          The majority 3d screenings must’ve been specifically for opening weekend. I guess they thought people watching it on opening weekend are more likely to pay extra for the 3d showings if it was the only option.

            That might have been the case where you live. Here there are always more 2d screenings than 3d (including on opening night), since people here think think of 3d as more of a gimmick and usually not worth the extra price

        I didn’t even know this movie had 3D. I didn’t see a single 3D showing in my area.
