The $2.50 extra cost for the 3-D experience at ShowPlace 16 in Rockford lasted about five weeks. The cost now is $3.50 extra, in addition to the ticket price of the show.

The experience started with the release of “Coraline” on Feb. 20.  The extra price for the experience was bumped up a buck starting for last Friday’s release of “Monsters vs. Aliens.”

Barry Tester, advertising manager for Kerasotes Theatres, which owns the movie theaters in Rockford and Machesney Park, said today he could not say why the price increased. Those who could comment were out of town at a convention, he said.
