“I just feel like the thing that distinguishes movies right now is that wide-screen format and the difference of why you go out of your house to go to the theater; it’s to have that experience that you can’t have at your house. For us, we wanted to really deliver on the promise of those movies. There are 20 movies behind them, so they’re the culmination of 20 films and it needs a big beautiful format to tell that story.” Russo also explained this back in 2015.
