Can 3D be returned with the help of low-budget AI?

Is 3d Cinema is set for another big revival? Trends and industry audiences set a point in that direction, but this can be a stimulated potentially destructive force: artificial intelligence.

The North American 3D ticket sales jumped 34% from May, June and July 2024. In the same period this year, according to the Comscore data study. With a format as a reald 3D, 4DKS and imax 3D dominate the premium exhibition, the seven top ten new editions from May to July, a $ 222 million in 3D screens, or 13% of all cards sold.

The fault trend reflects the readiness of the film to pay for the price of $ 18.51 for an average 3D ticket, about $ 4 more than 2D, according to Reald / Comscore. They are given good for a wide range of movies, from Epic James Camerona “Avatar: Fire and Ash”, arrival 19. December 20th century, for restoration Werner Herzog‘S 2010 Arthouse Doc “Cave forgotten dreams,” went early next year from an independent film company.

And it’s just the tip of the iceberg. Rolls for new laser projections technology improve problems with the darkness, if not headaches of viewers and nausea. Cameron’s light entertainment is preparing slate that includes two “Avatars” seizures (until 2029 and 2031. years, respectively), Billie Eilish 3D concert for concerts and larger plans that will soon be published soon. The games of the gimming like a cosma in La and Dallas and spheres in Las Vegas let the audience experience old movies on spectacular money. And the event Cinema Cinema draws more crowds to theaters. Add to AI technology that could dramatically lower 2D to 3D conversion costs, and the flood of new and first time in 3D can get to multiplex in your area.

President Imax Theater Mark Velton says that imax is a 3D format “is an important part of us” but it reduced its North American influence. “Demand is very strong in international markets, especially Asian Pacific during the last few years,” he says. Partly in response to that, domestic studies have launched their game. “They ask more thinking behind (3D),” says AMC Theaters Older VP Rian Wood. “For example, when” how to train your dragon “comes, there are many 3Ds in their initial marketing.”

But 3D Renaissance – after an early introductory introduction in the early 20th century format, ’50 -ih Heidai and BOOM “Avatar’s” Avatar’s “success of $ 2.9 billion – would have to overcome several obstacles. For starters, 3D Home Video Systems and Blu-Rai / DVD releases have everything, but are dried in times of flow, practically eliminated auxiliary income from format.

Cameron is $ 2.3 billion “Avatar: Water” from 2022. years – returns weekly 3. October – probably inspired increasing number of 3D conversions for large budget films in selected theaters. The official numbers are difficult to reach, but one estimate of the industry has set conversion conversion of TENTO-Actions to about $ 15 million in the early 2010’s. In recent years, fierce competition, consolidation and more abroad has led it to about $ 5 million. Thus, studies mostly set bets on franchise films, including entry in late 2025. “Tron: Ares,” “Predator: Badlands,” “Men: For Good” and “Zootopia 2.” and “Zootopia 2.”

Market contraction on the original IP in 3D can also be felt at film festivals. Compared to Erom with a large budget Prime Minister of the New York Film Festival, Fantasy “Hugo” and Ang Lee’s 2012 Adventures “Life of Pi,” The only 3D film at this year’s Blake Williams’ experimental short “Filch” Williams “”. And the only 3D feature that plays on any top Fall Fest is 15. Anniversary 6K Renewal of the Cave forgotten dreams of Verner Herzogs “, presented 1. September at the Telluride Film Festival.

In Grčča, Greece, Herzog had just received a life-act award in Venice and has two new characteristics – Kate and Roonei Mara-Led “Adara” and doc “elephants Ghost” – plus two new books. The “German Auterova Cave” presents the oldest images in the world with its characteristic, sometimes dead narrations.

“It looks almost like a new movie for me,” he says. “The (Epilogue) about radioactive Albino Mutant Crocodils, which is completely wild, in the realm of poetry, fantasy and illusions, so wonderful. To see me in such good 3D views makes me very happy.” But he is less pleased about the possibilities of its other documents and functions converted into 3D.

“For God’s sake, don’t touch my movies! Let’s be 2d,” “Herzog shouts, saying no more plans that he in 3D is planning to deserve function.” But I will be on space aircraft on Mars. We will never colonize Mars with a million people – it is a dream for pipes, misconception – but we will eventually have several astronauts on Mars. I would love to be among them, to have a 3D camera with you and to have a 3D camera in 3D. “

Mars Excursions Aside, Executive Director of Outsiders Paul Becker has the opposite view of Old 2D reshaping movies. After key positions on the 3D conversion house in recent years, he has been dietary in early 2024 in the last year. Years. One of several new companies with the business plan depending on mechanical learning – artificial intelligence branch – for 3D conversions, which can reduce the cost of current prices. “What I do with studies is: We can get it very cheap, but (they) have to invest in it” to work in a larger scale. “What are new alliances that are not specific to the project are.”

As can be seen at work at work, when the “jaws” came in seconds with almost 10 million dollars, “the value of studies is not the current films they create; it is their archives,” says their archives. ” “They need to think about the technology of the machine, so we will be able to see every movie in 3D. If you do not have that content, it will be that contents will do that more baby bumbers will return to theaters, even for 3D RomCome.

It is the lice music entire Elizabeth Frank, whose company has installed its 3D platform at more than 30,000 screens in 75 countries. Frank hopes to distribute them to provide newer content. “(It is) the most profitable premium format that have consumers are ready to pay for almost a third, but it is very friendly to our partners, there is a real opportunity to catch more opportunities to catch more opportunities to catch the interest of consumers. ”

There is a good chance you’ve already seen learning a machine in action on the screen. The outsiders first tested their technology by turning the IMAX’s doctor of “Blue Angel”, published in January. “It was shocking how much work could have done through machine learning,” Becker says. “We were able to broadcast emissions with exponentially less manual work, put really talented artists on it and (have) much more time to focus on creative.” His staff of 50 people later worked on the Disney’s living action and CGI remake “Lilo & Stitch”, which is in a great billion dollars around the world, including $ 55 million, only from May only to July in North America. He now works at the work on the late stage on Disney’s “Throne: Ares”, 10. October.

As for AI that takes jobs from people in the industry, Becker says she understands their concerns, but emphasizes that he hires people. “I’m bringing all the people that my own elementions and I worked before (who) kept technology and / or budget.”

But in addition to the ethical question of job enjoyment of post-production workers, Herzog’s objection to turns his work more questions: Will filmmakers change their job to 3D or other formats without their consent? The director of “late celebrity” Kent Jones chose Ang Lee’s 2016 3D Drama “Billy Linn’s walk” Billy Linn’s walk “for NIFF when he was the director of the Fest, and he has some thoughts.

“Why stop in the movie? Why not grabbing pictures of any image in the world and that and that three-dimensional, it is one thing that was missing from Romco: 3D”, he was joking. “The idea that every new technological” progress “that is available progress is only funny, because it is all about being a store.”
