Analysis: Will "Meet the Robinsons” and 3D Technology Transform the Movie Industry?

Authored by Jay Baage on March 28, 2007 - 8:13pm.
A topic that came up frequently during Digital Media Wire’s recent Future of Film conference was that digital 3D-technology is a beacon of light for the movie industry. I got the feeling that 3D can be a game-changing technology - a feeling that was supported on Wednesday when the heads of the top U.S. movie theater chain Regal Entertainment Group and largest independent animation studio, DreamWorks Animation SKG, came out and gave their best predictions for what 3D can mean for the movie business.
