The movie industry is making a big push back to the 3D movie line. Back when it was new and therefore cool, everyone would go see a new movie in 3D, but the buzz has dwindled down considerably since then. There simply is not as big of a demand for 3D movies anymore. So why would they bring back old movies but put them in 3D? It makes a lot of money. It is more likely that people will pay the extra money to go see their favorite old movie in a theater with the big screen than go see a new movie in 3D anymore. They are willing to pay the extra $3 or so for the glasses because they want to enjoy the experience. They are forgetting that the old movies are not equipped for 3D. They have very little 3D effects in them unlike the movies made for 3D showings.
Disney first tested the waters with The Lion King in 3D. It was a huge success considering The Lion King is a major favorite Disney classic loved by most people. Plus, the movie targeted people of all ages. Adults would take their children to see the movie because they had never seen it in theaters the first time and children love Disney movies. Also, teenagers who grew up with Disney went to see it because they are still a child at heart. To target the older audiences and people who simply do not appreciate Disney movies, they are making Star Wars and the Titanic in 3D. I am sure that those movies will be Box Office hits too considering their appeal to the masses.
There is really no valid reason for converting those old movies into 3D. The movie industry is only doing it out of greed. Instead of coming up with new interesting stories, they have made it a habit of bringing up old ones hoping that the population will respond satisfactorily (which they have). Unfortunately, this means that more movies are going to be converted into 3D format and less creativity will be happening.
