Why is it so hard to watch Raya and the Last Dragon in 3D ?

Why is it so hard to watch Raya and the Last Dragon in 3D ?

3D fans are struggling to find 3D screenings of Raya and the Last Dragon. Why is this ? 🤔

1. Cinemark Theatres are refusing to show it

A Cinemark representative tells Deadline tonight, “In the current operating environment, we are making near-term booking decisions on a discrete, film-by-film basis, focusing on the long-term benefit of exhibitors, studios and moviegoers. While we are having conversations with The Walt Disney Company, we have not yet reached agreeable licensing terms for Raya and the Last Dragon. As we continue to work with our studio partners, we remain optimistic that we will reach mutually beneficial terms that will provide moviegoers the opportunity to see the exciting film lineup in our theatres.”

- Deadline

Essentially this means that Cinemark wants more money from showings of Raya and the Last Dragon. Disney refuses this deal so Cinemark refuses to show the movie in their cinemas. To learn more about these movies deals read the section below :

"Movie Studios — Arrangements vary, but the movie studio usually ends up with about 60 percent of the proceeds from American box offices. Overseas, the number is usually less, anywhere from 20 percent to 40 percent depending on the film distribution arrangements, agreements, and other costs associated with foreign distribution (not to mention piracy).

- TheWeek

With Raya and The Last Dragon being available to stream via Disney Plus Premier it’s understandable to why some theater chains want to renegotiate their film deals.

2. Very few theaters are showing it in 3D

Disney in their curtain raiser note reported that Raya will play in 2,000+ theaters this Friday (March 5th), including 200 IMAX screens, 360 Premium Large Format screens, 160 3D locations, and 45 D-Box/4D screens. The opening for Raya and the Last Dragon is in the $6M-$7M+ range per industry estimates.
- Deadline

Only 160 locations are showing Raya and the Last Dragon in 3D nationwide (USA).

According to NATOONLINE.ORG (National Association of Theatre Owners) 5,477 is the total number of US theater locations in 2020.

About 3% of US cinemas are currently showing Raya and the Last Dragon in 3D.

Remember that 3% does not include any cienmark theaters. I imagine that the number of open theatre’s is much lower, as many theaters never reopened after 2020.

Bottom-line :

Count yourself lucky if Raya and the Last Dragon is playing in 3D in a theatre near you. I recommend that 3D fans go watch Raya and the Last Dragon in 3D if they can because you may not get another chance. 3D Blu-ray releases are far from guaranteed anymore so go if you can and please be safe. Currently we cannot do a full 3D review of this movie because of the limited 3D availability. We plan to do 2D movie review podcasts for Raya and the Last Dragon in the coming days.

What can 3D Fans do , if anything?


I recommend you respectfully and calmly contact your local theater via email and tell them you want to see Raya and the Last Dragon in 3D (You might need to contact supervisors or corporate offices). With enough demand the theaters may try to get 3D screenings. They probably won’t care but it’s worth a shot.

WB finally reveals the first trailer to Mortal Kombat (2021)

WB finally reveals the first trailer to Mortal Kombat (2021)

The above trailer is age restricted for violent imagery and adult themes.


Information:

From New Line Cinema comes the explosive new cinematic adventure “Mortal Kombat,” inspired by the blockbuster video game franchise, which most recently enjoyed the most successful video game launch in its history, Mortal Kombat 11. The film is helmed by award-winning Australian commercial filmmaker Simon McQuoid, marking his feature directorial debut, and produced by James Wan (“The Conjuring” universe films, “Aquaman,”), Todd Garner (“Into the Storm,” “Tag”), McQuoid and E. Bennett Walsh (“Men in Black: International,” “The Amazing Spider-Man 2”).

In “Mortal Kombat,” MMA fighter Cole Young, accustomed to taking a beating for money, is unaware of his heritage—or why Outworld's Emperor Shang Tsung has sent his best warrior, Sub-Zero, an otherworldly Cryomancer, to hunt Cole down. Fearing for his family's safety, Cole goes in search of Sonya Blade at the direction of Jax, a Special Forces Major who bears the same strange dragon marking Cole was born with. Soon, he finds himself at the temple of Lord Raiden, an Elder God and the protector of Earthrealm, who grants sanctuary to those who bear the mark. Here, Cole trains with experienced warriors Liu Kang, Kung Lao and rogue mercenary Kano, as he prepares to stand with Earth’s greatest champions against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe. But will Cole be pushed hard enough to unlock his arcana—the immense power from within his soul—in time to save not only his family, but to stop Outworld once and for all?

The diverse international cast reflects the global nature of the brand, with talent spanning the worlds of film, television and martial arts. The ensemble includes Lewis Tan (“Deadpool 2,” Netflix’s “Wu Assassins”) as Cole Young; Jessica McNamee (“The Meg”) as Sonya Blade; Josh Lawson (“Bombshell”) as Kano; Tadanobu Asano (“Midway”) as Lord Raiden; Mehcad Brooks (TV’s “Supergirl”) as Jackson “Jax” Bridges; Ludi Lin (“Aquaman”) as Liu Kang; with Chin Han (“Skyscraper”) as Shang Tsung; Joe Taslim (“Star Trek Beyond”) as Bi-Han and Sub-Zero; and Hiroyuki Sanada (“Skyscraper”) as Hanzo Hasashi and Scorpion. Also featured are Max Huang as Kung Lao; Sisi Stringer as Mileena; Matilda Kimber as Emily Young; and Laura Brent as Allison Young.

McQuoid directed from a screenplay by Greg Russo and Dave Callaham (“Wonder Woman 1984”), from a story by Oren Uziel (“Mortal Kombat: Rebirth”) and Russo, based on the videogame created by Ed Boon and John Tobias. Richard Brener, Dave Neustadter, Victoria Palmeri, Michael Clear, Jeremy Stein and Larry Kasanoff served as executive producers.

Bringing the hugely popular property to the big screen, McQuoid led a team of Australian and U.S. filmmakers, including director of photography Germain McMicking (“True Detective,” “Top of the Lake: China Girl”), production designer Naaman Marshall (“Underwater,” “Servant”), editors Dan Lebental (“Spider-Man: Far From Home”) and Scott Gray (“Top of the Lake,” “Daffodils”), visual effect supervisor Chris Godfrey (“Hacksaw Ridge”) and costume designer Cappi Ireland (“Lion,” “The Rover”). The music is by Benjamin Wallfisch (“Blade Runner 2049,” the “IT” films).

New Line Cinema Presents an Atomic Monster/Broken Road Production, “Mortal Kombat.” The film is set for release nationwide on April 16, 2021 in theaters and will be available in the U.S. on HBO Max for 31 days from theatrical release. It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.


Mortal Kombat (2021) is scheduled to release in theatres April 16th 2021 in 3D and 2D. It will also be available in the US on HBO Max for 31 days from theatrical release.
