3D cinema a costly affair (Austria)

Cinemas in Vienna add around 2.50 Euros to normal ticket prices for 3D movies, a survey has shown.
The Labour Chamber (AK) said today (Mon) that tickets for 3D films in cinemas in the federal capital cost an average 2.50 Euros more than tickets for other movies.
The body also pointed out significant general ticket price gaps ranging between special offers on one day of the week of 5.50 Euros to 10.20 Euros.
3D technology is expected to substantially change the movie industry as the number of films shown in 3D has risen immensely during the past few months.
“Resident Evil: Afterlife” director Paul W. S. Anderson told the Salzburger Nachrichten newspaper recently he could imagine 3D to have an impact on filmmaking like the change from silent to sound movies or the switch from black and white to colour had once had.
