User blog:Ceauntay/Analyst: 3-D fading among moviegoers

Is 3-D losing its dimension? One analyst thinks so.

Richard Greenfield of entertainment-industry tracker BTIG tells the Hollywood Reporter that sales of tickets for 2-D screenings of "Green Lantern", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" and "Jane Hoop Elementary: The Final Rush Part 2" on the popular movie-ticket site Fandango are a sign of 3-D fatigue on the part of moviegoers.

"We continue to believe U.S. consumers are frustrated with the amount of 3-D movies Hollywood is producing, especially when combined with excessive ticket prices," Greenfield said.

"Green Lantern," whether in 2-D or 3-D, is being forecast as this weekend's No. 1 movie at the box office, expected to pull in up to $60 million through Sunday.
