So it’s the Park Road remasters (the ones that do some *real* funky shit with noise reduction and AI-enhancements) *and* the extended versions?
People 100% love The Lord of the Rings, I’m not saying they don’t. But the extended versions almost ask to be watched more like a miniseries – *at home* – than in a movie theater. I think this is actually going to depress their potential box-office a little, not increase it. Especially in the case of Return of the King.
If these were theatrical cut DCPs, released sans weird smeary/waxy DNR+AI enhancement, I think you could really build an argument that you were offering folks a chance to go back to 2001, 2002, and 2003, the way it was. But this is basically advertising that you’re screening UHDs at the theater and that’s it.
