A new wave of 3D movies is coming to theaters.
Unfortunately, it’s not what the format needs.
The box-office flop "Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore" (below) was the first of August's trio of new films in the format that's supposed to be revolutionizing theatergoing. Of the three, only one – the dance movie “Step Up 3D,” which opens Friday – will have been shot in 3D.
The other two were conversions, shot in 2D and then dimensionalized in post-production: “Cats & Dogs," which finished sixth at the box office with a take of only $12.3
