The provided graph and chart illustrate information about the evolution of the quantity of digital 3D screens and 3D film releases globally from 2005 to circa 2011-2012.
Overall, both the number of global digital 3D screens and that of global 3D cinema releases had a similar growth pattern and witnessed an upward trend from 2005 to around 2012, reaching their pinnacles in 2011 and 2012 respectively.
Firstly, in respect of the number of global digital 3D screens, it had remained relatively low under 10,000 between 2005 and 2008 before starting to surge dramatically in 2009. By the end of 2011, the number of screens had rocketed to nearly 40,000.
Secondly, when taking into account the quantity of 3D movie releases around the globe, there was an obviously alike pattern of evolution to that of digital 3D screens – it had also stayed within the lower-than-ten range until 2009, with animation allegedly being the only genre of cinema releases throughout the period of 2005-2007. The majority of film releases had still been made up of animation up to 2010 when live action rode the wave and eventually gained an advantage in 2011 and 2012 (about 30 in 50 total works and over 40 in 70 total works respectively).
