Why this petition matters

Started by Shahaneh Limonadi

In the United States, we have such things as discount Tuesdays & A-List, where we never pay extra for 3D, and yet despite that, America is one of a few countries that get excluded from 3D screenings of a bunch of movies each & every year, Like Fast & Furious Hobbs & Shaw and Logan (Wolverine) and The Kingsman Golden Circle and Hurricane Heist, and now Fast X.

The fact is there is no longer a need to exclude the United States & Canada from 3D Screenings the rest of the world gets to enjoy. And furthermore, these movies make less money in the Domestic box office, which doesn't sit well for the studios either, for example; Kingsman The Golden Circle was released internationally in 3D and made over $200 million despite not getting release in China for its international box office, but in the United States & Canada was released in 2D only, and it only made more then $50 million in the domestic box office because of it.

By including the United States in 3D screenings for 3D movies is beneficial for both the Studio and the consumer. It allows audiences to discover movies they otherwise would have never saw, and thus never would have realize there was such good original unique storytelling that they like & it allows studios to make and additional several hundred million more dollars.

3D does sell movies, and the Fast & Furious movies only make around $150 million each in the Domestic Box Office from Fast & Furious presents Hobbs & Shaw to Fast & Furious 9, when release in 2D only. And Fast X is sandwich in between both Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 (3D) and The Little Mermaid (3D).

Please stop practicing Crony-Capitalism by removing options, and please start practicing real Capitalism by giving us Movie Goers all the options, especially the 3D Screenings; which should always be an available option for us consumers, if you ever believed in real Capitalism.

And make your 4K 3D copies of the movies be Hyper Stereo, as in Hyper Stereoscopic 3D. Because you always distribute these 2 copies of the 3D version of a film:

2K 3D

4K 3D

The thing is, the 4K 3D copy is only going to be shown via Laser Projectors for theaters, and HDR (High Dynamic Range) for future home media consumption, and therefore is not capable of causing nausea, eye strain, headaches nor disorientation (dizziness). And therefore there is no reason to restrain the 3D Depth & pop-out for the 4K 3D copy of any 3D Movies. As for the 2K 3D copy of 3D movies, you are probably going to still be needing to continue to hold back the 3D effect as you have been doing, due to the fact that the 2K 3D copy of 3D movies are going to be shown on Digital Projectors and 3D Blu-ray; and therefore on people's older 3D TV's that don't have HDR (high dynamic range).

So i understand if the Stereographers doing the Stereography of movies continues to implement the Stereography the way they have been implementing them in 3D movies, for the 2K 3D copy, but the Stereography for the 4K 3D copy should be set higher for just "Hyper Stereo" for the entirety of the movie for its Stereoscopic 3D effect since it cannot cause problems in audiences due to the fact that the 4K 3D copy only gets shown via Laser Projectors and HDR Home Media Displays i.e. Lume Pad 2.

If you want to keep implementing the Stereography/3D effect in the 2K 3D copies of movies in the same old Medium to Very Strong range of 3D Depth & Pop-Out, that's fine.

But please make the Stereography a.k.a. 3D effect be different in the 4K 3D copies of movies, specifically please make it Hyper Stereo for the separate 4K 3D copy of 3D movies. Since the viewing of the 4K 3D copy of 3D movies can handle much stronger Stereoscopic 3D without causing any problems for audiences.

And when it comes to 3D movies that are in HFR (High Frame Rate), you can have the 2K 3D HFR copy have Hyper Stereo during its HFR scenes. For example:

2K 3D 48fps

So the 2K 3D HFR copies should also implement "Hyper Stereo" during the scenes that are in High Frame Rate (HFR).
