Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that major U.S. movie-theater chains were imposing steep ticket price increases, largely on 3-D films, because such showings had proved to be popular. The price hikes, which went into effect this weekend, were in at least one case as high as 26%.

　　《华尔街日报》上周曾报导，美国各主要连锁影院大幅提高电影票价，主要是针对3D电影，因此这类影片十分受欢迎。调价措施在周末生效，至少有一个影院的票价上调幅度高达26%。

　　Paul Dergarabedian, president of the box-office division of Hollywood.com, said via email that 3-D is proving its appeal to audiences with the success of movies like 'How to Train Your Dragon.' 'Thus far, a 3-D film has topped the box-office chart for nine out of the thirteen weekends of 2010,' Dergarabedian said.
