3D ticket prices got hiked. A new 3D movie got raised.
The big-as-life cartoon How to Train Your Dragon topped the weekend box office with an estimated $43.3 million.
Hot Tub Time Machine, the stuck-in-the-'80s John Cusack comedy, debuted in third with a so-so $13.7 million, while the Top 10 bade farewell to Avatar. More results:
• According to reports, 3D-theater admissions were jacked up as much as 26 percent in honor of Dragon. "It's a mild disappintment when you look at that," Exhibitor Relations box-office analyst Jeff Bock said of the movie's opening-weekend gross.

The lack of Flash on the iPad is a sore point for many and often listed as one of its greatest potential weaknesses. Not allowing Flash on the iPhone is bad enough, but on the larger iPad with full-screen browsing, its absence will be much more noticeable. Or will it? Already the Web is adapting. Videos powered by Brightcove, for instance, will stream in an HTML5 video player when it detects an iPad. On the iPhone browser, the video thumbnail will open up the Quicktime player. It will also work on Android phones.
