Hollywood is not doing so hot with its new releases, but it’s hoping to find gold elsewhere.
In its vaults. And in today’s higher-ticket-price formats.
Last weekend, five months after Paramount’s 3D Imax re-release of “Titanic,” the studio re-released “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark” for a one-week Imax run (Fox handled international).
On Friday, Disney rolls out its third toon adapted for 3D, following “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Lion King”: the less-than-a-decade-old “Finding Nemo."
More are in the offing from the Mouse House, which has had a long history with regular-format re-releases. It will bring back a 3D “Monsters, Inc.”
