3D Trend Growing Too Rapidly?

It's easy to tell that 3D isn't going to go away any time soon. Alice in Wonderland is already the biggest film of the year as a result of the process. This week it's competing with How to Train Your Dragon for theatres. Next week will only be worse, with Clash of the Titans set to release after converting to 3D at the last minute. Now it looks like there won't be enough 3D screens for this fall's slate of movies. November was already packed with Megamind, Tangled, Tron Legacy, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 all releasing in 3D. Now 20th Century Fox is catching up with competing companies and converting Gulliver's Travels and Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader in 3D.

I love 3D films and am all for the slow transition into 3D, but it should probably be a little slower. Obviously 3D is a big selling point, and a reason for people to catch films in the theatres, but it takes a while for theatres to change their screens into 3D screens. They're doing to best they can to match the supply with the demand, but it's just happening too fast. What is your opinion? I want to know what you think.
