It's hardly out of nowhere, it's just that Avatar has made it into this big
thing so it seems sudden. I think Avatar has introduced it to the large
segment of the public that don't see a lot of movies and so didn't know 3D
was back in vogue. But it's been coming for almost a decade, driven by the
studio's concern with DVDs eroding box office receipts and enabled by the
vastly improved CGI quality that (largely) came out of the Lord of the Rings
trilogy.

Cheers,
Steve
