[Idea] Ghostbusters (1984) - HDTV regrade

That's why most scope movies ended up at 2.20:1

There could be variance but generally a 70mm blowup print should have resulted in greater fidelity in picture because of the superior format but would show up any source deficiencies if it was blown up that large. Plus it wasn't as suited for 1.85 films whereas scope 2.35 only required losing a tiny bit of info.

Audiowise it was like taking off the constraints because you could get the source mix in 6 track mag vs 35mm dolby stereo matrix. Earlier on in the 60's it would have been 6 track mag vs 35mm mono for general release films.

So would they crop if it was shot in scope and open it up if shot flat?

There is no hard and fast rule on how to present 35mm on 70mm.

Some scope films were cropped (which was more common) others had small black bars at the top and bottom. Same thing goes for 1.85 movies, cropped or black bars on the sides.

Both ways are correct.
