It only makes sense to have less of a markup for them due to that.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-18-2010 03:36 PM                     At least for the time being the markup is not to pay for the glasses. If I understand correctly the studios pay for the glasses. The markup goes to the studios (which I guess indirectly pays for the glasses), RealD, and whatever small portion is left over goes to the theatre. Kid glasses are an excellent idea; I can't tell you how many kids I've seen not wearing the glasses during the movie. I can't say for sure its a comfort issue but I have a strong suspicion thats whats going on.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

They'll be very popular and are a great idea.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 05-18-2010 04:48 PM                     Funny, when I see families attending Real D movies that the kids more enjoy the glasses when they take them home thinking that they're great costume, or novelty attair than the real purpose of seeing a 3D movie with. ..don't you love the young minds of our children? -Monte  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

Kind of a cool idea. edit: Oh I see, the glasses are just smaller. Not themed in any way. Nevermind then.  |  IP: Logged Manny Montes Master Film Handler Posts: 270 From: United States Registered: Feb 2010 posted 05-20-2010 12:47 AM                     We've had these for about a month now, the "kids" glasses are more for kids aged 0-6, they are TINY.  |  IP: Logged Elise Brandt Expert Film Handler Posts: 160 From: Kuusankoski, FIN/ Kouvola, Finland Registered: Dec 2009 posted 05-20-2010 08:19 AM                     Anyone have smaller sizes on the Xpand glasses? Are there any..? (I'm guessing no at the moment) kiddie sizes would be welcome at our cinema, plus I would personally like to get a pair, if even just one, for myself. My head? Tiny too.  |  IP: Logged
