(03/10/2008) AUSTIN, Texas -- Owned Entertainment, Inc. announced today the MMA based movie “Own3D” Will be released theatrically in both 3D as well as 2D. The movie will be shot using the same camera technology used in the U2 3D concert as well Hannah Montana 3D which made $29 million opening weekend on only 600 screens averaging $42,460 per screen. 3D technology is not the same as the gimmicks of past and Hollywood has taken notice. Movies shown in 3D average three times as much per screen at the box office as regular releases and are shown using the latest innovations in technology. The technology allows for release on Imax 3D, Real D as well as Dolby 3D screens. Mr. Hergott’s first movie “All That I Need” was shot on a shoestring budget yet was released theatrically in Regal, Edwards and United Artist multiplexes nationally. Hergott comments; “With a predicted 7000 screens in 3D by 2009, but only a handful of 3D releases per year, there is a huge demand for more 3D content. By shooting the movie in 3D we can bring the audience into the action. Owned Entertainment wants to be on the forefront of where the future of the industry is headed.” ‘Owned’ 3D release version will be marketed as Own3D with a ‘3’ taking place of the inverted ‘E’.

Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation, recently commented on 3D: "3D has the opportunity to be the most important innovation in film since the use of color in motion pictures. 90% of all piracy comes from a camcorder aimed at the screen. You can't 'camcorder' 3D movies. All Dreamworks animated movies from 2009 on will be created and shown in 3D." Investors are also beginning to take notice. Shamrock capital growth fund recently invested $50 million in Real D technology. Managing director Stephen Royer commented “The 3-D market is at a point of explosive growth’.
