If studios can re-release classic films, or films that would have been better in 3D (but at the time it did not occur to the director), not only would they be cutting costs but would profit from having regular moviegoers (who willingly spend the extra five bucks for the 3D experience) watch a film they probably own and have watched a hundred times.
