Won't work. Unlike the old style 3D films (colour separation) You cannot pirate modern 3D movies simply by filming them from the screen. The projector is projecting 2 images each using light polarised in a different plain. However cameras cannot see the difference, so will just record the two flat images as one. The result will simply be a blurred, flat (non 3D) film which will be impossible to watch.

In short (for those who do not understand the above), the only way to make a 3D film (using today's methods, it was different when they used colour separation) is to film a solid object, or to make a print directly from the negative. You cannot "film" a projected 3D image, it simply wont happen.

This is one of the reasons for Hollywood's new love of 3D.
