The weekend is finally here, and many of you are probably already well into the weekend planning.
The less prepared are now facing that age old question: What am I going to do this weekend?
You could call a friend or two, go out to a bar, watch a sporting event (Go Cards!)…the list is practically endless.
A lot of you though will end up at the same popular conclusion—the movies.
And for those of you willing to shell out the extra cash for a 3-D film, enjoy these low prices while they last.
Yes, that’s right prices may soon be going up. Movie studios are tired of giving all of you a free ride.
Starting in May 2012, Sony Pictures’ plans to stop covering the price of 3-D glasses.
Do you think those 3-D glasses grow on trees?
Raise your hand if you believed the $3 charge already added to your ticket price was for the awesome 3-D shades.
I’m guilty as well. I mean they’re fancy shades, but $3 probably more than covers their production costs.
However, this doesn’t seem to be the case, and avid collectors of 3-D glasses will soon see the investment made by their sticky fingers and slippery minds pay off (where exactly do the “recycled” glasses go?).
Sorry, unintentional free-loaders, your short, but glorious run is over.
Look at the bright-side, maybe the quality of 3-D films will improve.
It could happen.
