When will 3D movies take over?

Now, we know that 3D will stay mostly with blockbusters. There are so many movies that have already announced they will be in 3D.

In case you don't know, I hate 3D movies. It is a gimmick; a way for Hollywood to make more money off us. I refuse to see a 3D movie. I am willing to not see movies I have waited years for, if they are in 3D.

Some people are arguing there will always be a 2D version at the same time. This isn't true, when you really think about it closely. The reason there are 2D versions now, is because they are making them 3D in post-production. If the movie is shot from day one in 3D, it is my opinion that they will only put that version into theaters.

It is simple economics. In my area, they charge 17$ to see a 3D movie. A normal ticket is 7$. So, if the production company puts in only 3D, they will be making a ton more money. People will be forced to watch the 3D version. I am not one of these people. And I do not think I am alone here. In the long run, the movie industry will lose a lot of money.

My question is this: when will 3D movies take over the cinema? From my count, it will be by the beginning of 2011. It is really sad, they are going to lose a lot of moviegoers.

I am one of these people. I said I will never see a 3D movie, and I stick to my convictions.
