There's no consumer 4K container format for them. That said, there are still lots of 4K-compatible 3D projectors. Epson still makes them, Benq makes them, Optima makes them. And when you get into the $$$$ range, there's quite a few, too. Barco makes a couple, IIRC.
Unfortunately, a firmware update won't help on a projector that doesn't have 3D support, because you need a wireless or IR sync signal being generated for the glasses.
IMO, at-home 3D will end up with a resurgence as newer feather-weight VR/AR headsets start to come down in price. The viewing experience of a 3D movie with a headset is orders of magnitude better better than with 3D glasses.

Hey, did you know there was a pandemic recently, too?
What else have you not noticed in the last decade?

Post-conversion 3D where there weren't lidar maps made during filming is gimmicky.
Even Avatar 2 wasn't shot in real 3D, for the most part. (Of course, given it was mocaped and rendered.)
Live-shot 3D kind of sucks because you don't end up with enough data to do compositing correctly, and you can easily shoot things that end up with uncomfortable artifacts for the viewer that you can't fix after the fact.

Titanic's conversion is equally as good. Of course, James Cameron spent the better part of a year individually reviewing every frame of it, which is a little nutty. But the results were spectacular.

An advertisement is an ad, not an add. Add is short for addition.

Its basically one of Brad Pitt's comedy-action movies. He gets to be funny, blood gets to fly. A powerful set of equally comedic costars makes it exactly what it promises to be.

If you're going to make half-assed accusatory jokes, at least make an effort at spelling.

Then 5040 and 5050 are faux-K and 3D. I think the 5060 is, too? The 5040 can't do 4k/60 in anything but 8 bit 4:2:0, though, so it has some shitty 4k limitations in a world of video devices that force 60fps.
