back beginning next year or 2024 due to the Avatar movies, which sparked a resurgence last time they were around.

My only reference to the whole Avatar causing a resurgence is because the first movie did back in 2010, roughly 2 years after the movie came out. Hence my guess of next year to 2024 TV’s getting 3D back.

And I just read this article. Confirms how big 3D still is in other parts of the world, as well as a re-thinking of how 3D should be done and presented. Funny part is that Disney is looking to do a huge push for the Avatar movies, starting with Lightyear and JW: Dominion. However I haven’t seen these available in 3D locally. But it looks like overall it’s still in the discussion, and where there’s revenue, there’s studio interest. I’m sure they’ll take a stab at TV’s as well.
And let’s see how the US audience reacts to sitting through 3D in theaters again.

Honest question - do they even show movies in 3D anymore? I thought that stopped PRE-COVID and now can't even think why it would still be around.

They will. That's my point. Vudu still offers 3D on a ton of movies and continues to expand it.
I also said the same thing considering I couldn't see Lightyear or Jurassic Park anywhere in 3D - until I checked Fandango. Turns out they do still have regular showings, albeit on 1-2 screens once a day. So yes, they are still around. And as that article I posted stated, a lot of other countries continue to go to see 3D showings.

Whether the feature comes back on TV's – even for a limited time – is anyone's guess. But wholesale brushing off the format doesn't mean it no longer exists, regardless even of how well- or poorly-attended such screenings are, or whether we fans have to source the Blu-rays from other countries.

just saw Black Widow on Bluray 3D and it really looked good. one of the better Marvel conversions. lots of depth, a few popouts and dimension. really nice, pleasantly surprised presentation and i even liked the movie better because of it. especially the IMAX scenes. those were especially great in 3D.

Seriously? I've seen two in theatres in the last three weeks – DR. STRANGE 2 and JURASSIC WORLD 3 (or whatever). I see RISE OF GRU and LIGHTYEAR both have multiple 3D screenings in the theatres all across the city here (so did BAD GUYS). THOR 4 is coming out in 3D, and surely whatever other Marvel pictures are scheduled for this year. Even that 3-hour Indian movie RRR that folks here have been praising played here theatrically in a 3D option. And there are undoubtedly several other high-profile movies coming out this year with 3D options. What made you think they stopped showing them when they're still actively making them?

I can't see it ever coming back to a major TV, because there isn't much media released that have 3D options (any in the USA still?), retailers are pretty much not even stocking normal Blu-rays, and TVs are cheaper than ever. 3D on TV isn't gonna make a dent to anyone to put that feature back in, but dumber things have happened.

I don't see 3DTVs making any sort of comeback, but when PSVR2 comes out next year, I'm hoping it'll support 3D BD playback as its predecessor did since I have a few titles on the shelf I've only watched flat or with the two-tone cardboard glasses (like Silent Madness, A*P*E, Friday the 13th Part III, Dial M for Murder, etc.).

Just an FYI, TheBang just posted in the Amazon thread this link. It has 12 3D titles. I guess I filtered it wrong.

I posted this on the Vudu thread in the Streaming Forum, but I thought I’d post this here as well. I’ve never had interest in any kind of VR. It seems like a fad that’s never taken off. But I had no idea I could watch Vudu movies on Oculus. Has anyone watched movies this way? How’s the 3D on it? I’m curious to know.

Nice opportunity coming up (in September, I believe) from KL Studio Classics to get all three Pine-Thomas 3D films in a single pack. I believe all three singles went out of print and have been fetching hefty prices.

I had heard about watching 3D on PS VR around 2 years ago or so. I wasn't able to find a new one for sale except through 3rd party vendors with jacked up prices.
Last night I was able to get the Iron Man VR bundle on a Woot off for $299.
Can't wait to try it out. I'm down to 1 working 3D TV now, and don't have the room for a projector.

For people holding off on Japan Marvel 3D films the exchange rate right now is making them a bit more bearable
