3D movies have accounted for 33 percent of the box office this year

This one is for all of those who wonder why everyone is so 3D crazy, you see while you might think it is a gimmick, people are paying extra to go see movies in 3D at the theater. In fact since Avatar was released, 33 percent of box office earnings are from 3D movies, according to the trade group International 3D Society. Even more reason to get excited is because we're only talking four movies here. So the next time you wonder why every TV manufacture, cable company and set-top maker is 3D crazy, you'll remember it's because consumers have shown they'll pay more for 3D, and everyone want to get in on some of that action.
