I thought How the West Was Won and The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm were the only two films in this format that needed it.
Was ...Mad World actually that format or just very wide?
I'm wondering if a 3D conversion (but in 2D) might work.

Watching the trailer in the OP near the end where the names scroll up you can see the they start out curved, straighten out at the centre then curve again, this is known as pincushion distortion, it's the opposite of fisheye distortion. In this case the pincushion is only occuring horizontally.
If your editing software is capable of fisheye distortion it should be able to apply pincushion, probably as a negative value. But only apply it to the one axis

Tried that with lens distortion and negative value horizontally but it removes to much of the sides to achieve the effect. Theres got to be another way which only stretches the sides of the picture without removing picture info.
Any more ideas.

Can't you zoom out the frame to recover the sides?
If you get a hold of the same trailer but without the distortion, you should be able to interpolate how it is being distorted.
