2020 3D Movie Release schedule

( Last Updated November 20th 2020 )

  1. The Croods 2 ( A New World ) - November 25th ( Was December 23rd )

  2. Wonder Woman 1984 - December 25th * This movie will also release via HBO MAX same day as theatrical release and will not cost anything extra. ( Source )

  3. Monster Hunter ( December 25th )


Release dates and 3D status are subject to change at any time. Assuming that the theaters are open for business will the six movies above still have 3D as an option ? We don’t know. We hope so but it’s not certain or absolutely guaranteed. Let’s hope for the best but honestly we don’t know for sure and 3D maybe dropped or not available worldwide. Hopefully covid-19 can be controlled and potentially cured in the near future. We also don’t know if the 3D aspect will be limited to specific regions, specific theatre chains, or be available at all. Some regions may receive some 3D movies that are not available all around the world. For Example Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was scheduled to re-release in China April 30th ( source ) but that didn’t happen because Chinese theaters closed ( source ). We will update you once more information is available.
