Clash of the Titans Looks to Be in For a good Weekend (and 3-D hate)

The next of the major 2-D conversions to 3-D blockbusters seems to be in line for a stellar box office despite mixed reviews. Clash of the Titans is a remake from the 1981 classic (it was a favorite of mine as a kid, but it was utter cheeseball), and looks to be ready to pull in $6-75 million over the weekend despite a lot of complaints.

With Hollywood going full board into the 3-D realm, every movie that is coming out practically is going 3-D. We've even heard it getting so far as home 3-D HDTV, and cell phones joining in later. Whether it makes any sense for it to be in 3-D, or not is besides the point. Hollywood knows they can jack ticket prices up 25% regardless if they screen them in 3-D. This is one of the major negatives of the current trend, and movie goers aren't excited about it.

Of course if you can find a non-3D screening you have nothing to complain about.
