And all movies being sent to screens today are 16:9[/citation]
I'm sorry but WHAT? I just checked a bunch of theatrical releases from bluray.com to see what aspect ratio they had. From the "Newest Reviews" I found the following (16:9 is 1.78:1):
Election: 2.35:1
Death Race: 2.35:1
Friday the 13th Unrated Delux Edition: 1.85:1
Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut: 2.40:1
OK, some of those are pretty old
Crash: 2.35:1
Dan in Real Life: 1.85:1
Mama Mia: 2.40:1
The House Bunny: 2.40:1
The Women: 1:85:1
OK, this is getting silly. Did I find any with a 16:9 aspect ratio? Sure I did. We have, for example, When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions, Category 7: The End of the World, Blackbeard. Do these have anything in common? Yes, they do, they are all made-for-TV releases.
Quite frankly I can not remember having seen a single made-for-theater release in 16:9 aspect ratio ever. I assume there are, but I do not recall having seen any.
