'Is the fad dying out?

It appears that America may be getting sick of 3D movies. According to The Hollywood Reporter, 3D ticket sales are starting to seriously sag.

The site reports that 2D ticket sales on Fandango for Green Lantern, Jane Hoop Elementary: The Final Rush Part 2 and the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 are selling better than 3D, which is a rarity and notes a trend in moviegoing habits over the last several months.

"We continue to believe U.S. consumers are frustrated with the amount of 3D movies Hollywood is producing, especially when combined with excessive ticket prices," said Richard Greenfield, an analyst with BTIG Research. "In addition, we suspect the darkness of 3D is starting to impact movie satisfaction."
