Multiplexes already show even 1.85:1 movies using the full width of the theater (typically 3 feet or less unused between the edge of the screen and the corner of the theater). There's no way they could make the image wider for 2.35:1 movies than 1.85:1 movies. All they can do is make 1.85 movies narrower or 2.35:1 shorter.
I'll take as much picture as possible. That means as tall as possible and as wide as possible, and that generally means 1.85:1. IMAX is 1.43:1, and it fills your field of view very well.
End CinemaScope now. It's wasting screen space and it's wasting resolution.
