3D Post-release-post-conversions
By now everyone knows there are two types of films in 3D: natively shot (ex. Avatar, The Hobbit, animated films,...) and post-converted.
Post-conversion however comes in several forms:
-3D was always intended from the start of filming and was always part of the creative process (ex. Piranha, Alice in Wonderland, The Avengers,...)
-3D was not initially intended and was a post-production decision from the studio (ex. Clash of the Titans, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, The Last Airbender,..)
And finally there are films that were initially released in 2D, but years down the line have been converted to 3D, with or without the approval/participation of the original creators, sometimes with an accompanying theatrical re-release, sometimes straight to blu-ray. This is the subject of this list
