New age of 3D may be big, but it is unlikely to combat piracy threat

A revival of 3D cinema did not come until the 1980s, with the launch of IMAX, but these films could only be viewed on a small number of screens. For a long time, 3D films have been viewed as a gimmick. They have been used to revive an old franchise such as the Jaws series or to simply demonstrate the technology at science museums and theme parks.
