Some Caveats …

The various movie release dates below are subject to change at any time. Furthermore 3D releases may vary between the various nations around the world. Some movies may only release in 3D in locations outside of the United States, and vice versa. Even if a specific movie does have a 3D version available your local theaters may decide to not have 3D screenings or to have very limited 3D showings. Unforeseen world events may impact (delay) movie release dates. Some movies may suddenly move to streaming platforms (and vice versa) instead of receiving theatrical releases. Welcome to The Terrible 20’s ! Movies are a mess to follow but we try to make it easy to understand. Furthermore decisions on the 3D and 2D release of certain films may not be decided until weeks or days before its release. We did our best to fact check this article and provide you with the most accurate information possible at the time of publication. This article is a living document and it will be updated regularly as needed as information changes. We are not 100% confident that all the featured movies below will be released in 3D. Therefore we created a basic probability scale to compliment this preview. Probability rates and release dates are only based for the United States. It is extremely difficult to know if a certain movie will release in 3D in specific nation, as that information isn’t always widely available. Therefore we limited this probability scale is for the United States region since that is where the vast majority of the web traffic to 3Dor2D originates from.

Our probability scale is below:

✅ Confirmed to have a 3D Release
🟦 High Probability
🟧 Medium Probability

Avatar: The Way of Water reaches new heights and explores undiscovered depths as James Cameron returns to the world of Pandora in this emotionally packed action adventure. Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, "Avatar: The Way of Water" launches the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure. All of this against the breathtaking backdrop of Pandora, where audiences are introduced to new Na’vi cultures and a range of exotic sea creatures that populate the majestic oceans. Nominated for numerous Academy Awards® including Best Picture, the James Cameron-directed film became the third highest-grossing box office film of all-time and set a new benchmark for visual effects. Produced by Cameron and his longtime partner Jon Landau, the Lightstorm Entertainment production stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Cliff Curtis and Kate Winslet. Joining the illustrious adult cast are talented newcomers Britain Dalton, Jamie Flatters, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Bailey Bass and Jack Champion.

Trailer:

Pets on a Train

Release Date:

October 17

Trailer:

Info:

When a crew of animal bandits embark on a routine swindle, they find themselves in the middle of a high-tech, professional train heist. It?s up to Falcon, a petty thief and high-flying raccoon and Rex, a righteous police-dog, to save the animals stuck on this high-speed runway train.

Is Pets on a Train a 3D Movie release ? Unknown. 🟥 Low Probability.

The movie appears to be poorly executed. It looks like something that should have released back in 2007. Animated children’s movies usually get a 3D release, so it’s possible that Pets on a Train might be released in 3D.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Release Date:

October 22

Trailer:

Info:

Bored with the same old scare-and-scream routine? Pumpkin King Jack Skellington returns to the big screen in Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas for two nights only. The film follows the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloween town's beloved Pumpkin King, who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the "real world." When Jack accidentally stumbles on Christmas town, all bright colors and warm spirits, he gets a new lease on life -- he plots to bring Christmas under his control by kidnapping Santa Claus and taking over the role. But Jack soon discovers even the best-laid plans of mice and skeleton men can go seriously awry. Starring Chris Sarandon, Catherine O’Hara, William Hickey, Ken Page, Ed Ivory, Paul Reubens, & Danny Elfman.

Denji worked as a Devil Hunter for the yakuza, trying to pay off the debt he inherited from his parents, until the yakuza betrayed him and had him killed. As he was losing consciousness, Denji’s beloved chainsaw-powered devil-dog, Pochita, made a deal with Denji and saved his life. This fused the two together, creating the unstoppable Chainsaw Man. Now, in a brutal war between devils, hunters, and secret enemies, a mysterious girl named Reze has stepped into his world, and Denji faces his deadliest battle yet, fueled by love in a world where survival knows no rules.

https://chainsawman.movie/

Is Chainsaw Man a 3D Movie release ? Probably. 🟦 High Probability

RealD recently featured this movie on X. Below is a screenshot.

RealD doesn’t advertise or mention movies that are NOT releasing in 3D. It seems odd that 3D is not mentioned in the trailer, poster or the website. This isn’t 100% confirmation but it seems like it is a high possibility that Chainsaw Man gets a 3D release.

Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)

Release Date:

October 26 (Regal Cinemas - Limited Release)

Trailer:

Info:

A strange prehistoric beast lurks in the depths of the Amazonian jungle. A group of scientists try to capture the animal and bring it back to civilization for study.

November

Grand Prix of Europe

Release Date:

November 7 (This is for the US release, this film recently released in Europe)

Trailer:

Info:

Did you know that, in addition to the new 90-minute feature film GRAND PRIX OF EUROPE, there are also a number of animated short films by MACK Magic featuring Ed, Edda and their friends? Ed & Edda made their debut on the big screen at the Magic Cinema 4D in Europa-Park back in 2011 with the 4D film 'The Secret of Castle Balthasar'. With three 4D film productions to date, Ed & Edda have already thrilled millions of viewers. The next highlight will follow in summer 2025: their first 90-minute feature film, in cinemas everywhere.

https://www.grand-prix-of-europe.com/en/the-world-of-ed-edda

Is Grand Prix of Europe a 3D movie release? 🟦 High Probability

When Grand Prix of Europe was released in Europe, it had a 3D release. Therefore, we anticipate a 3D release for the United States as well. However, at the time of this article’s publication, we cannot definitively confirm a 3D release for the US release of Grand Prix of Europe.

Predator Badlands

Release Date:

November 7

Trailer:

Info:

The Running Man (2025)

Release Date:

November 14

Trailer:

Info:

In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show on television—a deadly competition where contestants, known as Runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and each day bringing a greater cash reward. Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort. But Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite—and a threat to the entire system. As ratings skyrocket, so does the danger, and Ben must outwit not just the Hunters, but a nation addicted to watching him fall.

Is The Running Man (2025) a 3D movie release? 🟥 Low Probability

There’s no proof that The Running Man (2025) will come out in 3D. It would be great to see it in 3D. We hope it’s released that way because it fits the style perfectly.

Wicked for Good

Release Date:

November 21

Trailer:

Info:

Last year’s global cinematic cultural sensation, which became the most successful Broadway film adaptation of all time, now reaches its epic, electrifying, emotional conclusion in Wicked: For Good.

Directed once again by award-winning director Jon M. Chu and starring the spectacular returning cast, led by Academy Award® nominated superstars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the final chapter of the untold story of the witches of Oz begins with Elphaba and Glinda estranged and living with the consequences of their choices.

Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum).

Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard.

As Glinda’s stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Olivier award winner and Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boq (Tony nominee Ethan Slater) and Fiyero forever, and threaten the safety of Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose (Marissa Bode), when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives.

As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.
