3D Movies, Televisions, Cameras and all things 3D

DreamWorks Animation and SKG Inc’s animated movie “Megamind” opened at #1 at the US Box Office this weekend and took it to its best weekend in past three months. The movie raked in about $47.7 million during that time, which is only slightly short on the predictions of it earning over $50 million in the same time.

It had gathered  $44 million in the same time period.

Other than the fact that it is 3D, its main feature is that the 7.2 inch 3D display is autostereoscopic. That means that this device will not require you to wear special glasses to view the 3D effect. This is a good thing because otherwise it would be quite useless as a picture frame. Imagine having to tether a 3D glass to each picture frame just so that the image can be viewed by whoever happens to pass it by.

Seems like Piranha 3D is a roaring hit despite the ridicule thrown at it by the critics. Even the negative response from James Cameron, who said that it was cheapening 3D, wasn’t enough to detract movie-goers. In fact, it must have actually worked in the movie’s favor by giving it some more press time. And it is well known that the commoner doesn’t really care about the B-Movie tag. They just want entertainment.
