Unglaublich, in China sahen 95% der Kinobesucher JW in 3D, in Deutschland 89%, in Brasilien 78% und in Russland 74%

Jurassic World’s dino-sized debut is another strong indication that moviegoers want excellent 3D experiences and the studios are providing the best 3D offerings in

years…maybe ever,” said Anthony Marcoly, President of Worldwide Cinema at RealD. “2015 will be remembered as a watershed year for this format with one of the strongest 3D slates we have ever seen.”!

“Jurassic World in 3D is a fantastic experience which brings the audience closer to the action,“ said Nicholas Carpou, President of Domestic Distribution for Universal Pictures. „It is no surprise to us that audiences are responding in big numbers to this fantastic film.“!

Even Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow believes the moviegoing experience is enhanced when his film is seen in 3D.

Said Trevorrow, “My goal with this movie was always to make sure Jurassic World felt like a real place and in 3D you feel like you are there… For us, it was about creating the most visceral, immersive experience possible. And this kind of technology (3D) does what I hope the whole movie does, which is make everyone in the audience—regardless of their age—feel like a kid again.”!

Recent 3D successes worldwide have included San Andreas, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Avengers: Age of Ultron, among others

. Upcoming this summer and through the end of the year, there is growing excitement for 3D motion pictures as diverse as In-side Out, Terminator: Genisys, Minions, The Walk, The Martian, Pixels, Pan, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, among others.
