Finding Nemo, 3-D!

September 13, 2012 

     “Finding Nemo’s” 3-D re-release was said to go swimmingly at the box office and was expected to debut at No.1. Walt Disney Studios had decided to pull a handful of its most popular animated titles out of the vault for 3-D re-releases a month after “The Lion King 3-D” scored at the box office. Disney expected “Finding Nemo” to ultimately sell more tickets than “Beauty and the Beast," but fewer than “Lion King.” The studio said it spent under $5 million to convert “Finding Nemo” to 3-D, meaning it should be a financial winner for Disney. When Pixar's Animation's "Finding Nemo" was first released nine years ago, it debuted to glowing critical reviews and it had won the Oscar for best animated feature. When 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures distributed “Titanic 3-D” in April, the movie did massive global business, raking in nearly $350 million worldwide. I think this article is important, because I thought this was an amazing and smart idea. I didn't think they would actually "re-release" a movie, back in theaters, but in 3-D. This article caught my eye, because i absolutely love Finding Nemo, but didnt get to watch it in 3-D. I think it gives out a much different perspective when its in 3-D, not just this movie, but any other movie. 
     There is an impact of this article on me as a student, a future filmmaker, and a consumer, because as a student i would definitely go out to watch these re-releases in theaters in 3-D. As a future filmmaker, I would keep this in mind by re-releasing a movie in theaters because I think it's a very smart way to make good business.

A question that came up was, What movie is next in line for a re-releasing in 3-D???
