No 4k 3D bluray
For some reason, they didn't include 3D in the 4K bluray standard. Yet they're still releasing many movies in 4K 3D in movie theaters. It just doesn't make sense.

I recall hearing that 4K televisions (or players...or something) cannot and absolutely will not play 3D.
That is to say you'll never get a 4K 3D release on home media.
I'm don't understand it but I remember hearing people who know much more on the matter than me saying that Friday the 13th: Part III (1982) will never get a 3D release on 4K due to the fact (and thus the 3D blu ray from the recent boxset may be the last time it gets a 3D release on home media).
Something to do with the industry making the televisions/players without the technology to play it or something. They've decided against 3D home media.
"They've decided against 3D home media."
Of course. 3D in movies SUCKS. Why else do you think this fad keeps fading?
Apparently, 3D sales were declining. But it wouldn't have cost much more to produce 4k 3D tv sets and players.
share3D for home consumer use died over 5 years ago. The brands stopped making the TV sets because almost no one was buying them. There may still be a few projector sets on the market, but they are a much more complex and costly project than any direct-view set. They still make 3D Blu-Ray players, but they are strictly to service the base of pre-existing TV owners. Same thing with 3D discs.
As long as you HAVE to wear special, stupid, ugly eyeglasses, 3D at home is a nonstarter.
PS It doesn’t make you look very bright to make bold statements about the production costs in an industry about which you know Jack shit.
3D tv sets weren't expensive. Why would 4k 3D cost that much more? 4K tv sets cost next to nothing. 3D would have added a few bucks to the sales price. In my opinion, this is just another case of the industry making wrong decisions. As long as they're releasing 4K 3D titles in cinemas, they should give us the opportunity to enjoy them at home, too.
Maybe 3D sales were declining because people were switching to 4K?
I have a 3D TV, a 3D Blu-Ray player, and twenty or so 3D Blu-Rays. The 3D effect looks great on my set-up. It's a shame that 4K didn't incorporate 3D.
