And no, I never would have expected that Avatar would outpace Titanic to the top.  I mean, sure 3D screenings are more expensive, but the real surprise is that 75% of the tickets were for the 3D version.  That's a big percentage!  I wouldn't mind more movies being in 3D, as long as they don't go overboard and just bring some depth to the image.

I was actually a bit concerned I waited too long and Avatar would only be in 2D at this point.  As it turned out, there were only a couple of 2D screenings, and most of the available times were for 3D.

The only drawback was the expense.  It was an extra $3 for 3D, plus another $2 on top of that for XD, which I gather is a bigger screen and somewhat more comfy chair.  Of course, because the chair rocked, it meant I was getting kicked from behind much more often. I think next time I'll save the $2 and just go with the regular 3D.
