The reason for this? Paramount says that it is going to convert the film into 3D. There has been fan backlash for this, as 3D is still considered gimmicky by the hardcore fans. 3D also has a higher ticket price, so paramount might want to try and capitalize and maximize it's profits for this film.
Another puzzling aspect recently uncovered was a tweet from one of the films stars, The Rock. The Rock tweeted "Designing new scenes to enhance 3D." Sounds normal, but if one takes a moment, it sounds like they are doing reshoots. Maybe the film is just bad? Maybe after the mild success of the first film, Paramount realized it needs to do everything possible to keep this franchise alive.
Finally, in my opinion, I think Paramount realized the huge losses that might come from this film after the recent debut of Universal's Battleship. Battleship is another one of the franchises based off of toys and boardgames. Battleship sunk at the box office, earning in it's best weekend, only 25 million dollars.
