The number of films in 3D seems to go in spurts. We had a point in mid-July where we could have had as many as 5 3D movies at one time in my 5 screen complex. But by the time Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs comes out September 27, we will have gone nearly a month between major 3D releases. I'm not counting Battle of the Year on September 20 since it is limited to about 1800 theatres.
In October there is only one 3D release - Gravity. Then there are 3 in November and 3 or 4 in December.
By my count there have already been 23 major 3D releases in 2013 (with another 8-9 remaining). By comparison there were 27 in 2012, 34 in 2011, 22 in 2010, and 11 in 2009.
For year to date 2013, there have been 23 3D movies to play in 1500+ theatres, and 84 total movies to play that wide. That means the 3D movies accounted for about 27% of the major releases to date. For 2012 it was about 20% for the year, in 2011 it was about 25%, 17% in 2010, and only 8.5% in 2009.
The full comparison of 2013 can't be made until after we see what happens with the various Awards contenders, but you can figure it will be 31-32 3D out of a total of around 130 titles to play in 1500+ theatres. For what it's worth, my uncertainty of the total number of 3D films is because I'm not clear on whether Walter Mitty is supposed to be 3D.
