Seeing Smaug in HFR 3D costs moviegoers the same as a regular 3D ticket, so theater owners don’t necessarily get a financial bump from luring audiences to HFR over non-HFR 3D.

whose New Line unit is producing the Hobbit movies with MGM - Jackson forecasted in April 2011 that the first movie would open on about 10,000 screens in HFR. Jackson argued that HFR images would have more clarity, reduce camera blur and be easier to watch, especially in 3D. A few visionaries - like effects ace Douglas Trumbull, who began developing a 60 fps process called Showscan during the late ’70s and continues to promote the concept of HFR - have tried to move the needle, but it wasn’t until Jackson began his Hobbit trilogy that 48 fps gained traction. Since the 1920s, Hollywood movies have been made at 24 frames per second. Bryan Singer, who visited Wellington, New Zealand, for The Hobbit‘s premiere, says he found the look of Jackson’s movie “really stunning.” But for X-Men: Days of Future Past, opening May 23, he stuck with 24 fps because, he says, “I had concerns about how certain sequences would look, and there is also a cost factor in rendering the visual effects.”
