It's ever-increasingly common for 3D movies to not actually be filmed or rendered in 3D because it's so much cheaper to fake it in post.

Of the 13 3D movies released this year only four are native 3D, and those are all fully CGI animation, so none of them used 3D cameras. Avatar 2 (2022) was the last movie to use 3D cameras for live action shots and Avatar 3 is the only upcoming movie known to be using them. It's beyond niche at this point unless your name is James Cameron.




Well of course, movies are composited so heavily these days that you can simply toss another step in the pipeline and have a 3d conversion. It's amazingly easy now.
