The answer to that question should be pretty obvious by now. That price is a bit high, and it just does not make any sense to do 3D on all movies released. Animation costs just a fraction of that price to convert. Titantic 3D costs far less than $20 million to convert. So movies require more intensive handling than others with post 3D

Of all 771 3D bluray movies on Amazon, one wonder how many movies have spend that kind of money for 3D conversion
Quite a few of them where already shot in 3D. IMAX had a bunch of titles already in 3D. Animation is already designed in 3D, and can be cheaply stereoized easily and quickly.
