IMO 3D killed itself. I personally think 3D is great, and have invested in a 3D TV and a bunch of movies. But they had a marketing problem with active vs. passive. I would tell people that I have a 3D TV, and their response is "I would hate to spend $250 on glasses." I would remind them that a passive model uses the same glasses as the movie theater and we would just bring the glasses home.
Nowadays 3D movies are harder to find. Force Awakens came out on 3D six months later and only after a fan revolt. Let me tell you the 3D was better on my TV than in the theater.
The only saving grace at this point: VR. Samsung is making VR cool and hopefully Apple comes out with their own VR set. VR will bridge the gap until they build a no-glasses 3D TV.
