Technicolor has announced a deal to install their analog (film based) 3D system for 25 screens.
This is an interesting method where the L/R images are compressed vertically and printed on the film in an over/under fashion (sort of like the TV over/under scheme). A special split lens stretches the images vertically (sort of a rotated cinescope). Circular polarization is required. Theaters only have to spend $4,000 to $6,000 to install a silver screen and pay Technicolor $1,000 license fee (max of $12,000 per year).
This is viewed as a quick and cheap solution to insufficient 3D screens in the country.
