3D movies make more than 2D movies because there is a $3 surcharge on EVERY ticket. That does NOT mean they are more popular. That said, a fair number of theatres only show the 3D version so you can't even go to the 2D even if you prefer to (grumble, grumble, grumble).
My understanding is that 3D post treatment is Rather Expensive and pretty ugly if not done right. That is why HP 7.1 was going to be post-production 3D (since they hadn't done it 3D filming) then changed back to 2D to have a better movie.
