That's what happened.

Avatar's impact on film and bringing 3D back is the cause.  Then studios decided to jump on the bandwagon and saw huge results.  Alice in Wonderland brought in over 300 million, Shrek Forever After and How to Train Your Dragon, both in 3D and both have over 200 million in the box office.

Even Clash of the Titans pulled in over 160 million, due largely in part to 3D.

So long as studios continue to see huge numbers from 3D films, it won't go away anytime soon.  Factor in 3D televisions coming out, along with 3D programming and it could very well become another facet of our entertainment.  Now, 3D television and programming could just be a smaller niche market that never crosses over to become the standard, but for film it's going to be a common occurrence for several years, or at least until studios fail to see significant gains from 3D movies.

Some of these films were being made at the same time. Avatar didn't set any standard, how long was that movie in production? Everyone just caught wind of the power of the new technology and went for it. Trends exist everywhere and eventually everything comes back.

Neither did Clash of the Titans.

Im not up for this marketing ploy of throwing 2 3D scenes in and
then raising the ticket price $6. (Can't even keep the glasses, they're recycled)

Some movies I just want to watch.
Besides 2D fries the brain enough as it is.
